@0xabad1dea What ink is that? It's gorgeous...

[0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange]

@stonebear2 it’s iroshizuku ku-jaku with a bit of leftover glitter in it, BUT if you want to replicate this, understand a) it’s applied VERY wet and then photographed while still wet, b) the color dials of the photo have been fiddled with to push the gradient to extremes

@0xabad1dea I used to follow a fountain penning account on Instagram that posted stuff like this. and 'Asparagus Pee' in extraordinary calligraphy.

@0xabad1dea @stonebear2 … and not just *a little bit* extra

@0xabad1dea how do you get it to change color?

[0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange]

@ghosttie the ink is still very wet when photographed, and then I exaggerate the color in a photo editing app to really bring out the gradient in the lighting variation.

however, it is possible to achieve something similar permanently (that is, still there after the ink is dry, visibly on the paper irl) by "kissing tips" between two Pilot Parallels with different inks.
