It’s my cake day, so I thought I should post something. I just completed this yesterday.

It’s about 11 x 17" or around 28 x 43 cm

Sorry about the lousy photo quality, my phone/camera is not the greatest.

Hope you like it!

      Thank you!

      I just developed it over the past few weeks so that’s actually really nice to hear because I’ve been skeptical about how it will be received.

      No, I’m not a fan of those, actually. The brush fibers are way too limp, so I feel like I have no control like I’m drawing with a wet noodle.

      EDIT: Actually, I’m not sure. I thought you were talking about one of these, which are just terrible.

      Here’s what I used (tried to get detail of the brush fibers and name). I get them from a local art store. Maybe they are a cheap knock off of a Pentel or something, I can’t find them online.

      The brush fibers are really stiff and nice, but the ink quality is not great, so I will probably move on, honestly. I’d love to know if you have any experience/opinions about any of them.

      Most of he modern internet is super commercial and seems to just gobble up everything that gets near it so I make an effort to keep my real, tangible, life in interactive, “meat space,” as much as possible.

      That said, I didn’t know about Pixelfed. Also, I guess I didn’t consider people far away actually wanting to see what I’m doing lol. I appreciate the suggestion. If I start an account, I can DM you if you’d like. The Fediverse is just so fantastic and may make the Net fun to use again, I love it.

        Its true, I have been looking for genuine things, being movies, art or technology for a while now. It looks your where sharing something you are passionate about and your art somewhat ressembles what my godmother used to engrave on wood for me, so I thought I could follow you to see more since I’m have not been to my godmother’s workshop for a long time. So if your ever make an account or a website please send it to me.
