Neat. This reminds me of this one:

But unlike yours the blue turns into black almost immediately and into a very shiny black if you use a quill

I wonder if DeAtramentis makes that ink for them. It's the same bottle, and DeAtramentis does custom runs, like this "Wiesbadener Quellentinte" for a shop in Wiesbaden.

Interesting though to my knowledge De Atramentis doesn't do IG inks. Their speciality is pigment inks.

My apologies @christof
Essri is one of the best.
Drier is Registrars.
In between there is Akkernan's.
Very expensive and difficult to find is Bible ink. Pale and dry, you've got the brown Gutenberg Urkundentinten G10.
You've got the wet KWZ blue black.
The rest are faux IGs That includes Stipula and R&K, i.e. not truly water resistant.
Pelikan Blue black is also supposedly IG.

#48, Star,
It seems that nobody is going with "a self-luminous gaseous spheroidal celestial body of great mass which produces energy by means of nuclear fusion reactions" [Merriam Webster].
Well, neither am I. I used a couple of Staedtler drawing pens and a Pentel brush pen for this. I find the brush pen darn near impossible to control. Practice, practice, practice.

I realized that if I wait to make the perfect sketch, I would never do it.
So without fair ado, imperfect, Gobblin and (shooting) Star...

...honestly, I won't be unhappy when Inktober52 is over. I'm getting tired about these prompts. I hope to start something new in the new year.
But we will see....

I know what you mean, although I haven't made the same effort to do them all. But some of the prompts suggest ideas that interest me.
I had an idea for "graffiti" that I may still want to try sometime. But when I started a preliminary pencil sketch I realized that it was going to get far more complicated than I had patience for just then. So I went off in a totally different direction and did this, which may strictly speaking have less to do with graffiti. In my mind, though, there was a connection.

The pen I used is my oldest fountain pen, a Waterman's 12 PSF from (I believe) the World War I era. I thought it gave this effort a suitably antique air, although when it was made, Edward FitzGerald had been dead for some 30 years, and Omar Khayyam for around 8 centuries.
I vaguely recall seeing an edition of The Rubaiyat that had literal English translations beside FitzGerald's poetic ones. But literal translations typically don't work that well as poetry.
