While sitting at home, not feeling well I began to carve a block of wood and then proceeded to pick up a roller and water-based ink to experiment in my bedroom. I doubt I'll use water-based ink again, but I quite enjoy hand printing. The wood grain in the background was a happy accident, I love it. I'm pretty pleased with this for completing it start to finish in less than 18 hours. There are 8 of these.
This is my final version of the beast, done in oils. Entirely done in 6 colours, woo. The colour of the left side is a bit off due to a glare, so ignore that.
