Print after 3rd etching

So here's a quick update on the progress I've been making with my print.  So far I have taken my original sketch and done a series of 3 stages of etchings, each stage consisting of 2-4 acid dips to complete the full etch. I have spent a considerable amount of time working up the detail in the dot work to give a sense of shading and texture. From here I will do another 2 or 3 stages of etchings to change the actual shape of the plate as well as bring a little bit more detail into some of the areas that still need it.

Last but not least I am looking to integrate some aquatint into the print to fill out some areas that could use subtle shades of grey.

Below is a little compare and contrast from the initial etch to the current state of the print.
