other reasons printing was HARD ↓↓ 🌟 colors! you’ll notice that issue 1 colors are flat, and once we get to issues 2, 3, etc. the colors have gradients, they’re more dynamic and selective with certain parts of the art, etc. figuring out how to print colors on THOUSANDS of different files was a crazy challenge. 🌟 getting the files just right! we used a super high res for each cover, so when we first exported the PDF file and sent it to our printer, it was so big we maximized the size of what a PDF file could be 😭 🌟 convincing the printers! shoutout to our printing partners, they were awesome to go along with this. the way we framed it is we want to push the bounds of art and technology, and when they saw it that way, they were down to join the journey. our comics are available in our shop!! discover your 1:1 of cover today. link in bio 💫 👉 sup.shop 👈 • • • #art #manga #artistsoninstagram #artist #comicart #hyperpress #characterdesign #digitalart #digitalart #digitalillustration #digitalprinting #characterillustration #anime #animeart #animeillustration #fantasy #booktok

5 things i wish i knew before going to tokyo comic con 🫠 1. you’re gonna be STARVING. socializing all day with no food is gonna zap the social battery outta you. they have a bunch of food trucks outside, go take breaks and stop working so hard >:( ✨ 2. The light up background is gonna pay off! It attracted a lot of people and some people even took pictures of it even though they had no idea who we were 😭 🌸 3. Share some gifts with your neighbors and have a chat! You never know where that connection may lead to… (incoming story time comic soon 👀) 💻 4. Bring a QR Code lil poster block with you IG handle on it, and bring a WiFI router! People may not be ready to buy a comic, but they’ll be ready to follow you, but sometimes conventions have really bad wi-fi. So try to make it easy for them to press follow with the QR code and the router 🌟 🤍 5. Have a shop website set up before going 😭 So many people wanted to support us directly but at the time we only sold our comic thru third party sites so we only got a % of the proceeds. But now.. our shop is LIVE! 😏 👉 sup.shop ✨ buy our comic! 👉 blit.net ✨continue the story in our game! and now we can officially say…. link in bio 😏 • • • #art #blitmap #artistsoninstagram #artist #hyperpress #manga #comicart #characterdesign #mangaart #comicart #digitalillustration #comics #comiccon #tokyocomiccon #manga #comicartist

a beautiful fan artist cover created by @tinystar20_ ✨ we’re so excited to share this stunning cover fan art we love this on our leading girls cici and liz 🤍 there is NO copyright on the characters in the blitmap comic! the characters and the world are CC0, which means there’s no copyright - it belongs to the public domain straight from the start. we hope that doing this will inspire other creative works like this cover art to emerge, and we believe there’s something powerful in giving artists the creative freedom to use these characters and worlds freely as they wish 🪐 here’s some more information about @tinystar20_ 🌟 💫 hiya, I’m tinystar or star , ever since I began my art account , thats been the main theme, I am a small star in a big universe with big dreams. I have a degree in illustration, and have always loved the idea of sharing the arts with everyone because that’s what brings people together.that’s what I want to do, bring people together. 🎨 I started my business in 2020 and since I’ve made very good progress ! I make everything by hand and use local print shops to help out, im planing to eventually go international and attend cons and artist alleys 🌈 my art style is very bright, very saturated with plenty of contrasts, my biggest inspiration was the art nouveau artstyle when I first developed my way of work 🗡️ I wanted to make the cover one of my favorite panels in comic and I loved the sense of challenge between liz and cici and wanted fo show that ❤️ other artists that inspired me are loish of course, my mom, my biggest influence as a child, and too many to name honestly you can find @tinystar20_ ‘s fanart cover inside of blitmap issue 6, along with other amazing fanart from some of our creative readers! to get issue 6 (or any of our comics), our shop is now LIVE!

its our final issue… and with that, let’s #meettheartist of our final cover art @tulipyumi96 🌷 💫 @tulipyumi96 was the cover artist for the first issue in our blitmap series (it’s our pfp!) so we thought it was fitting that she is one of the cover artists for the final issue. a full circle moment :’! 🌎 like all the previous issues, no 2 covers are alike. no one in the world will have the same cover as you. 🛠️ to make this happen, @tulipyumi96 and a team of our engineers and designers invented a process called Hyperpress ™️ which prints a one-of-a-kind cover on every single copy. 🤍 @tulipyumi96 has been our art director for 2 years, where she has led the art direction for the comic as well as many of our other projects (which we are excited to share more soon! stay tuned 👀) 💥blitmap issue 6 in stores now! link in bio • • • #art #artist #artistsoninstagram #comic #comicbooks #comicart #comics #manga #mangaart #mangadrawing #digitalart #digitaldrawing #digitalillustration #characterdesign #characterart #characterillustration #blitmap #blitmapcomic #hyperpress

A selection of variants for my cover for the final Blitmap Issue 6! This composition is 1 of 3 different variants with two of the main characters, Liz and Cici. There’s additionally over 20 hand drawn traits for the bg and characters, and hundreds of programmatically applied colorways which are selected and combined together to make thousands of unique cover variants. This is a process we developed called Hyperpress which allows us to make every single printed copy of this comic unique⚡️
