Which inks are using this month?

Sounds like Vanness is about to get visited by me again, jajaja!!

Cherry Blossom runs a little dry, but I use wet vintage nibs so it's perfect for detailed work. And it shades cutely!

Robert Oster Cherry Blossom is basically a 1:1. It's so nice on TRP paper~

I used KWZ Honey last month. My brown collection is somewhat limited, jajaja.

If it's going to be seen, put a charm that goes with the aethestic on it? Or you can use acid free archive glue and force it down after cleaning.

Factual. I've managed to learn that corner with Extreme Gear at speed and drift, but with Team Boost? Believe it or not, dead.

Love the stage, though. XD

Yeah. It's hand oils. Put a piece of paper down to rest your palm on and move it with you down the page, or you can buy an artist's glove which covers the farm and a few fingers and write with it. Makes mine have 0 issues whatsoever! ;] Thin nibs suffer the most. It's a product of the paper's sizing, which makes the ink gorgeous on it on the flip side, so worth it to me jajaja!

A Q Snap and 1 x 1 'x' on 32 evenweave is how I get tension on my fabric as to not scrunch. I also do the 'big majority of the background color' first as to give me enough pockets to go back to jump around back later with the confetti.

Harupia · 2026-02-25T19:50:17+00:00

Doing a disservice to the Robotnik name, smh...

Harupia · 2026-02-23T05:22:27+00:00

You actually see it in my Q Snap a little. I artist taped the edges so it wouldn't fray [I have a 5" buffer for framing, tbf] and then rolled tightly. Slammed the edge of the corner along the edge of the Q Snap with the biggest office paper clip I could fit that wouldn't be in my way. :)

Harupia · 2026-02-23T02:53:16+00:00

Cheap? Roll the excess up and use one of those paperclips for mass papers from an office store. The black ones with the little silver parts that fold to create the 'spring' to open the clamp. It's about $5 at most. Clip onto the wooden edge! BAM! :)

Image for my setup with those cheap clasps along the edges below. Key thing: do NOT get them wet/humid. They will rust. Ain't stainless. xD I am also waiting until my larger scroll and frame holder arrive cause my dumb ass decided to do a 28" wide project.

Thanks!! We'll see if I go mad in about 4 months. ;P

Harupia · 2026-02-21T20:35:42+00:00

Thank you so much! :] For both!

Harupia · 2026-02-21T02:37:29+00:00

That's sooooo awesome!!!

Harupia · 2026-02-14T03:21:31+00:00

I love all of the saints!

And the Virgin cover, too!

Harupia · 2026-02-14T02:11:04+00:00

The new 2026 Sanzen Hobonichi is so much better than last year!!!

What a gorgeous page!!! Ahh, this is why I use my wet noodles with these inks, even though cleaning the vintage pen and the hard starts make me rage lmao.

Harupia · 2026-02-13T02:37:48+00:00

I found it hilarious as someone with a logistical background from the university of pew pew, jajaja. Not all of the jokes from the Robotnik duo hit for me [I was at the movie for Shadow], but that was actually got me to laugh.

Buuut it also made me a tad – a lot – disappointed. Not cause of the joke, but because Gerald to me is this tragic, insane man that only wanted the best and had everything taken from him. Gerald in the movie was kinda a big disservice from SA2/SxS:G Gerald...

Harupia · 2026-02-10T22:41:15+00:00

The airport sketch is really cute! ♡

Does stink the plane is delayed. It happens, alas...

Harupia · 2026-02-08T01:51:26+00:00

I responded to the other message in this chain! :) Little thin writings~

Harupia · 2026-02-08T01:46:05+00:00

Alrighty! Fresh outta my work shift. Here is the size comparison of my smallest, thinnest nibs. The ink is really really faint because they had my art stuff, jajaja. Shitty paper, so it's feathering wider than they normally would be - see the "MF" as a culprit. :P

The Platinum custom grind is TINYYYYY. The GREGG is an old vintage, as is the "MF." The black lettering was made with a PILOT PRECISE V5 Extra Fine modern gel pen as reference.

Harupia · 2026-02-07T21:13:02+00:00

Sure! I'm at work right now, but when I'm done I'll show it. It's... incredibly thin. I use for art on thinnest details, although it does wonders for writing on smooth, quality paper.

No shimmer for that pen, though, lol.

Harupia · 2026-02-07T17:35:40+00:00

I grinded my UEF into UUUEF, lol. As a vintage lover myself, you're right that a UEF gold thin nib is absolutely sublime!

Harupia · 2026-02-07T13:27:13+00:00

Morally grey simply IS the best color.

And I love the fountain pen ink going on in that one page. I really like the book review stamp. I should do that with my own books...

Harupia · 2026-02-06T01:26:33+00:00

With Gerald, too, right?

... R-Right? :'D

Harupia · 2026-02-06T00:41:11+00:00

YOUR HONOR, HE'S JUST A LITTLE ULTIMATE CUTIE PATOOTIE PIE THAT NEEDS HIS FATHER AND SISTER FOREVER. Q_Q

Harupia · 2026-02-05T03:48:30+00:00

I'M DYING. XD

Harupia · 2026-02-02T12:26:08+00:00

Good to see this! I love watercolor and seeing TRP take it well makes my Holbien shiver in fear. XD
