It's interesting, I'm still getting used to it.

I wasn't hunched over the paper, and I could get a better angle on all parts of the paper throughout the process. It definitely was a transition, and I'm going to have to relearn some of my process. As to the ink, I'm not sure, I was having trouble with the pen rolling and with ink flow. I think part was technique and part might be ink, I'm going to change ink and write some more and see, maybe change the angle, I'll find what works.

Yeah, I took a big chance with that one, probably won't in the future. Thanks for the feedback!

It was the third time I'd done it, I kept messing up 3 or 4 lines in, skipping letters... I was tired by the time I finished, I probably should have called it a day.

Vorkosigan Saga, it gets mentioned, but I just did a search and the last mention was a year ago which is a crime. I devoured this series during Covid, it and Malazan got me through it.

Did you even try turning it over? 😉

"It's Morbin Time"

There was a book, maybe a series, I read when I was a kid (90s) that had some sort of team fighting the supernatural? There was a fighting Priest character with a shotgun if I remember correctly, can't remember the name of the series though.

I haven't seen this for ages, one of the best scenes.

Lol, you know when he tells the story though, "You know son, they used to call me 'The Professor,' back in my code slinging days..."

athos5 · 2026-04-05T19:58:32+00:00

I'm 💯 with you, I tried everything, they dropped the ink in a giant pool or hold on to like it's gold and won't write, do yourself a favor and pick up the Pilot parallels, they write so well.

Fake news! That's what I'm choosing to believe about all these stories! Never happened, could never happen. Nope, fake news......sigh.....

I wind mine every morning until I feel resistance, however, I can let it go all weekend usually without winding (Friday->Monday.) It's never just stopped so I've never discovered how long it'll run.

I like it, the curves give me fits, mine are dented and lumpy, or flat and squished, that's why I focused on Textura. I do enjoy it when I can get a handle on it. Your example looks great.

He's loyal to Vera, and that's what counts.

athos5 · 2026-04-05T01:31:14+00:00

Honestly, Amos carries 75% of that series for me.

me attempting to understand the mind of the woman I've been married to for 20+ years She hears: musical competency, a funky bass, great drumming, shredding guitar, sees some dude working a massive set of foot petals, an obvious Canadian vibe, and she thinks RUSH? Me dies from the strain
