Cosmic Reef is a dirty grey blue-green with flat red sheen. It’s amazing how blue the chromatography is on this.

Polar Night is a lovely purple-grey chromoshading ink. It develops lovely brown pink colouring and some yellow tones as well.

Golden Mist is a very pretty orange to pink chromoshader. Unfortunately it’s very pale, so I don’t think it will write well. I do see it as a great possibility for painting things like donkey orchids though!

"You shouldn't make art for the money" buddy I'll take it one step further and say we shouldn't have to labor for capital at all but in the meantime pay an artist

Blue Hole is a pale blue with yellow undertones. It chromosades and you can see it appears almost green in some areas and quite yellow in others.

Flame Nebula is a lovely burnt orange with pink undertones. It wrote beautifully with a dip nib, so should behave very well in a pen!

4 panel comic by War and Peas. 1. A calm forest by night. An owl sits on one tree. The caption text reads, "Out in the forest there's no such thing as Christmas." 2. "No chopping or trees, no frills, no fancy presents." 3. "Just all of nature's creatures living in harmony." Close-up to the owl on the tree. 4. The owl flies away and the tree goes, "He shat on my head again, didn't he?"

2:1 Snow Angel and Morning Frost on Mars - very pretty combination.

Morning frost on Mars is a glimmer additive you can add to any ink for shimmer. I think this would look nice in yesterday’s Snow Angel and I’ll do a swatch of this later.

L.G.M is a bright acidy yellow-green. Totally not a me colour, but I’m so glad to see more experimental interesting colours after the normal blues we’ve had.

Sungrazing Comet is a classic bright blue with red sheen. Dried well with no stickiness. I’m sure it will be a crowd pleaser, although I admit to being bored with blue sheeners.

The Void is a very dark blue with matte coppery black sheen. It’s very thick and went tacky and didn’t move far when swatching. Odd colour for an advent imo.

Erebus Crater is a grey-green to pink chromoshader. You get a sneak peak of something else I’m doing with the Colorvent inks, as my swatch doesn’t show the darker colours.

Apollon is a golden yellow-orange that makes me think of butternut squash. This looks like it will shade well in writing.
