As hard a time as I had inking the Ood the other night, this inked easily.

Rather than try to explain what a Vashta Nerada is, here is an explanation from Doctor Who Wiki:

"The Vashta Nerada were microscopic beings that lived in swarms, thousands strong. These swarms were able to strip a creature to its bare bones in milliseconds and the Doctor once described them as "piranhas of the air".

For some reason, this was ridiculously hard to ink. It is a limited edition of 15.

This is another Doctor Who creature, a Silurian.

Tonight I was in the mood to try something completely different. A person. I'm actually pretty happy with the result.

CYBERMAN

This evening I did a full body Cyberman. I am happy with the results, overall, considering it was a lot of detail, and not a lot of space to do it in, as I am keeping these to the ACEO size of 2.5" x 3.5".

Not Iron Man, but a Cyberman, another nemesis of Doctor Who.

The Daleks are Doctor Who's prime nemesis. I've decided to do a series of the iconic Doctor Who images. Next up may be another Tardis, or a Cyberman.

A friend asked how the lino prints are done:

Step 1. Draw out the image.
I draw it in pencil, and then ink it. To better define the drawing.


Step 2. Carve out the image.
I use Speedball cutters.


Step 3. Ink it.
I didn't take pictures of the inking process, but here are the tools I use:


I started doing the prints using Cold Press water paper I had laying around. I'm going to use Hot Press paper exclusively from now on. It takes the ink much better. I also feel I've got a much better grasp on printing evenly.
