Last two etchings revisited

The last two etchings re-done - the centipede has turned out really well with all lines showing through just fine. 
The arm and leg however I accidentally left in the acid for too long so a lot more of the copper eroded than I wanted, making the lines really thick and some of the detail getting lost. The speckle effect is really cool looking though, it's just a shame that the others don't have it as well. 
I think I can get away with this plate having the effect though since it is a thematic print rather than a character portrait.
At this point I just need to print the etchings on nice paper and potentially compile them in a box since I'm not keen on binding them into a book.
