Captain Kernel

A 4-color comic panel of a hero with a chip on his chest, flying over a city of server racks, in a black frame that stands on a desk or hangs on a wall.

Up close

The picture is 6.7 × 10.0 in at the frame face, about the size of a hardcover book: small enough for a desk corner, big enough to read the city from across the room.

Four colors, one panel.

The picture is 4 colors of matte PLA laid over one another, black at the back and jade white at the front. Each lighter color covers only part of the one behind it, and where it runs thin the darker color shows through: that is where the shading on his arms and the teal halftone dots come from.

Jade white goes on last: skin, clouds, the chip’s face and the brightest highlights.

On his chest: black outlines, the jade-white chip and the turquoise suit around it.

On a desk or on a wall.

For a desk, a shelf or a wall above a monitor. Fold the easel out of the back and it leans on its own, 4.3 in deep. Fold it flat and the 2 keyholes in the back hang it on two screws, 4.5 in apart.

Back and side, drawn to scale: keyholes for the wall, the easel for the desk.

Good to know

Can I hang it on a wall?

Yes. The back has 2 keyholes, 4.5 in (114 mm) apart, that slip over two screw heads. Fold the easel flat first so the frame sits close to the wall.

What is it made of?

The picture is matte PLA in 4 colors: black, turquoise, sunflower yellow and jade white. The frame, its top bar and the easel are black.

Will the colors look exactly like the photos?

Close, but not exactly. Some shades come from light passing through thin layers of a lighter color over a darker one, so the panel looks a little different under warm or cool light, and from the pictures here.

How big is it?

The frame face is 6.7 × 10.0 in (170 × 254 mm) and 0.9 in deep. Standing on its easel it takes up 6.7 × 4.3 × 10.0 in.

Does it need power or batteries?

No. It is a framed picture with no lights or electronics.
