It was an insane amount of effort to make this stamp and wayy too technical for my first linoleum project but now I have 2 neat modular stamps of my OC, Asha. ^.^

Oh never mind... You did try multiple layers... My bad.
This one is interesting too, even though its more explicit/ representational than the original. Just like your watercolours, you know when to leave parts blank, particularly the highlights of the mane. Also interesting to see the layers mix in the deeper part of the ear.
Also the plate marks surrounding the figure are quite nice too as they create some tension.

Thanks for your kind words but I had little artistic influence in this project since it's from a picture I drew a while back - it's more of a craft thingy - so any artistic flare here is purely coincidential XD !
After having a play, I know how to use the medium better now, so will keep it in my mind as something I can possibly use in the future. I suppose that's one of the reasons why your course is introducing yourself to soo many different mediums too. :3

That may be true, but "happy accidents" are still valid, especially in printmaking where there is very little control over the result depending on the particular process.
My sculpture teacher would often recite a quote by Louis Pasteur:
"...chance favors only the prepared mind."
That's great to hear. Better try something and find it isn't to your liking, than wonder about it without trying.

Oh, cool, I remember I used to do lino back at the art school. I remember it was always nightmare to fit the layers right, and not to mess the borders with color.
Did you do like: you cut out the first layer, print it, and then took out the second layer? It always bothered me that once you take out the lino for second layer there is no way back :D

The method you describe is called "reduction printing". A lot of respect for the folks who do that but it isn't really what I was going for - I wanted to make a stamp which I could use again and again....
I actually made 2 stamps (one for each of the colours) by sizing and printing out templates for each colour before tracing that onto the sheet of linoleum. You can see these templates and the digital design here: http://wildhound.tumblr.com/post/121062098452 . They're to the same scale so that they overlay exactly and those triangles in the corner of the images are to help line up the images - thankfully I don't really have a border to deal with. :3
