ko-fi rq for @chthonicarcher of oc jonnas taking care of his lighthouse. rlly happy w the perspective / ambience i got going on here. it's the least he deserve...
high-res on da ko-fi (+ bonus char sketches i did b4 starting)
& timelapse as per request under cut
i've been receiving a lot of asks recently, and i've really wanted to do something a bit more to boost them than just reblogging/answering, so i'm putting together a list of fundraisers & blogs that have contacted me recently, and if you donate 15$ (or the equivalent of 15 USD) or more to one or more of these fundraisers & send one of us proof, myself or @boxheadpaint will draw some sort of critter for you!
the 15$ bar is due to the fact that we both have limited drawing abilities (currently i'm trying to limit all art due to wrist problems) but i HIGHLY ENCOURAGE you to donate whatever you can, even just 1 dollar!!

Drawing made May 15, 2018
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!

people NEED to stop gatekeeping making music like ohhhh i don’t have an instrument ohhhhh i don’t know music theory ohhhhh i’m not gonna pay for some program. SHUT UP. take my hand.
you need NONE of that shit!!!!! there’s a website called beepbox.co. literally all you have to do is press things until it sounds a modicum of nice. it’s easy it’s free and it works on anything which has a browser because it’s a website.
if even ONE person starts making music bc of this post it will be worth it.
making bad music is just as important and okay as it is to write badly or draw badly or sing badly. you AREN’T BEHOLDEN TO MAKE GOOD MUSIC. making music is not utilitarian HAVE FUN. HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!
