If you're willing to put in a little effort this could make a very nice framed display piece. Just print it out on some aged paper and then hand tint the design elements as you see fit. I was able to get some really nice results using colored pencils, particularly with the degree markings. If you lightly fill in each block with red or brown and then edge shade it you get a very cool looking effect. I'd love to see what you come up with.
If you like this sort of thing I have dozens of other designs I can post. All I ask is that you provide credit and don't sell anything incorporating it, in line with the Creative Commons license for everything here on Propnomicon.
Very nice piece of work! I especially like the font and the use you use of it.
ReplyDeleteDo you have more? And What is the name of that Font?
Yes the first few films were watchable, but Clive Barker has never been too worried about making sense. Keep in mind Barker only wrote the first film, but that rather cuts him out of the creation of the back story on the Cenobites and Pinhead in the third film. But at least he had more plot than Steven “The Aliens Did It” King. For the ultimate in nonsense matchup, try Steven King and Peter Straub’s The Talisman. It is remarkable as being the only book I ever threw out of a window in disgust after a brief read and that’s saying a lot.
ReplyDeleteThe puzzle box is the best thing out of the Hellraiser franchise and it reminds me of a slightly earlier film, Fantasm (1979 American) with that flying ball with spikes. It was short on common sense, but it was a classic schlock horror film. Hey, it had dwarf zombies, an undertaker, gateways to other worlds, and a big metallic ball (with retractable spikes that looked like an old canopener) that killed people – perfect for the drive-in crowd.
Ooooh! That's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try my hand at wood burning with this. It would look amazing on a jewelry box.

ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words. I've actually been trying to figure out which font it is myself. I used Glyphis for another version of that same design, but I can't ID this one. Mind you, this was something I did over ten years ago. I have a feeling it was a conlang font.
@ CoastConFan
Phantasm is one of my favorite movies, based solely on the sheer insanity of the premise. Creating a race of dwarf slaves using gravitationally compressed dead bodies? That's pure pulpy goodness.
If there's ever a question of "Do you want me to post more?" the answer is always "Yes!"
ReplyDeleteLove this. Any chance of posting your colored version?
ReplyDeleteWould love to see more of your work in this realm.
Ditto on Phantasm - I think it's one of the only films that captures the type of dreams I had growing up as a kid!
I believe I actually own four of your folio pages. I bought them off a DM friend of mine when he was liquidating his collection. They are currently hung in my bedroom. Fantastic pieces.
ReplyDeletePlease post more of your designs. These are wonderful! I'm considering printing some onto canvas to be used for (personal) interior design.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks! :)
