Comment:
Intaglio plate number three ahoy~
Our second project was to have two processes on a plate, so instead of doing plates two and three in sequential order, I went backwards. XD I ended up doing this one after project three just because my ambition with that second plate went sky high.

Not long before the project I sketched out one of my newer characters but I couldn't decide if I wanted to etch her into a plate or just color it with mixed media. Intaglio frickin' won. I'm actually really glad I went that route as it reminds me of an old style Asian print. I'm thinking of maybe doing another plate like this but only of Raikage~
