every. single. day. i lie in bed and i am unable to sleep. in ace attorney investigations 1 some blonde bitch gives miles edgeworth a bottle of ink for his fountain pen. it is made of some sort of oil. immediately this is inaccurate to real life. there is not a single fountain pen ink sold anywhere that is oil based. oil based ink is reserved for ballpoint pens. and some permanent markers. if this didn't already tell me that the venn diagram of people who know shit about pens and people who work at capcom are two circles separated by ten thousand light years, the next thing that comes out of the blonde bitch's mouth is "just dip the pen in when you need to refill." what. that's not how you refill fountain pens. they aren't dip pens. they aren't water brushes. while refilling via a piston involves dipping it in the ink, that is not the only step. for roughly three years this has been all i have been able to think about

been experimenting with some coloring/finishing techniques and i'm so impressed with krita's modulo layer effect ...

it's really fun studying the mathematics behind this class of layer effects and surmising why it works so well in the above screenshot (on top of "flat" cell-shade drawing to add just enough of randomness.) i think it has to do with the logic of gradients but then the abrupt switch to the next gradient, versus one samey blob of color.

"painting" that layer effect on with a watercolor brush (introducing another level of randomness) has some serious mileage! especially if you can still eyeball the general intensity/hue.

one problem i've always had with digital drawings is how stiff and lifeless it can feel without the randomness inherent in physical paints. a lot of effort behind digital brushes is the creators deliberately re-introducing artificial randomness - but sometimes it still feels odd or not enough. wet paints and ink separate, markers fade over time, entropy is its own artisan, in a way.

This article tells you how what print density is and how to adjust it on your printer. By properly adjusting the print density on your printer, you can improve print quality and reduce your spending on ink and toner cartridges.

Nothing is funnier than while watching a GMMTV series with my husband, glancing over and realizing that he’s on Canon’s website browsing printers. The product placement got him 🤦🏻‍♀️

Today's pen is the Waterman C/F, the pen that made cartridge-filling standard.

It's so 1950s, I love it. Like, you half expect it to have fins.

Ink cartridges were used by a variety of pens as early as the 1890s, but they were usually glass. Not the most convenient material! Waterman's plastic cartridge wasn't the first plastic one, but it was by far the most successful. Even to this day: the International Standard cartridge is their design.

This one wrote a bit dry when I got it, so I've been tuning it. Seems to be a thing with ebonite feeds that they can deform over time. Otherwise it's a nice slim, lightweight pen.

my work is continuously disincentivizing us from coming into the office (which is. once again. because our managers want so so so so sosososo badly to turn this blue collar job into a corporate white collar industry where they can hold meetings in the office, without ever having to see the loud dirty techs who actually perform the work they like to hold their meetings about) and part of that is telling us all to buy our own printers and print off all our paperwork from home.

and it's genuinely like. man. in the name of never having to see us techs come into the office, you are paying a shitload of money for us to buy subpar printers with hugely expensive small cartridge ink, instead of using the giant business printer that's in the office. like. are you stupid.
