Interesting link. The SF2 woodblock print in particular looks great.

Sadly, no shmups are represented, which is why it's in the Off-Topic forum for now.

The Star Fox one is hilarious

But the Kirby one wins.

nice concepts, stylization is a bit off but pretty well done. though the price is quite high for non-limited prints. i would'nt be surprised it the woodblocks were laser cut rather than hand, also no information regarding what ink and application processes they are using. there's a real lack of information about the exact processes they are using for it to be classed as ukiyo-e.

They ran a very successful Kickstarter for this project just last month.

There's a process videos page on the site.

I want that colouring book so hard.

I don't want to have to find somewhere to print it though, this is the only time I'll ever say this but I wish they had a physical release of it rather than a download.
