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!

cw. i'm horny again, fem! reader, rough tit sucking
it's just tits, tits, tits, wriothesley cannot even fathom being without them or you not allowing him to play with your breasts in the first place whenever he was a little too mean to you.
ugh, you need to understand him, okay? but wriothesley just needs them in his mouth, all the time, day and night, just look at him, it's the only thing he thinks about so let him be, pretty please!
just let your tits be pushed inside his warm mouth so you feel like something is embracing your heart with a swelling trace, the plump flesh spilling over as he massages the mounds before drawing one inside of his warmth, swiftly lapping the tip of his tongue back and forth with kitty licks— slick, slick, slick, it's always so messy that you're honestly a little embarrassed.
yet, now, it's quick-witted when wriothesley hollows his cheeks so tightly to pull back all the bundled air from his lungs— his drool filthily hanging loose all around his chin and oozing on the carpet before you sob uncontrollably and rub your clothed cunt against his fat, muscular thigh, toss your head back due to the stinging pain on your nipples being practically tugged apart by the man, the myth, the legend, your sweet boyfriend wriothesley. <3

ok but that kid Mobius couldn’t prune was Loki right. like, that was Loki right. The brothers at the dock. That was Loki and Thor right. It was Loki
Mobius couldn’t kill Loki, chose his burden, and dedicated his life to him instead.
Mobius’s story started and ended with Loki. It had to be Loki.
