Hands are technically visible, so I guess fits the theme! Been practicing copying some old woodcuts - There's something extremely interesting about how things were rendered back in the day. Of course, you've got masters like Durer who aspired to realism and kick tremendous amounts of rear end, but in other works the bizarre abstractions in the attempts to replicate the appearance of familiar things is weird and fun to try to understand.

Plus, just from an inking point of view they are tremendously useful. The line weight and where they choose to put their darks, and the balances between positive and negative space were masterful.

Nice work. Done anything in that same woodcut style but original?

heeheehee

Here's the original. I'm brainstorming/sketching ideas for the other side, but want to get even closer to that oldschool woodcut feel, hence the practice.

Looking awesome! Can we get a shot of the knight and skeleton by the fire? That one's adorable :3:

Sure, that one's an oldie but a goodie.

Here's what I'm scratching out at the moment, still trying to figure out the best composition, then I'll have to come back and greatly simplify things once that's established, and there's lots of tweaking on just about everything that still needs doing, but overall am very happy with how it's progressing.



Edit oh god there's so many problems with that sleeve I loving love/hate fabric.
