OK we’re learning!! Tried again to do digital for lineart and some colors, supplemented with letterpress printing for border & text & the pattern on his shirt.

better in the sense of, uh, I mean giving Satya a very good dress is always time well spent but I thought about it and really what I’m trying to learn is to—not necessarily illustrate events but to amplify the meaning of text with illustration, efficiently. so I went through Hanzo’s voice lines and said well which of these bytes is an efficient encapsulation of his character to me, and how can I present it as a complete idea without sequential parts, and I sure hope I achieved some of that too because—

I also fixed a bunch of technical issues! I handset the pattern on his shirt and printed that in two colors through a frisket on a C&P, and I made the frisket a lot cleaner this time, more reliable, so I didn’t lose any sheets for dumb reasons. So far there’s really no way to do this with the motor of the press turned on unfortunately, so it’s still a really small run—I’ve got ~38 I think.

Also handset the gold border with rule & decorative pieces; DeVinne Condensed for the text. just LOOK at that G!! what a good font.

tbh I…don’t know what the intended market for this is supposed to be, it’s sort of a niche intersection of interests but. I do have ~38 of these, they’re 6 x 8.75 printed on very nice warm white Neenah cotton paper, I think it was 90 lb. Message me if you want a sad guy with shiny gold accents!
