Hexagonal Geomorph II
Here is another of the catacomb geomorphs. I thickened the walls a bit. I was initially thinking of keeping things as simple as possible and saving ink for those of you printing at home, but I added a gradient to try and give the solid stone some heft. I don't know how this gradient will screenprint, I do have pretty fine screen. I'll have to see.
I don't know, looking at it as I post the pic, the gradient looks awful "computery," too clean and regular. I wish I could get some kind of spatter going. Why does it seem like this would be so much easier by hand?

Yeah, I've had struggles myself with trying to get speckled/dotted shading in Inkscape instead of gradients. I haven't come up with a set procedure yet, but I usually export the bitmap from Inkscape, import that into the GIMP, and then apply effects like posterize or various forms of noise followed by threshold.
ReplyDeleteThanks Talysman, I get frustrated learning new tools and it's nice to know others are out there using the tools too.
