I'm only saying this for your sake, but objectively, it's not a smart idea to bring politics into normal hobbies. You might lose supporters of your blog just because of your political stance, and that would be terrible since you're so amazing!! It's only a suggestion, but I really reccomend not bringing politics into anything.

Small update: I bought one of those backlit tablets to help me do calligraphy on blank paper and it's working wonderfully! I'm so happy

Not having to draw reference lines every time (and then go through the ordeal of erasing them) is so refreshing.

I'm planning on getting back into commissions and emptying the ask box, so if you want me to write something or make a card out of some quote just write me an inbox, I'll be happy to work my way through it and get some needed practice!

This is how it looks btw, I use some light adhesive to fix the card on the guide sheet and then I can happily write on blank right away

Not really a fursona I guess and this was commissioned so I didn't make it myself but literally me nonetheless

Damn I always wanted to put my hands on some ferris wheel, that green looks wicked. Gorgeous.

NEW INKS BAYBEEE

once a year i treat myself to a handful of fancy inks, here are the additions to the roster:

Definitely Peachy

I mainly bought this one to have a base colour for skintones when I'm doing marginalia of little people, i have a few shades of brown to mix with to get a range of skintone, but up to this point every time I've needed something lighter I've had to custom blend a peachtone. not anymorreeee

Serpentine Blooms

okokay i KNOW i already own a shimmer magenta but a) it looks so pretttyyyyy and b) i wanted the commemorative bottle, i am a weak weak, art gremlin

Cloak and Forest

I don't actually have any inks with a sheen completely different from the base! this has a red sheen that just peeks through which looks super neat, plus I wanted a superdark green anyways since I've got a superdark blue (jellybean) already

[theworseshitpostcalligrapher]

hello! I'm wondering what pen you used on your gideon the ninth page? it looks great btw (love the ink sheen)!

Hi! I used a Lamy safari with a 1.5mm stub nib for the purple text. The red letters are made with a pilot parallel, that too with a 1.5mm.

It is done.

Brief video at the end because I love the sheen of the purple rain.

FUCK.

It's such a bummer how easy it is to smudge the purple rain.

If you're wandering why the pages are turned that way it's because I'm left handed and have to turn them 90° clockwise to be able to write with the correct angle.

"In the myriadic year of our Lord - the ten thousandth year of the King Undying, the kindly Prince of Death! - Gideon Nav packed"

I'm sure she did.

Snippet of an exercise, I'll post the whole page when it's done.

And some close ups

Dhmu just read that Faramir and Denethor heard Boromir’s horn the last time he blew it, I read the “I do not love the bright sword” quote, and Frodo (in the story being the author instead of Jrr Tolkien,) referring to Faramir as a young man bc Frodo is 50 in the books AHHHHH I LOVE THESE BOOKSSXDSS

And Faramir talking in parentheses??? Who else would do that besides him, I love him so much

"I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only which that they defend: the city of the Men of Numenor"
