I'm seriously considering making some new ink splatters and then taking a photo. But which ink? 🤔

Baystate Blue!

Just kidding - don't do that 😅

Something with crazy much sheen could be sweet.

I don't actually have Baystate Blue but I do have others with sheen!

Making ink splatters is actually easy and a lot of fun: https://fountainpenlove.com/how-to/how-to-make-an-ink-splat/

The baystate Blue was just a joke, because I think it would be silly to use the ink thats known for being difficult to clean 😅

Thanks for the Guide - it seems like a lot of fun.

This is just going to be a good excuse to play with ink and make a mess :D

Here are three I tried putting together, I hope the aspect ratio/size is okay.

EDIT: I have no idea why it's prompting an 18+ warning lmao... I think imgur is a little too gung-ho on their anti pornography filter lately

Are there any guidelines for the dimensions of the banner?

hsl@wayfarershaven.eu · 2 pts · 3y

There isn't much official, but I just did some testing and had good results with 970x240. Less than 1MB size and smaller is better.

Here's how I found it:
