leeceDrawtober No.27 FireContent Notes: Drawn with a Kaweco Sport, mainly. I'm not sure what the ink in the Kaweco Sport was, that I used for the dragon. It's got a sheen, and also seems to have a shimmer, so maybe I can track it down, but it's closest to Sleigh Ride from Diamine so let's go with that for now.NEWSFLASH it's not Sleigh Ride, it's Spiced Apple, ignore what's written on the artwork it's *wrong*, I scrolled back and found what I had loaded it with in Mermay!The new Pelikan ink helped with the orange bits, and the rest is just some brush markers.<a href="https://aus.social/tags/FountainPenink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FountainPenink</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/FountainPen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FountainPen</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/OriginalArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OriginalArt</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Drawtober2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Drawtober2025</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Drawingwithoutanet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Drawingwithoutanet</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/NoAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NoAI</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/FantasyArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FantasyArt</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Dragons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Dragons</a>

leeceDrawtober Day 25. Prompt was 'Map'.It's the last day of my Inkvent Calendar from 2023 and it has given me one of my favourite combinations in an ink, purple and shiny! This is Diamine's "Raise a Glass" Ah, who doesn't love a map! Great prompt.

Firstly thanks to <a href="https://aus.social/@Steveg58" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@Steveg58</a> for the suggestion of a dragon settling down for so long it became part of the landscape and forgotten by people, because I needed inspiration. And it's a special day, we have two inks, because today was the Pelikan Hub event, and Pelikan kindly gave registered attendees a bottle of the year's ink, which you can see below. It's a bright one!It's Apricot Achat in the Eidelstone range. The other ink is the 24th ink the inkvent calendar that I'm nearly at the end of, Sugar Snap - it was the 2023 calendar and I think there were some beauties in it!So without further Ado, here we are, not wonderful photos tonight but I'm a bit tuckered now.<a href="https://aus.social/tags/FountainPenink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FountainPenink</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/FountainPen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FountainPen</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/OriginalArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OriginalArt</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Drawtober2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Drawtober2025</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Drawingwithoutanet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Drawingwithoutanet</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/NoAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NoAI</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/FantasyArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FantasyArt</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Dragons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Dragons</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/pelikanhub2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pelikanhub2025</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/PelikanHub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PelikanHub</a>

leeceDrawtober Prompt No.23 Undersea And in what is starting to be in the grand tradition of using an Inkvent Calendar during one of these challenges Diamine has presented me with the standard ink "Fireside Snug" which I think is about as far as you can get from an Undersea prompt.However this thing just started drawing itself with the dip pen, and when you think about the colour of some of the kelp you get around here it all falls into place, so, my friends, let me present to you the:"Giant Kelpy Seadragon. This large and cryptically adapted dragon is no relation to the Leafy Seadragon being much bigger and no relation to the pipefish at all. They can be found anywhere there are large stands of kelp, particularly favouring the larger species like Giant Kelp.Their cryptic colouration and fronds lets them ambush their prey, usually fish. There is no evidence that the resident Giant Kelpy Seadragon took Prime Minister Harold Holt although residents say that the creature was 'unusually agitated at the time' for reasons unknown.Calls to destroy the beast were shouted down by locals and conservationists, and Finnigan, as the beast was affectionately known, was a popular attraction for many years before starting a migration to the Sargasso Sea in 1973 where the species is believed to spawn. What happened to Finnigan after this is unknown."<a href="https://aus.social/tags/FountainPenink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FountainPenink</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/DipPen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DipPen</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/OriginalArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OriginalArt</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Drawtober2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Drawtober2025</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Drawingwithoutanet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Drawingwithoutanet</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/NoAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NoAI</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/FantasyArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FantasyArt</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Dragons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Dragons</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/microfiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#microfiction</a>

