Theseus and the Minotaur comic

Final project for comic class. My twist on the Greek myth of Theseus and the Minotaur. Got a lot more comfortable with inking on this one. Enjoying it more, which is a big step for me. :) (didn't really like ink before, got really frustrated with it).








and because I am a process nut, here is a pencil page.

monster print update

etching

Did a lot more work on this thing since last update. Printed the middle plate which already had background texture on it (used the back of an old plate from last year). So added some textures to backgrounds of other two plates. Did some experimenting with splattering mineral spirits. :)  Also used some sandpaper.

This is what the prints looked like before scraping the plates with sandpaper. Too clean for what I wanted.
