More experimenting with a Lanxivi X1 Retractable Fountain Pen. I used black masking tape to fatten the barrel grip area.
I tend to have a heavy hand when drawing which can spread nibs. The ib feels very solid and the flow has been smooth and steady since the get go. Capped it's pretty short, about 4-1/3 inches, so it's compact. With the cap screwed on the back and the nib extended it's about 5-1/2 inches.
Picked it up on Amazon for about $45 USD.

"Emotional Baggage"
Something to kick off a Saturday morning and maybe a bit reflective of mood of late. It also gave me a an excuse to try out a new Lanxivi X1 retractable fountain pen

I was guest on "Sketch Up with Mog & Mel" as they had on the creative team behind "Dracula 1944". Since their book is about a Vampire I figured I should draw one...or two.
There is a meme with Nandor talking to Gulliermo about his favorite muppet being the vampire on Sesame Street. I'll let you look it up.

Reimagining the Goddess, Isis
I picked up some Kuretake gold ink and wanted a character that I could adorn in gold. The goddess Isis seemed like a good option. I did my take on the goddess but included elements like the throne symbol, ankh, wings, and an usekh collar to hopefully sell the look as Isis.

Retro Sci-FI Profile
As a child of the 70s I grew up with a lot of retro and pulp sci-fi. This was a Saturday warm-up project to get in the drawing mood. I wanted to try to capture the look and feel of the art that graced those old sci-fi stories.

I'm watching "Badlands Hunters" on Netflix. I clicked on it because it stars Ma Dong-seok. He was Gilgamesh in the Eternals and I'm just happy to watch something with him again.
Two more sets of bookmarks done. I'm about half way through my usual output for each year's bookmarks.

This is second time I've met and got to hang out a bit with artist Rick Hoberg. This time I pre-commissioned some art from him, his choice of character. He did the cool ass Vader. Especially cool knowing that he worked on the official comic adaptation of Star Wars back the late 70s.
Sigh... 2024
