Something I try to keep in mind when making art that looks vintage is keeping a limited color pallette. Digital art gives you a very wide, Crisp scope of colors, whereas traditional art-- especially older traditional art-- had a very limited and sometimes dulled use of color.

This is a modern riso ink swatch, but still you find a similar and limited selection of colors to mix with. (Mixing digitally as to emulate the layering of ink riso would be coloring on Multiply, and layering on top of eachother 👉)

If you find some old prints, take a closer look and see if you can tell what colors they used and which ones they layered... a lot of the time you'll find yellow as a base!

Misprints can really reveal what colors were used and where, I love misprints...

Something else I keep in the back of my mind is: how the human eye perceives color on paper vs. a screen. Ink and paint soaks into paper, it bleeds, stains, fades over time, smears, ect... the history of a piece can show in physical wear. What kind of history do you want to emulate? Misprinted? Stained? Kept as clean as possible, but unable to escape the bluing damages of the sun? It's one of my favorite things about making vintage art. Making it imperfect!

You can see the bleed, the wobble of the lines on the rug, the fading, the dirt... beautiful!!

Thinking in terms of traditional-method art while drawing digital can help open avenues to achieving that genuine, vintage look!

VNC: Virtual Nightclub (1997)

The opening to VNC: Virtual Nightclub, a very obscure game about touring a futuristic virtual club that barely made it to store shelves even with millions poured into its development over the course of four years. Based on the emerging rave, hip-hop, and cyber cultures, it involved well-known icons like Def Jam Records, Herbie Hancock, Warp Records, Neal Stephenson, PM Dawn, Terence McKenna, etc. They also had deals to include interactive advertising for Levis, Dr Martens, Stella Artois and Lynx in the game as well. 

The developer, Philips Interactive Media, basically went bust just as they were printing the final copies of the game to ship. It was picked up by a company called Thumb Candy, and 20,000 copies were marketed and sold via the Sci-Fi Channel and various internet sites (though I can’t find any trace of this). There are quite a few ISOs of the full retail version game available online, though it seems that people are having trouble getting them to run on newer versions of Windows. Thanks to the Lost Media Wiki, we also have scans of the manual!
