Future woodcuts
I think I'm finally done babysitting the laser and so I had time to get these done today. Once my new tape comes in in a week or so the process will become even faster!

Luna/Celestia woodcut blueprints
Hoping to have time to get a first set of these cut tomorrow, but we shall see.
Larger woodcut
It took 8 hours of engraving and no small amount of fiddling with settings, but here she is, a larger etched piece.
Woodcut image and attempts
I spent a great deal of my day trying to make the image above work in the laser's ancient and unsupportable software. What came out is not what I intended (it took the laser three hours to cut it and it is quite small) but hopefully tomorrow's attempt is more successful.

Passing off the collaboration
Here's my part for a shadowbox collaboration. I'll be sure to update when the shadowbox itself is done.
Canyon Willow
Finally done with this piece! A 'fall in texas' theme gone awry. It didn't turn out quite as I'd like, but that's art for you.
Samurai Twilight 10

Panel the last
Should be able to get text in them all and do some final touches tomorrow.
Engraved woodcut
I have an engraving laser! After several days of repair, troubleshooting, setup and bad Chinese software it is finally in working order. Pictured here is the first complete not burning a hole in the wood image from the laser and also a test of precision. Future images will have thicker lines...

Japan in the spring
And the winner is... so far its a mix of seasonal and national and what better nation to start with than the one for samurai twi.

Gilda - A little hope
Its a bit rough around the edges but I'm exploring a different way of rendering and putting things together. Its a little faster and if I can explore some more complex compositions in the future it should work out well.
New Goal Reached! and voting.
Woo! We're at the $200 mark. This means that Samurai Twilight will now update twice a month instead of just monthly. It also means that there will be a new livestream in addition to the weekly 'just working' stream.
This livestream will include time for tutorials/demonstration on art an...
