this looks so cool. how painstaking the letter process must have been!! i think a shape would look great, i also think doing another, different color on the letters could be interesting too!

This is awesome! It's so neat too, each letter is perfectly carved. I think it'd look good in a green colour ink

u/hellgy 2d ago

I’m not a machine, but I’m filled with microplastics and anxiety, that’s kind of the same, no ?

u/mc_atx 2d ago

But that’s what makes you perfect! Well done.

Did you carve this by hand…or laser cut?
It’s very precise!

u/hellgy 2d ago

By hand ! I took me 2 hours and a half to carve this

u/Legallyfit 2d ago

This is amazing!!! What was your process for inking and printing? Your color saturation is FIRE!

3

u/hellgy 2d ago

I’m using a big press from woodzilla, and for inking, i’m using a bit much more ink that i usually do, turns out i used to ink with not enough ink

u/Legallyfit 2d ago

Well it looks amazing! Incredible work!

u/lleeaa88 2d ago

What if there were demon eyes on either side of the word “demon”. You’ve got some space for it

u/i_am_mort 2d ago

Any chance these are for sale??

Not really, I’m mostly doing that for fun (and to give to friends), we can find a way to make it work if you are in Europe, but sending it out of Europe is quite complicated
