[mictron]

zowie!

[Anville]

Here is some of the printing in the final stages. Print release later today @ anville.net if you wanna cop one.

Final print run is 40 reg, 20 variants.


Here is a closeup of one of the variants to show the colors before keyline.


Rack em up.





Fresh off the press, ink still wet.


Here is the final print held by the mighty James Beard of Lady Lazarus. As you can see, Isaac clearly knocked this print out of the park. I was a little concerned about the blue mixing with the yellow to make the green, but I am convinced it looks better than the colors I picked in PS. This print would not be what it is without Isaac's skill, he brings the A game everytime.


Moonlight Super Sparkle Ultra Limited Foil Edition!!! 5 exist.


Will be posting a few more pics later today.

Animation showing all 5 colors.



A magician shouldent reveal all of his tricks, but when you use transparency then bitmap @ 600 diffusion dither, your films look like this:



...which if used correctly can make a print look softer, rather than blocking in areas of solid color, even though I do that in some areas as needed.

Isaac snapped these pics, gonna go ahead and let them speak for themselves...











next up... the final print...

What mesh count do you use for diffusion dithering? The highest I currently have is 305 but those dots look too fine for even that and I've been wanting to try dithering for ages. Great process thread, by the way! Beautiful image and very impressive print job.
