not my favorite #inktober #inktober2018 so I will distract you with shiny #fountainpens. The prompt was “scorched” and The Chemist thought “fusion!” But then I discovered all this fanciness with stellar nucleosynthesis and how the heck do you draw that? And I tried and look! Shiny pens - a wing sung, a #monteverdenebula, a #sailorfountainpen and this pretty #Jinhao.
