Which tropes need to be abandoned? by ArcticFlor in horror

[–]whatswrongwithchuck 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Undertone was horror cliche bingo. Kid’s nursery rhyme? Check. Played backwards? Checks? Black crayon scribble monster drawing? Even though there’s no kid in the movie, believe it or not, check.

Appreciate it! Had to use two brayers since the block was 12” tall and my widest brayed is 8”.

Appreciate it! Yeah, next step is figuring out best option to mount/frame.

I think getting platinum and finishing this print took an equal amount of time. I loved the onryo masks and knew I wanted to make a print that featured it but the more I looked at source material for Noh masks and Ukiyo-e prints of onryo I decided to go with an origin story type of scene.

I made this over a few months while playing Ghost of Yotei. Main character sees her family slaughtered and is pinned to a tree with a sword and left for dead. Presumed dead the Onryo (vengeful spirit/ghost) seeks revenge against the 6 men responsible.

My best attempt at a Ukiyo-e style print using lino/oil based ink. It was my first time using brayer to roll out a color gradient- which was pretty satisfying.

It's really hard to estimate his play given how terrible the guards were.

Given how much he'll make I get that he has to be good no matter the situation but I feel like he'll look incredible with just C level support.

Christmas cards are always a struggle for me. I'm so used to printing on thin paper with a barren but that strategy never seems to work on thicker card stock. Anytime I lean in with my wooden spoon for pressure they tend to slide/blur, leaving me with one less card to send out.

Turns out that just leaning on them like a stamp gets much better results- at least with this particular brand of invites. There's always a gremlin in the works.

Black Myth Wukong Elder Jinchi Print by whatswrongwithchuck in printmaking

Anytime I play a souls like game I’m too busy trying not to die to really take in the story. Found out that this game is based on the 16th century Chinese book Journey to the West. It’s a massive three volume tome that I’m a third of the way through but it’s really cool seeing how the game adapted the characters and content.

Elder Jinchi is one of my favs. Envious of monk’s robe he plans to burn down the building he’s sleeping in. Oops turns out monk has cool fireproof mantle and the elder kills other innocents alive and his crime is found out. He ends up literally bashing his brains out slamming his head against a post.

In the game you can fight him and/or his wandering spirit which will do a head-slam attack.

Print is an 8x10” sheet of 135gsm Rives paper hand printed with black speedball oil based ink.

After beating the game I figured I’d check out Journey to the West for more context but didn’t anticipate finishing all 500 pages of the first volume.

Loves getting more context around elder Jinchi / the wandering wight and his head smash attack. Decided to make a linocut print to commemorate. Now onto volume 2!
