powder toy

The Powder toy, you can see it at the top.

Well, best to look directly at their work. There is a reason they are famous, and considered geniuses. Even though they are no longer alive to tell us, they left their work behind for us to study - studying the brilliant work left behind is enough to keep an artist busy for several lifetimes. Start making art every day, and every night go look at engravings, study how they make little lines and dots come alive and shine - that is what I try to do.

who cares

given the nature of annoyance, anyone who agrees would care, and perhaps find a comical comfort in my comment.

Taste Sking its a little girl for fuck's sake

you are probably a little girl too, and you are annoying as fk.

That's voiceist

Yes it is, although I don't think he did his own. His publisher may have hired trade engravers to render artists' existing illustrations as wood engravings to be produced in books.

+Saberhap This itself was a rather space inefficient design, and I have since managed to build more compact ones with similar firepower. Here is a tip though- do not build a long high gauge barrel entirely out of motor blocks because the recoil can be enough to teleport a ship many millions of kilometers in one shot!

Daniel Duncombe Isn't that a "jump-drive"? That would be cool way to travel.

I suppose it is- the direction you move in though is unpredictable enough to stop it from being useful.

+Szymon Bartosiewicz (Simon) ...wait. this is the Powder Toy. Ever since I downloaded it, I instantly got addicted.

+Szymon Bartosiewicz (Simon) Not entirely sure what you are saying, but if it is indeed a compliment then thanks :) If not then... yes.

What is your native language?

English

Ok...

+LemonHeroman YOU DON'T HAVE A NOSE ;.;

+Saberhap D-:

+The Rebelattack With my newer version, the projectile was slower so it has a high chance of missing. Because of this I simply use a timed fuse to blow it up near the target in the probable case of it missing. It actually misses so often I don't think a pen fuse would be worth it.

Daniel Duncombe That is too bad then I made a 1200 millimeter cannon that could pen at least 5 thick and then would explode which is devastating for almost any ship :)

+Enze Jansen Yes, 2000mm. However, some things have changed since this video. The shells do a lot more HE damage, however they move much much slower, like the old custom cannons, at somewhere around 200m/s. This makes them great for artillery and such. Also, because they do more damage the longer they charge up, longer reload times can actually be good. This means the CRAM cannons will be better for big slow firing battleship guns, and the advanced cannons will be better for more rapid fire, lower damage guns.

+Nachtigall It was quite amusing when I first fired the cannon after building it... didn't expect that recoil! I have also experimented with the autoloaders a bit more so I made a more compact version of this with similar power. I just need to test the recoil effects when mounted on something like a bulwark now :)

+joshua gorey Though it is possible, she has never tried it. There are other artists however who do, with lino cut, but she does not know any who do it with wood engraving.

+Daniel Duncombe thanks for replying any artist that you know that has done this, it will be the best help tks again

It is often done using 2 blocks and a frame or key. Here's the process more or less: th-cam.com/video/7VjLRB0H834/w-d-xo.html - it is not too complicated. You can of course ink a single block very carefully by hand in more than one color and then print, but in my experience I usually make a bit of a mess :-) The big printing presses have an inking plate for faster printing of large quantities. On those you can carefully apply multiple colors to different areas of the inking plate, which is then applied to the block between each print- it is a bit of a challenge to do well but I've seen it done.

Abced Defs Thanks for the recommendation, I will look into it!

Thankyou!

Thankyou for that, I will tell her shortly :)

Thanks! I'll tell her!
