A Lot Of 50s Pulp Art Is Like Actually Fucking Crazy To Look At

Art from Kumari Loves a Monster by Rashmi Devadasan. Illustrated by Shyam. 

“The young maidens in these pages all have beauty, brains and talent / They while away the night and day / With monsters fierce and gallant.

 A romantic picture book of young girls who have fallen in love with monsters.”

ART SCHOOL PORTFOLIO (Calarts, Artcenter, RISD, SVA)

art school portfolio I made from 2023-2024; 40ish pages of pieces in one big pdf with commentary, my demo reel, and my storyboard pitch :] I

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!

Hey, here's the full set of the brand new Disco Elysium pics!

Prints are available, and maybe these work well in poster format (which inprnt started doing a while ago)?

I'm sad I didn't get to draw any cars, would be nice to do 1 more, but I need to move on... Also, there has been a promo on all summer at inprnt that might end soon, so these are at 35% off right now!

all I do is make content that applies to me eat hot chip and lie. everyone goes ninja mode
