Meet Moth Wizard! I am taking a break from fan art this time to do a quick original-ish character. I am pretty sure I have seen a similar idea somewhere.

The white blocky erasers are a little longer than the standard pink ones. It’s nice that they don’t have the skew on the z-axis. They carve pretty much the same.

I have been experimenting with different techniques for transferring the designs. For this one, I transferred a laser print to the bare eraser with acetone, then colored over it with a broad yellow Sharpie (to get a contrast with the white eraser to make what has been carved more visible).

A rectangular piece of white paper imprinted with an anthropomorphized, cartoonish moth character with five four-pointed stars in various sizes above its head. The wings look like a cloak around a very simple body. The face is white with two black spots for eyes. There are feathered antennae atop the head. The blocky white carved eraser that made the impression is laying face-up on the upper left corner of the print. Both are on a background of deep blue paper with a single metallic silver leaf inclusion.
