Description
The outer area with the text is woodcut, the images in the center are silk screened.

This was done for class last semester. It's 26" x 48", the longest size that I could fit through the press at SIUC. It's much more imposing in person. Maybe someday I'll get some decent photos of my prints.

Inspired by the Protoman, again. I guess I just enjoy the propaganda quality of their imagery and that I can intentionally go for a gritty, vintage feel when so much of the art I do needs to be pristine.

I don't like the graphical quality of the armcannon, even though I toiled over it for a couple days. If it were rougher and didn't have that animated feel to it I'd be happy. Maybe over break I'll go back and carve the rest of this block out and do away with the silk screen aspect entirely. I do enjoy how the hand turned out, though. It would be a shame if I can't achieve the same effect without screen printing. Maybe screen print the colors of both images and then print the black of the armcannon and a black outline for the hand over them?

UPDATE 4/09:
All of these were sold through the Protomen at Anime Punch and whatever that con in Cave City, KY was last months. Thanks to all the lucky suckers who supported me and the band.
