Mini Ink Review: PLUS x Sailor Dark Purple
Today's ink is PLUS x Sailor Dark Purple, which came with the Starry Sky fountain pen and notebook. The set is a collab between PLUS and Sailor.
Stating the obvious: In a finer nib, the ink comes out as more black than purple. If you want it to look more purple than black, you'd have to use a thicker nib.
Feels: It wrote well in both my fine and my 1.0mm Hocoro nibs.

^ Ink review sheet under natural light (and my hand casting a shadow on the left side lol)

^ Scanned version - I promise I will look for a better scanner which will not wash out the colours but in the meantime, this'll have to do!
Zoomed in:

^ No, it is not water resistant, but at least the water doesn't completely erase the lines! Also, the smear test came in clutch since there was no smear with a fine nib at the 20-second mark.

Other thoughts: I think they captured the colour of the night sky pretty well and I see why they chose this shade as the ink that comes with the Starry Sky pen.
Closest dupe I have on hand: Taccia Ukiyo-e Aomurasaki

Anime villains of the 80-90s be all like: "OMG there are exactly TWO blonds in all of Japan. Clearly, neither of them is Sailor Moon."

Sailos Jupiter as a Centaurette
This is my version of Sailor Jupiter, drawing her like a centauress goddess of thunder. I wanted to give her a badass look without forgetting her beautiful feminine traits. Her fuku is very minimal and revealing (just like the centauresses were meant to be on the original movie) and the 'horse part' of her body is a bit inspired by classical my little pony designs. I am a self-taught illustrator recovering from years of mental illness and an absence of self-esteem in my body, so I have a long way to go and get good at drawing. But I love the result and also my previous works and will redraw this character soon.

I very frequently park the bike here when I go to the city center. I like the corner tower of this building, decorated with reliefs showing tigers, elephants and moustached barechest men. Makes sense, since it used to be the Indian Institute of #Oxford. You know, British Empire and such... . . . #indianinstitute #artdrawing #art #myart #myartwork #sketch #draw #artwork #drawingart #artoninstagram #sketching #urbansketching #illustration #wercolorillustration #watercolorartist #watercolorpainting #watercolorart #artistoninstagram #instagramartist #watercolorsketch #inkandwatercolor #watercolors #penandwash #penandwatercolor #danielsmith #davincibrushes #escodabrushes #sailorpen (at Oxford, Oxfordshire, UK) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqARzkjsr4u/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is a complete set of Classic Pens LB5 prototype fountain pens photographed over the course of their introduction from 2012 and 2013. Left to right are Tensui (raindrops) in Space Blue, Tairiku (continent) in Marble White, Midorigi (new green trees) in Forest Green, Kaen (violent flames) in Flame Red, Kouseki (metal ore) in Diamond Brown, Tairiku (continent) in Amethyst Mauve, and Tensui (raindrops) in Space Blue with rhodium plated trim and nib. Each is made of Carville diffusion bonded acrylic and is a 6 1/16 inches long oversize cartridge / converter pen based on Sailor's top of the line King Profit, also known as King of Pen. The LB5 is ¼ inch longer than the standard King Profit because the barrel is longer. The cap band is a very wide, full to cap lip gold plated insert, engraved with SAILOR LB5 [model name] 00/50 around the entire band. Each color had 50 production pens each with an individual edition number on the band. The standard nib was a medium or broad 21 karat gold Sailor nib marked 1911 over 21K over 875 over the Sailor logo. The edition is sold out. #pencollecting #fountainpen #classicpens #lambroupens #artpen #sailor #sailorpen #sailorjapan #kingofpen #kingprofit #tairiku #kaen #midorigi #kouseki #tensui #tairiku #amethyst #penhero https://www.instagram.com/p/CLp6GjVD9oy/?igshid=hzinsx4xsr04

the sailor shikiori sansui nadeshiko fountain pen is NOT pink.
DISCLAIMER: No hate to the purple pens and purple pen lovers out there. We like what we like. 💜🩷
.
In September 2023, Sailor released a new Shikiori collection of fountain pens called Sansui (山水).
Based on the promo pics, one of the pens called Nadeshiko looked like a cool-toned, lavender-leaning-bubblegum pink pen. Paired with a white section, the pen was love at first sight (online) for me.
Let this be your reminder that if there's a chance for you to see the pen in person, do it. Don't be like me who admired it online for months and bought it without ever having seen it in person despite having the chance to do so.
Because this whole time I was admiring it, I thought it was for it being a rather different shade of pink.
It's not pink.
It definitely leans more towards purple. 😭
Tumblr media
It feels like the exact same shade as the bougainvillea in our garden, which is a saving grace for the colourway since I could ascribe a little sentimental value to it, but on its own I can't help but feel disappointed that it's not pink.
For colour comparison, here is the pen next to an Estebrook Estie in Punch and a Platinum 3776 Century in Nice Lilas respectively. You could see how the Nadeshiko looks significantly more purple than the latter two which are already quite purple-y themselves (though Nice Lilas is still unmistakably pink).
Tumblr media
The pen is far from ugly, but it's not pink.

WEEK 2: DECAY @inktober There's so much I want to share about this piece. 1. It wasn't the subject I originally intended to draw today, but the weather prevented me from accessing my intended subject. Not for a lack of trying. Swipe through to see a video of the point where I decided to turn around. If nothing else, I am dedicated to my work 🤣 2. I loved this prompt! This gorgeous, dilapidated boat is across the way from us. I've been meaning to draw it for so long, but you know life & other projects happen. I really think there is a beauty in decay. Stated another way, decay really is just change & everything around us is constantly changing. Living on the water has brought that into sharper focus for me. It isn't necessarily a scary thing (although it certainly can be), it's just reality & I'm learning to make peace with that. 3. Oh my goodness, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the nib grind that @customnibstudio did on my @kaweco.germany Lilliput. It's an Extra Fine nib with a Needle Point reverse write! It's SO incredible for cross hatching! THANK YOU GENA!!! I'm hoping to put together a @youtube video sometime soon about fountain pens & their application in sketching & artwork. I'll be sure to demo this pen in the video, so stay tuned 😉✌ #inktober #inktober52 #inktober52decay #decay #customnibstudio #oldboat #penandink #landscape #urbansketching #fountainpensketch #crosshatching #dailydraw #dailysketch #drawing #sketch #doodle #dibujo #kaweco #kawecoliliput #sailorpen #deatramentisink #urbangrey #stillmanandbirn #blackandwhite #change #dedication #illustration #illustrator #fountainpen #fpgeek https://www.instagram.com/p/CY-SgSODExm/?utm_medium=tumblr
