So The Other Day I Went On A Little Trip Down The Old Memory Lane, And I Remembered A Particular Show

Reblogging so I can read this later :)

Interesting stuff!!!

Something I try to keep in mind when making art that looks vintage is keeping a limited color pallette. Digital art gives you a very wide, Crisp scope of colors, whereas traditional art-- especially older traditional art-- had a very limited and sometimes dulled use of color.

This is a modern riso ink swatch, but still you find a similar and limited selection of colors to mix with. (Mixing digitally as to emulate the layering of ink riso would be coloring on Multiply, and layering on top of eachother 👉)

If you find some old prints, take a closer look and see if you can tell what colors they used and which ones they layered... a lot of the time you'll find yellow as a base!

Misprints can really reveal what colors were used and where, I love misprints...

Something else I keep in the back of my mind is: how the human eye perceives color on paper vs. a screen. Ink and paint soaks into paper, it bleeds, stains, fades over time, smears, ect... the history of a piece can show in physical wear. What kind of history do you want to emulate? Misprinted? Stained? Kept as clean as possible, but unable to escape the bluing damages of the sun? It's one of my favorite things about making vintage art. Making it imperfect!

You can see the bleed, the wobble of the lines on the rug, the fading, the dirt... beautiful!!

Thinking in terms of traditional-method art while drawing digital can help open avenues to achieving that genuine, vintage look!

My brain is still not adjusted to the idea that it’s the “2020s” like someone will say something so profound like “Megaman 11 came out in 2018” and I’ll think to myself how long ago was that? I could’ve sworn it came out like one or two years ago… and then it’s 6 whole years ago and I just wanna crawl into a small hole and feed off the planets nutrients to build power and generate an invasive hive mind infection for the sole purpose of erasing the idea of years from the minds of the earth…

I hate feeling old…

Hmm 27, Not bad if I do say so myself! Although I think Tetris might acount for a lot of my hours lol

Sorry I haven’t posted much art in a while… I’ve kinda gotten wrapped around it and I’m trying to improve by a certain margin before posting again…

For some reason i have a habit of setting arbitrary limits on myself before i do something… such as reaching a certain skill level in drawing before sharing it or 100% a game before i move on to play something else… But more than that… with art in particular, i feel a deep yearning to improve… to reach some kind of gold standard… I know it’s not healthy but… sometimes i feel like i can only value myself by my skills and accomplishments rather than anything inherent to myself… it feels like i have to EARN any respect from myself or others because it’s not free… and right now I haven’t earned it yet cause nothing I’ve made is good enough yet…

Today on TopGear!

I go for broke with a Royal Flush

Decided to imagine what a kids book from super earth might look like. Having a lot of fun with helldivers 2! For democracy!

Dang these are pretty!!!

thinking about the time when movie posters and book covers had detailed original paintings made for them compared to what we have now

Sorry, but I can’t unsee this

NO MORE FALSE PRIMES

Tw: goreish (Not too graphic but just in case)

Howdy it’s me, been dealing with a slight illness…

Nothing too bad, but I hate sleeping with a fever. I always end up getting nightmares. Although today the nightmare I got was just plain

Weird

I basically dreamed up a clip compilation of a Saw movie, only instead of being the regular formula it was a road trip, comedy-esque, slapstick fest…

Like Jack*as on wheels… The scenes would always play out with a victim and then the “Saw” guy (played by Ryan Renolds with Deadpool makeup, idk why) And each clip would be a random “torture” moment filmed like a funny bit…

The clips themselves are kind of a blur for me… all except one.

The victim and Ryan “SAW” Renolds are stranded at the side of the road, I guess their car broke down, And their in the middle of a conversation, the contents of which are not important, all of a sudden Ryan just shoots the victim with a staple gun, The victim obviously yells out in pain, and starts to back away. Ryan just gets closer and keeps stapling him, he says “Don’t be such a baby!” And to his credit he’s not just stapling Willy Nilly, the victim has a small gash around their lower stomach which is where he’s stapling… (Im not a doctor but… I don’t think the gash was quite that large to warrant staples but oh well). Anyway the Victim starts running away with Ryan hot on his heels. Ryan catches up, and the two end up in a skirmish, which results in the victim wrenching the staple gun away. Now the boot is on the other foot. Ryan is bent over catching his breath, as the victim slowly approaches him for some payback. Ryan then starts

SPRINTING LIKE A GAZELLE ON THE SAVANNAH

Trying to get away from the victim with the staple gun, at which point I said NAH, and opened a settings menu and just pulled down the slider on Ryan’s speed so the victim could catch up. It’s really funny seeing how he ran cause he was doing a simple “Running” animation but for no reason his character model was bouncing around 6ft up in the air like he was on a pogo stick or something, although he wasn’t ACTUALLY on a pogo stick. Do not miss interpret that, there were no pogo sticks in this dream…

Anyway, the victim catches up and shoots Ryan with staples… Then I woke up…

To be honest, I’ve never actually seen a “SAW” movie, truth be told I kinda hate horror movies… especially overly graphic ones… But for some reason that entire dream was just labeled “SAW” in my brain and the whole time I knew that this was the intended source…
