Wanted to mess around with manual color separation again and drew four panels for each color on the same sheet of paper without paying anal-retentive attention to placement. This seems pretty trippy.

The outline of the scene and the eyes.
My career has been in print, mainly newspaper -- and when you work with offset printing (yes, it still exists), you ONLY want the black plate to have anything on it. It's not a true black -- put "100" in the "K" section in Photoshop/Illustrator/InDesign and you'll see it's actually more of a grey. But it's print black, and in all my experience (including at my current job), if you use RGB black and convert it to CMYK (which is 60 - 90% on each color, depending on what program you use to convert) , the printer will disembowel you.
This lead to a running joke when I worked at the newspaper, about digital versus print and the validity of either. Don't get a bunch of newspaper production people drunk and then have them talk shop; it leads to incredibly weird conversations about stuff like that.

Side effect from doing this on the same page within five minutes - the outline and eyes are really just there to help my brain figure out relative spacing where everything was supposed to go. Seeing as how this is more of a reintegration process rather than separating from an already unified source, I actually think that doing it correctly came out a bit boring: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4850280 vs http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4842711
I have no experience with vinyl printing or CMYK on shirts, but for CMYK offset print, adding CMY to a K line just comes out awful
If you have a big expanse of K, you can add C, M & Y, but that tends to make the black look grayish-brown (how bad depends on type of printing ink and choice of paper); K + a bit of C gives the best rich black in either case
