↓↓ process images + rambling below ↓↓
I had a lot of fun making this! getting started on it was a bit of a struggle because I wanted to do something that wasn't just a digital drawing! and once I settled on doing a relief print, it really limited the scope of my composition ideas.
I initially just had the image with the closeup of Gossan's face, but it felt like it was missing... something..... narratively and compositionally. so I added another print above it with the perspective flipped! I think it looks a lot more complete now :3
here's some images of the carving process! I used 4"x6" rubber blocks, and black cranfield safewash ink. my transfer method is scuffed as hell so you can ignore that lol, but you can see how tiny some of the cuts were! crazy
I also decided to carve these onto rubber blocks instead of my usual battleship grey linoleum which. idk. I still prefer battleship grey I think? it's a lot harder (firm) and I can get more defined shapes, since rubber can more easily squish and move around while carving/printing. and I really like the feedback you get from carving into harder material (I think I would LOVE woodblock printing lowkey). but without a press, rubber, being way softer, is less laborious to print with. I have also heard that rubber is easier to print on fabric with too! so I may or may not try that? we shall see ::)
and here are images of the prints fresh off the press (my kitchen counter) (I do not own a press) (yet)
A Palaeoecological Reconstruction of the Ember Twin Lakebed
Hey folks! We are so excited to share with you all our submission for the @outerwilds-events History and Science Fair!
The Ember Twin Lakebed is a fascinating geological site, filled with clues about the planet's history and long-extinct occupants in the form of its numerous fossils. We've given the site a thorough survey and have come up with some pretty neat ideas as to what Ember Twin may have looked like all those years ago, when life was still plentiful on this now desert planet!
You can tune into our "lecture" on the subject below. We hope you enjoy watching, and we look forward to hearing your thoughts on our interpretations!
As always, feel free to send us any questions you have! This is just a sneak peak into what we've been doing for our full survey of Ember Twin!
