@0xabad1dea @threatresearch Ooh. I like that ink.

@lachlan @threatresearch I’ll let you in on a secret: it’s just metallic silver irl, the blue green gradient is from pushing color filters really high in the iOS image app

Beautiful.

(I know how to get color gradients in CSS, and I have no idea how you do it in ink. 🤯 )

@BradRubenstein in this photo I used metallic silver ink and then pushed the colors in the photo really hard in post.

With fountain pen inks of similar viscocity, you can “kiss the tips” to get a little back and forth transfer and write with a slight gradient (this works best with pilot parellel nibs) that is visible irl without photo tricks.

I know about cocoa nibs. I have to learn (googles furiously) about this other kind... @0xabad1dea
