Or

[mizgeorge]

Not there yet - but Ptero is getting very, very close....

[DrPenfection]

Vinta Cosmic Blue - but someone may have already suggested this

[DrPenfection]

Vinta Pilgrim's Blue (but not sure if this is a shimmer)

[DrPenfection]

Vinta Night Sky

Or even it is claimed to be a grey ink

Vinta London Grey 1762 Ulap?

[mizgeorge]

Hmmmm

Vinta Greenwich 1675 Oras?

Yessss!!!



Well done Ptero - not the easiest one as it's a Cult Pens special, but an ink I've found myself using far more than I expected!

[DrPenfection]

Well done, Ptero! I am so excited that you won! We get to see another one of your amazing illustrations! Yay!

And thank you mizgeorge for that fun adventure. It looks like a really beautiful ink. I didn't realize that those exclusive inks were shimmer inks. I learned something new today! Thank you!

Two of them are shimmers (the pink has shimmer by the bucketful and this one is really quite subtle for writing, but can deliver a lot more for drawing). The Papaya (lavender) and my favourite, the 'London Grey' aka Ulap are not shimmer, but multitonal, particularly the Ulap, which also behaves very differently according to the paper it's on.

In general, Vinta have become a brand I like very much indeed. The only ones I've met so far that I didn't really get on with were a couple of the really heavy sheeners, which dried so slowly and smearily as to be unusable for me - one in particular didn't seem to ever dry - even after weeks. I ended up diluting it very heavily and using it for colour washes, which worked fine, but rather defeated the object!

The London Grey looks lovely. I will have to order a bottle on my next Cult Pens order.

Bravo @Ptero.....
That was a fun one mizgeorge! I had the same mishap with some of Organic studios inks. I absolutely disliked them and when I diluted them by mistake, I realized it was just a simple teal ink....

[Pterodactylus]

Thanks George, Yazeh, Dr.

@Dr.
Puuhh.... "amazing illustration"..... don´t know...... as I do not want to let you wait quite long I can only come up with something quick.....
Not my best one ever I fear.
But I have one other ink piece ready which I will post in the art section (which I'm quite pleased with).
Still have to take a photo, but these days are gray and dark, so not ideal conditions to take a shot.


Anyway, here is the new mystery ink.
I fear it will be again way too easy for you ink geeks.

(Faber Castell Osmia 223 - F)


The pen is a interesting one.
It´s a Osmia 223 push button filler.
It's already marked also with Faber Castell as Faber Castell already took over Osmia, but still sold the Osmia models, later on the Osmia Brand disappeared as brand.
This pen is marked as F but it is very fine, it can give very fine delicate hairlines, not worse than good dip nibs can deliver.
It has also a bit flex, a semi flex.
I really like this little pen, it´s nib is just awesome (the finest nib line wise I own).
But as with all fine or extra fine nibs, every inperfection in your writing is shown clearly (not like with broader nibs which cover such things).

Very nice, Ptero! And quite something for 'not your best ever'... haha!

I'm thinking Kyo-no-oto 08 Moegiiro might be an interesting ink to start my guessing with
