#sanbae Back at digitizing and machine #embroidery! Weyrem Nation!

A black background embroidered patch depicting Vtuber Sansin in a pose from her music video of her Seven Nation Army cover. The woman with dragon horns is depicted from the midsection upward, hands outreached, fingers spread. She is wearing sunglasses with white bobbed hair with black streaks. The embroidery is all white thread, with gray and silver for the shadows, and the black of the background fabric showing through to depict linework, San’s tattoos, and sunglasses

At least being too broke to afford new games has given me the opportunity to dig in the closets for the old game consoles and handhelds! On my way toward making my own Nerd room

A wooden desk, cluttered with various elements of retro and handheld gaming. There’s plastic milk crates on their side below the desk, one on the desk, alongside a silver CRT TV. Next to the crate is a display for a Gameboy color, clear purple with 3 gameboy pokemon games on the display as well: Red blue and Yellow. There’s a Game And Watch displaying a Mario themed digital display of the time. The tv displays a screen of the blue ocean and colorful reefs of Ecco the Dolphin on Sega Genesis. There is a black GameCube with games, gameboy advance SPs, plastic cases of GameCube games. Below the desk is a Sega Genesis with 3D printed blue game cartridge display, an N64 with 3d printed games display, and nylon carrying bags for the n64 and gameboy color

Met quite the productive little critter this morning on my walk! The web was large enough to span from a stop sign to a nearby tree about 5 feet away, and about 8 feet in the air! I believe this is either a marbled orb weaver or a furrow orb weaver

An upwards angle photograph of the morning sky, pale blue with the sun rising to the left of the photo. Silhouetted in black is a small form of a spider, crawling in its web, with a fresh catch of a fly. The web is near invisible against the sky but it stretches between a stop sign and a nearby tree.There are tiny, almost indecipherable other silhouettes in the sky, which are gnats and mosquitos caught in the web

A close up of the spider crawling over its webbed up caught fly. The spider is about the size of a quarter. The body is a pale orange with an orangish brown thick, bulbous abdomen. The abdomen has a pattern of spots and stripes colored in shades of brown and tan

Of all the kinds of art and making I’ve been working with, I think I’m having the hardest time with drawing. I think I’ve got it in my mind that there’s a “correct” way things should look, and since I don’t have the skills yet to materialize that, it’s all negativity. I’m struggling to find the fun

A callback to Charlton Comics’ Fightin’ series, here’s my next #Vtuber comic book fan art featuring Tomoe Umari! Printed with #risograph!

A Risograph print depicting Vtuber Tomoe Umari, a horse Vtuber, on a Minesweeper board. It is stylized like a vintage comic book with a title block top center, a publisher info block in the top left with issue number below. There are flags scattered about, depicting the game almost completed, except for 2 blocks with question marks. The numbers surrounding them indicate the choice is 50-50 which is a mine and which is safe. Tomoe is straddling these two tiles, donned in a military inspired cropped vest and shorts. She is cradling a mascot of her chat, a little horse looking afraid in an army helmet, while she has the final red flag in her other. She is shocked and has a word balloon stating “This is it Umarmy!! This time we’re swept!”

This is the end result of "there are no sfw kinks" logic. Everything is a kink for someone. It doesn't matter how tame or innocuous it is; someone, somewhere, gets off to it. Amd there is no level of "toning it down" that will ever be acceptable to people whose goal is for you to not exist at all.

Much happier with this round of #pottery glazing than the last. Tried a new brand of glazes the studio had, I love the look of the Oxblood over the Shipwreck blue! Lovely speckling

Three glazed pottery pieces, all three bowls. A blue green taller one with dark speckles, a shot flat one with earthy green and a light green center. Finally a mid sized bowl with purple glaze overlaid with wisps of blueish green

A blue green glazed bowl with dark brown firecracker speckles, roughly a handful sized

The flat short bowl with varying green earthy tones of the glaze. The finish is a bit more matte. The bowl is about 8 inches in diameter

The purple bowl with cloudy greenish blue tones. There’s some concentric circle patters of the greenish blue wisps in the bowl

I’ve been building #gunpla on and off for a few years, but never had the courage to start painting til recently. I’m having so much fun trying out different techniques and effects! It’s been like glazing pottery, where I can just play and create, less focus on the details more on the overall effect

Two plastic 1/144 scale gunpla models. One red boxy robot is on a knee, looking up and aiming its cannons at a blue sleeker pirate-looking robot striking out with a kick. They’re both battle worn with paint effects showing weathering and battle damage

A single 1/144 scale gundam ground type model with heavy weathering details. It’s carrying a weapon in each hand; an smg style gun in one and a large two-handed grenade launcher style weapon carried by its top handle in the other. It is standing upright, relaxed, mid stride, like its trekking to its next mission

A light purple, sleek looking gunpla robot model. It has thinner, sleeker arms and legs with large thrusters on its hips. It looks built for speed. Its helmet is angular with white wing like protrusions, and it carries a futuristic lance and round shield. It’s got the shield up, the lance at the ready, held up in the air by a stand, facing upward and ready to thrust forward and strike

A heavily weathered gunpla robot. Its torso and shield are in a pale, militaristic green. The shoulders are big and boxy with large points and the boots are thick and rounded. It looks heavy and powerful with two long fuel cells for its thrusters protruding from its back. It’s on a desk surrounded by paints and other robot weapon accessories to be painted, and the build instructions in the background

Here's how I suggest dealing with that: Do your thumbnail layouts. Block in the lettering. Adjust the layouts to better fit with the type, and only THEN do your tight pencils and finished art.

