Redd Oktober

Recommended Posts

Arrr...The wait be over, sez I! Here be an example o' what the finished art can look like. Seein' as ol' Redd is an 18th century salt, the look be more like a steel etching. However, if ye be an older pyrate, I can make it look like a woodcut as well.

The writing can be anythin' ye be wanting.

Let me know what ye think!

The sample you posted, is that an example of woodcut or steel print?

I have seen woodcuts, but to my knowledge have never seen a steel print. What are the differences?

BTW: 'tis a fine piece o' artwork, indeed!

Rumors of my death were right on the money.

The style in me example be closer to a steel plate print (17th-18th century pirate). A wooden print would be chunkier in look and line width (14th-15th century pirates). A woodblock print that you could use for reference is vlad the impaler's famous portraits. They had artists who worked in woodblocks who could fashion elaborate prints...but the average artist's work was slightly crude and chunky. But it is authentic.

Hope that helps.

Aye, that helps. As much as I am a fan o' Albrecht Durer, I 'ave ta say the steel print design suits me fancy a mite more.

Let me see how some of the pictures from Ojai come out, Redd dear. We'll have kawfee an' talk....because I know that "attempting to steal the Governor's wig" is one of the offenses I've committed (and might I add have 'evidence' of!)! :ph34r:
