i am of course Extremely Gay for madam/sir/??¿ knives-for-hands but also my main criteria for drawing fanart at this point is, can i reasonably put them in a very loud suit y/n?
(i do have a queue of other characters in mind and am also very easily persuaded to design more loud patterns so, uuuh, if you throw it out i might pick it up)
Got a proof & another proof! And the rest of my paper, GOSH do it feel good on the surface, can’t wait to hit it with lead
Did a bunch of math, made some educated guesses, and at a certain point you just gotta set the type and see if you’re going to run out of room or not and I am NOT! Great. Amazing. Stellar.
Haven’t proofed it yet so there’s def some typos but mostly I’m hoping my edition of Good Omens doesn’t have any errors in these first few pages?? Probably not. I’m sure it’s fine.
words and clothes, those are the only two things I know how to do
good evening, I am here to mark the stage at which I said nnaAAAAAH to any kind of historical accuracy in their clothing
OK we’re learning!! Tried again to do digital for lineart and some colors, supplemented with letterpress printing for border & text & the pattern on his shirt.
better in the sense of, uh, I mean giving Satya a very good dress is always time well spent but I thought about it and really what I’m trying to learn is to—not necessarily illustrate events but to amplify the meaning of text with illustration, efficiently. so I went through Hanzo’s voice lines and said well which of these bytes is an efficient encapsulation of his character to me, and how can I present it as a complete idea without sequential parts, and I sure hope I achieved some of that too because—
I also fixed a bunch of technical issues! I handset the pattern on his shirt and printed that in two colors through a frisket on a C&P, and I made the frisket a lot cleaner this time, more reliable, so I didn’t lose any sheets for dumb reasons. So far there’s really no way to do this with the motor of the press turned on unfortunately, so it’s still a really small run—I’ve got ~38 I think.
Also handset the gold border with rule & decorative pieces; DeVinne Condensed for the text. just LOOK at that G!! what a good font.
tbh I…don’t know what the intended market for this is supposed to be, it’s sort of a niche intersection of interests but. I do have ~38 of these, they’re 6 x 8.75 printed on very nice warm white Neenah cotton paper, I think it was 90 lb. Message me if you want a sad guy with shiny gold accents!
ok this is—disproportionately exciting to me and no one else i think, aha, it is: a 5 x 7 digital print for lineart and some colors; then a handset pattern for her dress and the border; then masked off around her dress and the pattern printed in two colors! almost, almost exactly as according to plan.
like, i’m going to do a whole bunch of things differently next time,* but all in all this went really well and it is proof that what i want to do in the future can be done & done at my quality goals!! which is!! very cool for me personally, and anyway when is it not a good day to give Satya time & attention & a new outfit
*if you’re curious, some of the Issues i had included: i’ll need a different material for the frisket, the bleedthrough was almost immediate; i think i can push the digital printer to take a more letterpress-friendly, softer paper; hopefully i can eliminate some registration struggles. basically i had a pretty unacceptable loss rate on my 10 test sheets, but i’m taking it as encouragement that i got a handful of good ones on the first try.
working on a………tHING.
been thinking about HP/Fantastic Beasts lately for reasons and I know we’ve all got A LOT of questions for madam jk but the only one I feel qualified to contemplate, for a sec, is. like. we’ve gotta throw around the word robe a whole lot in this fandom huh. what a bewilderingly vague word, robe, i mean, what kind of material are we even talking about here
silhouettes who’s she
is there a spell for silkscreening and what year did wizards get around to making it
inktober 2: fareeha makes an extremely good case for sleeping in
i’ve learned to cry on command and the command is: think about asshole wizards and their smitten undead boyfriends
cant stop wont stop thinkin abt dumb ideas!!!
update, 10 months & a rewatch later and i have 0 regrets about my League of Extraordinary Gentlemen casting choices
pls click for the patterns i painstakingly made & then buried in this hecking edgelord’s need for Dramatique Lighting
just wanna draw ladies in nice clothes all day every day yknow
friends unfortunately i’m not here to have Good Ideas, i’m here to mash things together in a Hadron Collider of increasingly niche interests
by which i mean, who else here remembers Elfquest???
Yay for Braun! Now he just has to hope that Bork Lobster deigns to show up at some point to actually defend the universal title so he can cash in 😒
I’m hoping my good large son goes on a cross country road trip with my favorite ref John Cone, searching high and low for Mr. Borkus Lazarus culminating in a falls count anywhere style match inside Lobster’s mansion. Braun would go ham on a mansion.
i thought about putting a pattern on his pants and then i hit myself in the face with a BRICK because the file was named HanSKETCH.psd
