The Tale of the Rose
(Yes i drew this 2 years ago and never posted it and now the series has ended. This was probably the single best episode of the show)
Whoops I guess I drew these five months ago and never posted them
It boggles my mind that, even after “Reunited,” there can still be people who think of Blue as the nicer, more reasonable Diamond.
I always see people doing screencap redraws and wanted to try.
My mother said it all goes around The moon goes around the planet It all goes around
Maybe she’s just pieces of me you’ve never seen
I keep forgetting that I still haven’t posted my last few Inktober pieces here. Here are Inktober 23-30, previously posted on Instagram: Steampunk #23 (The Gateway); Space #24 (The Prisoner); Urban Fantasy #25 (The Anti-Vampire); Post-apocalyptic #26 (The Samurai); Forest #27 (The Sphinx); Steampunk #28 (The Queen of Darkness); Fairytale #29 (The Grim Reaper); and Forest #25 (The Cursed Knight).
Starting Oct. 27 I was on a trip until the end of the month, and figured I might not be able to do the last few days; but in the end I only had to miss the very last day. That’s way better than I expected to do so I don’t feel too bad about it.
This Inktober was really fun, and overall I’m pretty pleased with the quality of the drawings I did. It was kind of tiring though; I’m still trying to catch up on sleep.
Inktober 20-22/31. Anthro #20: The Swan. Urban Fantasy #21: The Kiss. Anthro #22: The Snow Leopard.
Inks used: Kuretake Black, R&K Braun, Sailor Storia Lion, Diamine Golden Sands, Noodler’s Lexington Gray.
Inktober 18-19/31. Space #18: The Space Beast. Forest #2: The Forest Witch. Again, I decided to fill a prompt from the previous days.
Inks used: Platinum Carbon Black, Hero Black, R&K Hellblau, Daler&Rowney Kandahar (this one’s an india ink).
Inktober 15-17/31. Forest #15: The Prince Fairytale #16: The Harpy Fairytale #17: The Wise Princess
Inks used: Platinum Carbon Black, De Atramentis Document Brown, R&K Dokumentus Braun, Iroshizuku Kosumosu, and some pink/brown mixture I’ve had sitting in a brushpen for a while.
Inktober 13-14/31. Forest #13: The Birds. Urban Fantasy #14: The Angel.
Too many wings and eyes.
Inks used: Platinum Carbon Black, Diamine Carnival.
Inktober 12/31. When selecting the prompts I would do for this month, I decided that if none of the prompts for a particular day stood out for me, I would go back and draw one from one of the previous days. And I decided if I made it this far I would treat myself by drawing something that I like. So for Space #2: The Alien Empress(es), here are the Diamonds, looking like some old manga cover.
Yes, everything here is fountain pen and brush pen ink, apart from a bit of white paint on the Earth. Yes, I used my sparkly inks for both Diamonds, but I couldn’t get it to show up in the scan (you can just see it on Blue’s sleeve).
Inks used (this is gonna be a lot): Sailor Storia Lion; R&K Hellblau; Diamine Golden Sands, Blue Lightning, Eau de Nil, Safari; Iroshizuku Kosumosu; and the black watersoluble ink cartridge that comes with the Kuretake no. 8 brush. I’m afraid my dream of using up some of my ink samples this month will never be realized, as it takes only a few drops to color a whole page like this.
Inktober 11/31. Urban Fantasy #11: The Goblin Lord.
He doesn’t remind them of the babe.
Fun fact: I had trouble googling reference images of goblins because all the search results were for that Korean drama I have not watched yet.
Ink used: Noodler’s Black.
Inktober 10/31. Fairytale #10: The Huntsman.
I drew a certain scene from Girls Made of Snow and Glass by Melissa Bashardoust, a book I recently enjoyed. I tried to make the stained-glass window look like a cutout paper snowflake pattern, because I thought it would be neat and not just because I can’t draw stained-glass windows. :P
Inks used: Platinum Carbon Black, R&K Hellblau, Diamine Red Dragon, Hero Black.
Inktober 9/31. Post-apocalyptic #9: The Lost Time-Traveller.
The time-traveller is wearing an outfit from the Boxer Codex.
Speaking of time distortion effects, there’s usually a delay of a day or more between my finishing and posting these on instagram and posting the edited scans here on tumblr. I just felt the need to mention that in case you thought I’ve been late with these. :P
Inks used: Platinum Carbon Black, Hero Black.
Inktober 8/31. Steampunk #8: The Bearded Woman.
A plucky adventuress tried to infiltrate the gala by posing as the famed “Bearded Countess” of Dalmatia… little expecting that the real Countess would be in attendance.
Ink used: Rohrer & Klingner Dokumentus Braun.
