Pen tests and photography
Added 2025-05-26 05:55:02 +0000 UTCMay has been a pretty productive month for me thus far. Lots of new factbook entries and some more illustrations for them, mostly. For the time being I'm holding off on showing you those; my scanner is on the wrong side of the Atlantic.
For my trip to Romania (from where I'm currently posting) I did bring some Bristol board and my usual pens. I figured I would put them through their paces with some Landsknecht; one with my dip pen, one with my fineliners. Overall I prefer the dip pen (perhaps unsurprisingly, it feels more raw and authentic). I'd like to buy a fountain pen with a proper reservoir and see if that changes anything too.
Aside from art I've been taking a ton of photographs of the local area for use as reference material. The heavy, dark, mountainous forests with winding fog are a very close match to the Ebon Forest, after all.
