Over the weekend I have come up with a couple more ideas for pamhlets/drawings/prints. To get across the wide range of 100 weapons and other researched equipment I have accumulated, I will make several detailed pages of numerous objects. Drawing 5 or so a day, around my other work, I should be able to generate a simple design in the etched style for each object which I think would look really impressive in large groups. It could hopefully be a balance of quantity and quality, rather than a compromise, and illustrate my work in a really accessible way.
The guns below show the most elaborate pistols in the game, based on real weapons, in the etched style.
I have also made a start on the into sequence and have now worked out the order and content for the storyboards. They are however too extensive to do every scene in high detail, though I could draw each one simply if we feel its worth the time in the next tutorial. I have decided I could make a several-page pamphlet to inform the public on the events of the plot; news being a major topic for these publications.
I started with an interesting engraving I found online which shows two of the plotters inspecting their work in the cellars beneath the house of commons. There is a relatively famous poem written at the time and I could add the text beneath several images of the plot, trial and execution.
