This is one of two banners from a double-page spread of sketches in the middle of a satirical (i expect) article about Un Anglais En Voyage.

A 1680s book i apparently bought for $60 years ago... about horrid people like atheists, popes, apostates, tyrants, sailors and more. Here, a pope makes a king stand barefoot in the snow for 3 days, along with his wife and son. In the end the pope’s mistress interceded.

And another one new! 📰

I've rename "Dima stand 🧍‍♂️" on "Dima wants crisps 🍟".

And now this means that Dima now hasn't a plan to stands only 🙂. He also want now to walk, jump, and do more actions! 😎

The repository now available by this new link 👉 https://codeberg.org/xolatgames/Dima-wants-crisps

The workflow i use might be interesting -
scan with xsane on Linux at 16 bits per channel/2400dpi (professional scanner). Usually greyscale though.

Then to #GIMP and clean up then resize for Alamy stock & for Web.

Wonder if there’d be interest in videos about the clean-up process?

Engraving of 2 lions, and detail.

This is another engraving from the books with awesome covers, vol 1 this time. Orig. painting by Paul Friedrich Meyerheim (1842 – 1915).

Hi folks! ✌️

Here's a little update of my game about Dima who doesn't just stand now, but also can jumps and walks 🏃‍♂️

In this update I've remove that "dumb" background, and change it on a normal one.

And also I've fix the hairs of Dima 💇‍♂️

From the book with the fab cover but not an engraving - an early use of a dot screen for fine art work. The largest sizes will print well in black and white, but test carefully for possible moiré patterns.

An article about a book of German poetry which used this drop cap.

If you use GIMP from the Microsoft Store, settings, plug-ins, & other add-ons are lost when you upgrade.

The latest update will fix this, but needs a recent Windows 11.

If you’re on an older version of Windows you can still install from gimp.org. Follow the steps in this post to copy your setting the first time you switch.