The ink is really pretty, it's Tranquility from Diamine and it's a lovely purple, and as if to try to make up for the nib it showed off some of its Chameleon sparkle for the camera.I'm so grumpy though, I need cheering up. *So, I need a caption for this picture.*If you're not familiar with why it is this Rhythm Band is in such peril ask in the comments.<a href="https://aus.social/tags/FountainPenink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FountainPenink</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/DipPen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DipPen</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/OriginalArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OriginalArt</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Drawtober2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Drawtober2025</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Drawingwithoutanet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Drawingwithoutanet</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/NoAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NoAI</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ScienceFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ScienceFiction</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Dune" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Dune</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Sandworm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Sandworm</a>

leeceI love the evocative prompt so thank you to whoever had that idea! The ink is a chameleon shimmer from Diamine called Astral, and I even managed to get you a hint of its sparkle. As is usual drawn straight ink to paper so any mistakes we all just have to live with.This page turned out to be more writing than drawing but I thought it was in keeping with being the diary entry of some off-planet amateur archaeologist surveying an intriguing site with a helpful local guide.Here's a transcript in case you can't read my writing.*** Desert Ruin.There was not a lot to see.My guide gestured. "Here we are." Amongst the sand there were a few scattered stones, probably parts of some walls. But the main item was a dark stone statue half buried in the sand. Upright, large eyed and winged, although one was broken, the tip lying next to the sculpture."Thank you." I said to the guide. "Did the ancients look like this, do you think?"A snort was my reply. "No one know what they looked like. They made us what we are, gave us intelligence and language but didn't deign to leave us with thumbs. All we have is an oral tradition of powerful beings."I put down a survey marker. "Do you mind helping me?"My guide flicked an ear. "You're paying me.

leeceDrawtober Day 18 and the prompt is Daydream.Dip pen, usual, just straight pen to paper. An exercise in doodling and daydreaming, I don't know what other people daydream about but my mind took me to the sun and the moon, to rainbows and opinicus and unicorns and dragons and dinosaurs and numbats and sailboats, just sketching away in Diamine's Buck's Fizz chameleon ink. The photo doesn't do the tangerine hue justice, and the sparkle isn't picked up either.

leeceDrawtober 2025 Prompt 15. Glitter. Dip pen and nib, the ink is Diamine's Walnut. Usual ink straight to paper. And while it is a perfectly servicable drawing ink, a dark sepia - it is an unfortunate ink to come up in the inkvent calendar on the day that Glitter is the prompt. *sigh* So it's the first prompt that I feel I have not really stepped up to the plate properly in execution. The deadly glitter I was imagining in this basilisk's eye I don't think really comes across. Maybe if I put a wash over everything except the eye? But I wasn't brave enough to do it.Well maybe it doesn't really mean it. My basilisk/cockatrice usually wear sunglasses anyway because they tend to be friendly types.

leeceDrawtober 2025 - No. 14 Propped UpDip pen and nib, the ink is Diamine's Rainbow's End chameleon. And it's a lovely purple ink, quite beautiful, with that oh so hard to photograph chameleon, mostly red sparkle. I tried hard to capture it for you but I needed a third hand. rdm might assist later.Anyway, I remember reading the Flight of Dragons some time ago and I vaguely remember that they kind of came to a conclusion that dragons were very light and filled with buoyant gas, so that's how I'm figuring these hopefully acrobatic dragons are doing what they're doing.Otherwise we're just buoyed by enthusiasm and physics just looking the other way for a bit. The dragon on the left is, however, trying to put a stop to all this nonsense.The Eastern Dragon must have great balance. Reminds me of my niece in law, she's tiny, but is the base for her acrobatic troupe.<a href="https://aus.social/tags/FountainPenink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FountainPenink</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/DipPen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DipPen</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/OriginalArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OriginalArt</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Drawtober2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Drawtober2025</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Drawingwithoutanet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Drawingwithoutanet</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/FantasyArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FantasyArt</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/NoAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NoAI</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Dragons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Dragons</a>

leeceDrawtober No. 13 IceDrawn directly with a fountain dip pen, no pencil. A water brush was also used for some wash. And it comes with a little bonus story.The penguins slid up onto the iceberg. "That was close! The leopard seals were bad, but the orcas were really fast!" One of their number gazed up at the iceberg. "Um." The iceberg, which before had only vaguely resembled a dragon, creaked and then grated out through its icicle teeth "Won't eat you. Bigger fish out there, you'd be barely a snack. Welcome.""Oh. Thank you. What will you hunt? We can point the way to some shoals"The ice dragon smiled, loosing several icicles which the penguins dodged warily.
