Thumbscrews - Revisited

I've decided to revisit the thumbscrews image, because I really want to make it work and I don't want to quit on it.
The other cuts have proved that I can do it if I stick at it and get the initial sketch right.
I started by trying to redraw the same old image I'd been using before, but figured it might work better if I change up the angles a bit.

Sketching it out on an angle, I came up with the final design and transferred it onto the lino.
Cutting after that went surprisingly well, and I finally felt as though I was getting somewhere.
I did find some of the angles challenging, but used a ruler to help me achieve the really clean straight lines.
I'm hoping that adding the sense of depth and three dimensionality to the image will ensure it fits in with the others.

Overall I'm miles happier with the outcome, although it was a loooong process getting to this point.
