(11/11!)
reaper, reaper in the halls, why'd you hold your scythe like that
[ID: Two digital drawings of kingdom hearts character Marluxia in his organization 13 coat. the background are light blue, and the colors are washed-out.
In the first image, he is shown half-squating in a wide stance, an arm bent in front of his body, and the other slightly extended as he swings his scythe, Graceful Dahlia, with a firm grip in the lowest third of its' snath. he looks behind himself with a placid smile, hair flaring up with movement.
The second image is a close-up of his face. /End ID.]

Caught in the golden hour, Zabriskie Point reveals its mesmerizing layers and contours. The warm sunlight blankets the rolling hills, contrasting beautifully against the rugged mountains in the distance.

Forever mourning that PZH LOSH never went into Thawne's Earthgov regime which considering the placement and known canon of pre-United Planets was entrenched in xenophobia and was pretty authoritarian in nature. I also wonder how much of that regime stuck around while Lyle was a spy for Earthgov. Like...
I got questions. In the course of less than 13 years Earth went from exceedingly xenophobic and anti-unification, where citizens were performing lynches in the streets, to a heavily diverse and thriving, mostly peaceful populace and headquarters of the U.P. in the first place.

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!
