collagraph print! collagraph is weird for my brain to grasp so some of the bugs i made aren't as clear as i wanted but I'm very happy with the spider

please notice the close up textures. i spent hours carving tiny lines into all the gaps between the silk for more texture. look at my texture

kiss your silly surveyor buddy to convince him that he is not responsible for your death. this will totally work

^ layers

[basil-the-bulbasaur]

this one I made for a friend less than a week after my class ended <- infected with a terrible disease called printmaking

[basil-the-bulbasaur]

Final print for my class was three layers of color. The colors show up worse digitally but I have a slightly warmer and a slightly cooler version

Title: Good Luck Guessing What This One is About (Alt title for warmer grey print: Warm Woods)

misprints and individual layers below the cut

I have one slightly bluer print and one with some red eyes (there were two but I traded that one)

first layer is where the colors are different. this had me repeating "you're just jealous of my grays!" like a motto. I'm really happy with my colors. you can also see the holes here, those are used to line up the paper for each layer to be placed as consistently as possible

second layer is a gradient roll

the third layer is called the key layer! you've already seen the third layer but here's the block before printing

I'm not explaining this one

[basil-the-bulbasaur]

hello hermitblr, I have deepfrost citadel relief prints. behold

also the wood block itself and the final drawing

but that's not all!! I have committed to the bit after (accidentally) sharing a wip with people on discord in a channel intended for fic wips. Now we have the citadel's feelings about being turned into a woodblock relief print!

The Deepfrost Citadel was conflicted about being depicted in such a way. Its many shades simplified into black and white; its grand structure shrunk to the size of a postcard. It deserved a grander display; murals, oil paints perhaps, or hell, maybe people should just come visit it in person! A great structure such as itself could never be conveyed by a measly canvas!

Still, the wood block prints were a nice change. The Citadel's halls had been so quiet recently. It missed the bustle at the height of its popularity, when the dungeon was full of screams and bloodshed. Maybe some advertisement would do some good, bring the players back. Bring the Dungeon Master back.

The Deepfrost Citadel no longer felt conflicted.
