POSCA Miku
You've seen:
Sakura Miku.
Snow Miku.
Bottle Miku.
Shiteyanyo.
Now meet: POSCA Miku (NT)!
I was sooo inspired by Miku Day (3/9) here at Tumblr with so much beautiful art and even though I missed the date, I figured I'd miku miku anyway. Most depictions of her that I saw were in her default, VOCALOID2, iconic outfit. Decided to give Piapro's NT some love!
Also, scratch whatever I said about POSCA being better than alcohol-based markers in my last post. It's just all so experimental to me right now, I should have foreseen what great use alcohol markers shall have to me in my future POSCA drawings! They make for the perfect shading tool, being kinda transparent and all. Blending with POSCAs is a no-no, and shading with them is blocky, black-and-white-- which is actually good for cel shaded illustration, just not what I was looking for.
Now I can't imagine my traditional art without either of them. :)
I had no idea what was going to come out of this. It's not perfect, but since I had no expectations, it ended up pretty satisfying!
Thanks Pelikan and Sinoart for... existing, really, and commercializing the glass pen and pink ink. I love them. I used them to give the drawing a final touch, and Miku seems to have enjoyed it! I'm brand, fresh new in the world of fountain pens.

Let's do the twist! Pelikan Twist old and new.
Chubby Checker has been crooning in my brain since the Pelikan Hub. Why? Because Endless Pens was generous enough to send our hub some “new old stock” of Pelikan Twist fountain pens from the 1980s. Since I was lucky enough to get one of them, I figured why not order the newer Pelikan Twist ($20) and do a little side by side comparison? Here goes nothin’!
The “old school” Twist and the “new Coke”…

New Pelikan! This was my gift from the r/fountainpens Secret Santa exchange. Had loads of fun participating, but I think I'm going to have even more fun playing with this pen.
Only ever had a kiddie Pelikan Pelikano before (like, 20 years ago lol) so I'm looking forward to trying this M205 out. The nib is very squeaky on Clairefontaine paper, but I still need to test out other papers and inks, so we'll see how that goes.
