I like the near symmetry, I never have patience for such detailed and elaborate artworks. I wish that I did though.

Yeah, I have a purple higgins that somehow got really thin (that might be my fault)
first of all, what surface did you paint on? did you put it on paper or the canvas board? if paper, what kind? It might be porous and the ink might have been overpowered by the paper. (I have no clue what is a good and not good paper, its just another angle to explore)
I would try another brand first if you really like blue ink - see if windsor and newton will work (despite the extra expense) - and if not, than if you want to fix that particular art work, you might have to try mixing the color in something more color-fast, such as acrylic.
You also might try (before it fades) sealing the dried ink with an acrylic gel medium (matte, so it doesnt shimmer) - if you have any, or get any - try a scrap piece first and give it time to 'fade' before you try it on something else. (if it doesnt work, there are plenty of other uses for gel medium, its worth having)

yup. I understand that! Mixed media. I learned my lesson with trying to seal something with oil parts. >.<

yeah, oils throw quite the wrench into the mix.
but they're oh so yummy and irresistible o.o
