![The MTG card [[Octavia, Living Thesis]] hand painted to look like a print of an octopus based on the traditional fish printing method Gyokatu.
Gyokatu was a way to keep records of fisherman’s catches by brushing a fish with ink before pressing it onto paper.
This was painted with Golden Fluid Acrylics and Army Painter spray primer. After masking off the name and stats, I primed the card. Then I alternated between sanding and painting white. After that, I applied thin coats of acrylic to recreate the inked prints based on a handful of works I saw online. The red “stamp” is my initials and the black characters say elemental octopus](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hwcdbygukwnroscewxfa4dp5/bafkreidedmp5bnxq43uh7gk6qkbsmrc64llfttmq6yidrswl6ejybofmrq)
