I think it took me about an hour and a half to prepare the zinc plates, two hours to draw into the varnish on the plates, a further two hours tending to the plates during the etching process (they only lay in the tub for around nine minutes, but different approaches were used for each plate), and finally fifteen minutes for preparing the paper and the press, and inking it correctly and finally printing it.

It's a very small story actually; a group of soldiers heading into ruins held by some well prepared gits, and the outcome is seen in the last pic.

I like doing series.

BTW, it seems that you used some other techniques than just dry needle, or am I incorrect? Can you tell more?

Didn't use dry needle at all, actually. It's a pretty standard line etching: the plate is coated with a layer of varnish, into which is drawn with a sharp object to uncover the surface of the plate again. Once drawn, the plate is dunked into a bowl with diluted acid, where the uncovered areas of the plate are slightly hollowed out, whereas the areas covered by the varnish are unaffected. The actual outcome of the etch is mostly determined by this etching process; for instance in the first one, I let the acid work for around four minutes, then covered everything except the soldiers with another layer of varnish, then lay it back for another five minutes - this is why the soldiers are much darker than the environment, as their lines have been hollowed out a bit more.

Very nice. I'm not familiar with this technique, but none the less, great work. Really like the use of shadows on the second one.

Everytime I see somethink like this, I always go like "bohoo" for the lack of my own skill...

Hey, at least you can draw. I'm useless at art.

Yes, I know how it's done, but there are several techniques in etching, droge naald, suikerwater, harskorrels etc. I thought I recognized the first.
