Extra Fine Nib Ink Review: Anderillium Motor City Peacock Blue

This is review #220 in my series. Here's the YouTube video:

Post-recording notes: This ink was gifted to me by a generous FPNer! :) Cleaning was quick and easy. The microscope smear was straight out of Boringville.

Please note that this is the first review to be processed on my new(ish) computer. While the software used is the same, the screen is different and so any color correction I do may be different. Microscope image capture is still being done on the old computer while I (hopefully) work out an image resolution issue with tech support.

Zoomed in photo (Color is wrong, not turquoise enough.)

What an excellent review :thumb: I have to admit despite the fact that I'm meh about this ink, the colour brings me a lot of joy. I loved the twitching :whip: though I wasn't sure if it was Essri or Makhabesh? Do seeks have tails? :D

:D Thanks, Yazeh! Yes, nice bright color to cheer winter. 'Twas Essri's tail, a nervous twitch. Yes, sneks have tails, where exactly their tail begins and the rest of them ends, I have no idea. :pound:

:) I had heard of Anderillium - probably through Mike Matteson on YouTube, but this was my first ink from them. One day, I may try some again, though they're a bit expensive. You're most welcome! :D
