It's day 20 of the Diamine Inkvent fun, and I've been thinking I haven't drawn a chimera for a while. So here you go.

This ink, a chameleon shimmer called "Ambience" is a warm browny orangey red and the chameleon sparkle is following the usual pattern of being quite subtle.

Chimera disrespectant just about.

Tried to catch it for you but it doesn't really photograph well in the time and lighting that I had. See if you can see any sparkle below. Oh well, it was fun to draw, and the sparkle is there but it's tiny.

Today's ink is called 'Overcast'. It's a pleasant grey teal sort of a shade. But again I'm using the recycled paper sketchbook, and it's got this yellow shade, and it's very absorbent with almost no bleed. I dared to try a wash, and nothing doing, the ink pretty much just sat there like it was welded.
An interesting experiment anyway, and quite startling.

You know, you're doing a watery sort of creature, and you'd quite welcome a bit of aquatic swooshiness but no, not this time. By this time I was a bit unnerved so I just finished up the drawing. I could have drawn into the damp paper to see what would happen but I wanted to get this posted, and I wasn't sure I wanted to do any more to this particular drawing, so perhaps I shall save such adventures for tomorrow. Only 6 more to go, but after that I have the 2024 month box from Van Diemen's Ink, and that can see out the rest of the month, along with the Rainbow Scarab.