One of my lettered roughs from an issue of Metamorpho I drew. Al Ewing wrote it, and Ferran Delgado did the handsome final lettering that appeared in the book.

He is a purple “bean,” a bean shaped critter with rounded edges and a giddy happy face with bold linework. He has a green leaf tail. He is also wearing a red cape tied like a bedsheet around his neck, flowing behind him

Back on the Vtuber comic book fanart wagon to celebrate PorcelainMaid’s new model (it was new when I started this piece, anyway)! Risograph print on recycled cardstock, with the cleaned up scan of the original inks as well. Inspired by the tale of the Steadfast Tin Solider! #PorcelainMade

Risograph print featuring the VTuber, PorcelainMaid. His female doll form is depicted as a toy paper ballerina, reaching out gently toward his male form, PorcelainGuard, depicted as a porcelain toy soldier. They are engulfed in flames, while a maniacal king figure is in the background, sneering, watching them burn. The title “Porcelain Maid” is at the top on red script. A text box in the bottom center reads “The Steadfast PorcelainGuard”. There are graphical elements from the covers of comic books, such as an issue number and price in the top left corner, and the direct edition barcode art in the bottom left

The black-and-white inked page of the comic book fan art. There are no colors on the page except for the lineart of the subjects, and there are no graphical elements like the issue number or title

Researching more into zines has gotten me wanting to explore the art of collaging. I inherited my grandmother’s stamp collection awhile ago, and started to play around with placement and shapes. Making relationships between disparate objects or just arranging them aesthetically

A collage piece consisting of vintage postage stamps. A large cloud of colorful stamps is in the middle of the image. They have artwork of European and East Asian architecture, historical artifacts, works of art. There js a stamp of an American flag and others of Soviet iconography. Below, at the bottom of the right side of the frame is artwork from a stamp of two men with their backs to the viewer, walking together leaving footprints. Above the cloud is a stamp of a bird.

I’ve seen a lot of other makers and creators express interest in #zines lately, and I made a happy discovery at the bookshop! This book from 96 has incredible insight into the minds and processes of makers in the movement. Given their transient nature, it’s a brilliant collection of zines to explore

A 2 page spread form the book. This section is about the creator of the Zine CrapHound, a zine that collects text and clipart arranged in artistic layouts

Pages from the zine Housewife Turned Assassin by Sisi and Dani, beginning in 1993. There is accompanying interviews with the creators about the nature of their publication

2 pages introducing Fat Girl, a sapphic zine dedicated to plus sizes. A photo of the creators all laying together is in at the bottom of page 2

Had myself a whole-ass day of printmaking! Riso, laser-etched wood cut on the printing press, and 3D printed stamps of my linework. Scanning the results now and I’ll have them posted tomorrow! #printmaking #Risograph #printingpress #3Dprinting #stampmaking

A printing drum of a Risograph printing machine, a stencil duplicator machine. The drum is extended out of the receptacle of the printer, either being loaded or unloaded for another drum color. It is currently loaded with crimson red

A laser etched wood relief cut, rolled with a blue-gray ink, prepared for rolling under a printing press

The printing press machine. It has a flat bed with some layers of thick felt, which are covering the ink-loaded wood relief and paper. A metal crank is on the side, to engage the machinery and roll the flat bed under the press to transfer the image

3D printed stamps in blue-gray plastic. One is of a rendering of linework of a bear paw mark, another has the name “Deo The Bear” in stylized block letters with raking claw marks across; the lettering is mirrored for transferring to paper. The last is the artist’s signature, rendered in 3D print, reading “Deo the Bear” in cursive. They each are covered in black ink. There is a plastic tray with black ink spread across it on the side, with a brayer roller sitting in the ink, ready to roll fresh ink onto the stamps

My current used bookstore obsession: clipart books! These will be fun to mix and collage with the Riso clipart from the Gocco. I think I’ll make it an ongoing project of mine to collect, scan, and vectorize a library of clipart for other designers and printmakers to use too #clipart #printmaking

A brown colored booklet, published by Dover ClipArt Series. It is a collection of various clipart images, presumably older public-domain illustrations. This collection is focused on clipart regarding reading and books. There are pen and ink illustrations rendered in black and white depicting Victorian dressed characters young and old with books or writing. Some illustrations are even medieval or of men from the Elightenment period of European history

A page of the book, with several pen and ink illustrated clipart images, presumably taken from historical print publications in the public domain. They’re rendered with cross hatching styles. They depict a dip pen and ink bottle, a man in a chair smoking and reading, a man and a woman snuggled and reading a newspaper, an illustration of a grand, two-story library, among others

A two page spread of the book. Illustrations here depict ink bottles, Renaissance era characters with books, a man in a turn of the century lounge chair, women reading and writing at a desk, and even a tasteful nude illustration of a woman reclining on the floor reading a book

A page from the book, with more illustrations. A shelf of books, some standing tall, others haphazard and leaning. A scene of a man at a desk. Another of a man in peculiar older clothing reading a manuscript. There is a curious illustration of a book with a human face on its cover, as if the book has come alive

So much of the comics advice I've found most useful is not big-picture meaning-of-life storytelling stuff, but "every page should end on a mini-cliffhanger" and "make sure each issue includes at least one splash page the artist can sell at a convention"
