I achieved some strong tonal contrast with these and this has made the etchings pop. They now feel more like etchings and less like sketches. The dark edges around the first one is what helped this whereas the dark suit of the second already had achieved this.
Update with last two characters:
Pleased with these ones too but unfortunately I didn't put enough etching ground on the copper plates so a lot of the plate accidentally got eroded around the edges when I put it in the acid bath. This looks cool and the messy aesthetic works but it's just a shame that the first two don't have this - although I could potentially try and leave a bit more ink around the edges of the first two so that they match a bit better
