Summary: Dip pen mermaid
Content Notes:This Mermaid was drawn using a dip pen, and Diamine's Upon A Star Chameleon shimmer ink.
The Chameleon inks are really hard for me to photograph, they're sparkly, but very tiny sparkles,
and on a rainy day like today there's no sunlight.
 
My phone light does bring them out, but without bringing out a real camera it's probably a lost cause, and I would rather just get it posted. If you look at the close up of the tail you can see that it's got quite a sheen going on, and also I did manage to capture a tiny tiny sparkle. There's more there, really, but I just can't get it to show. Click on the images to embiggen.

Characters/Pairings: The Keeper (Wraith queen)
Content Notes: Part of a cracky series for Mermay, where I shoehorn "mer" into various characters' names. This was inspired by Panisdead's story Ascension World: A Place for Children where the nasty possibility of aquatic Wraith is raised. So here's an AU version of the Keeper - the Wraith queen from Rising.
Summary: The last thing any diver wants to find is a Wraith Queen lurking in the kelp.

There's some bright but hard to capture sparkle and Sheen in there.

Summary: A mermaid offers a deal
Content Notes: [personal profile] rdm caught me as I was going out to MerMay and reminded me of a short story he'd written a while back, and suggested it as a prompt for today's drawing. You can read it and see if I caught the mood. Drawn with a water brush and three fountain pens. The rashy is done with Memory Lane, which is a shimmer, also seen Golden Lapis and Azure Kingfisher, and for the skin tone it's Robert Oster Terra Fuego I think.

Summary: Green mermaid with a secret
Content Notes: The ink isn't quite Appletini - it's what you get if you can't be bothered cleaning out the dregs of the Pelikan Malachite and fill the cartridge with Appletini. The pen is a Pelikan Twist, always fun and a super comfortable draw.
 
This merlady seems like she'd rather be somewhere else. What's that she's got?
 
If you'd like to see the pen you can wander over to aus.social if you like.

I do have a more detailed, less superficial drawing that I'm working on as well as these daily quickies, but that's taking a bit more time.

a quick list

What I'm writing: The sequel to The Dementia, original novel. It's about the generation ship Peace, where everything fell spectacularly apart after the events of the first novel, and Jacks and Antony are trying to keep the ship's life support going while society falls apart around them. I'm at 92,000 words and closing in on the end of the first draft.

What I'm reading: Blue Lightening by Ann Cleeves, the fourth of her Shetland murder mysteries. I can't do tension right now, so I am spoiled for the ending. It's not my favorite of the books so far, but still giving me the Shetland vibes I'm craving. I have read pretty much every Jimmy/Duncan fic on AO3 (bless small fandom writers), and while the books aren't scratching that particular itch, I'm still enjoying them.

What I'm watching:
1. Shetland season 5 (very slowly, also spoiled for it) I think I like the show better than the books. Likely because it has the slash ship vibes whereas the books are very het, which I'm not against either, but well, you know me.

2. Delicious in Dungeon (for the second time with Husband) We finished watching and then immediately started it again. It's anime, hilarious, brilliant, and has a lot of heart. It's set in a overt D&D setting, with a party of adventurers exploring a famous dungeon. The story starts when they need to go rescue one of their magic-users from a dragon, except after the initial encounter with the dragon, the rest of them escaped via a transportation spell, and they lost their supplies and their money. So they decide they're going to eat monsters as they descend to find their friend. It's great.

What I'm excited about watching: Murderbot! We have a watch party with friends on Sunday and I'm so excited!
