This just popped out of nowhere. To be honest I had some time off and decided to do a piece and finish to as polished a level as I could achieve with an eye towards building a portfolio. I worked on the first piece for about a day. At the end of that I just took a break to doodle. If was a value piece.
The next day I continued working on it and got it finished in a surprising short time. It was a real texture fest. This is a real step up for me, which is great but now the bar is higher...............
