Just something I wanted to do

[shaunsheep]

Just something I wanted to do Well this is bit of a therapy as its something I have been doing for over 17 years and I had no other personal projects on the go at the moment so I thought I would give this a go. I know this is not going to be totally accurate but for me its more a learning process, and as my son is a big fan its something he can have. I hope you enjoy the ride, I know I will, yep purposely not named the prop you should get this as I progress size approx A4.

Looks pretty snazzy, but I have no idea what it is from or what you are making it out of. The first picture looks like computer outlining, but the second looks like clay on wax paper? Idk. I'm crazy.

no this is lino I usually use wood but because of the detail the wood I usually use wont take the detail required. Thia is a still from the movie its reversed so I can reproduce it the right way round when printed.

How are you going to handle the text and the rest of the initials?

When I had a printmaking class, I always regretted not trying to make some fictional currency. Done properly, it coulda been real pretty.

Sorry. About the lack of progress but been. On holiday I finally managed to find a similar text to the gothic script and have reproduced the correct. Dimensions and I will be working on this over the week for inserting into the Page soon

As a lover of calligraphy and illuminated manuscripts, I'm ADORING this! It's gorgeous! Are you going to hand color this with pigments, tempera or gouache or anything? You do fantastic work!
