Like horror+mythological creatures/folklore? Sign me the fuck UP.

Been watching playthroughs of Silent Hill f and finally watching the last one for the 'true' ending and wow. Definitely would have preferred to play this game myself but my computer is a bit of a potato. They were NOT subtle on the symbolism but it's so well done.

Shop update is live at rusapenarts.com
3 new waterproof, vinyl sticker designs and 7 custom fountain pens

I was able to catch a bit of direct sunlight after work last night and snapped a few pics of my next batch of custom fountain pens! These will be available on my website RusaPenArts.com on April 21st!

Doing some last minute sealing/touchups for my next pen batch. 😌 May the resin gods be in my favor (PLEASE)

I got a new schedule at my day job and I'm so happy. It'll give me more time to work on pens!

A new design, perhaps? Another custom fountain pen work in progress!
I'm thinking maybe mushrooms or something

I added a bit of water to the ink in this pen and LOVE it. It's a bit more green in person but it shows off the chromashading so much better. Top 3 lines is before I added water and the bottom is the same ink and pen but after

Work in progress for a custom Kakuno fountain pen! This will be listed on my website in my next shop update April 21st!

Commissions for custom fountain pens are open!! Just fill out the form here: rusapenarts.com/pages/commis...

Theme songs you can use to summon me: Sailor Moon (1990), Batman TAS, and X-men (90s cartoon).
I will come running

It feels so silly when you have to reference your own art to remember how you did something xD yet here we are

Just started watching the 2017 season and...yeah, the feeling is totally different. It doesn't capture the same slow paced kinda melancholy feel

I've never heard of it till recently! Came across a video on it on TikTok of all things lol. But I'm really enjoying it.

Another has a Roman style colosseum with fights to the death in order to become 'First Class Citizen'. Also enjoy that the main character is heavily implied to be non-binary. It's slower paced kinda like Frieren or Mushi-shi.

Each 'country' has it's odd 'traditions' like a country that requires every child to undergo a 'surgery' to turn them into a Perfect Adult once they turn 12yo (though it's suggested to be a sort of lobotomy).

Has anybody seen Kino's Journey? Currently watching the 2003 season and I'm really loving it. Reminds me a bit of Twilight Zone and Mushi-shi.

Either way, the fact that somebody actually thought this was a good idea is terrifying enough. Every day brings me closer to just moving into the forest and becoming the local cryptid

That's just terrifying. What even defines suspicious? Like a guy who walks by your house 3 times a day around the same times? No wait, that's your neighbor walking his dog.

Watching Psycho Pass is....really interesting given current events over the last 2-3 years

Finally started watching Frieren (while working on pens lol) and it's not what I expected. There's this odd calmness to it. Kinda sad and nostalgic which fits the story perfectly. Reminds me of Mushi-shi or Ghibli movies.

Haha fair enough!!

Trying to figure out what my next stationery collection theme should be.
Kitsune Flash 🦊✨
Or
Celestial Pond 🌌🐟
Any thoughts?

I've heard that if you do a silly dance the convention gods will favor you. Can you confirm? 👀

Doing a lil bit of shop maintenance! Mostly just reorganizing or updating things here and there in preparation for opening up commissions!! It's not for another 2+ weeks but yanno

Thank you! The one in the second picture has already sold but the one in the first picture is still a work in progress. If all goes well then it should be part of my shop update in April! 🤔 I won't know a price till it's done, though.

Thank you!

Thank you! I'm hoping to start sealing next week so we'll see how it turns out

So my new custom fountain pen design Hang the Stars (2nd photo) was very popular. Buuut I can't get some of the supplies I use for it any more. So trying to rethink it using supplies I already have (1st pic). I haven't sealed it yet but what do you think?

Commissions for custom fountain pens will open on March 21, 2026! Slots will be very limited and on a first come, first serve basis.
