I'm still making gradual progress on this little gift/project. I'll be honest, there's a few things that make me raise an eyebrow and I can't put my finger on it.
But to be blunt, I've more than once ran out of steam with this piece. More ideas to continue this as more than just a loop, and so much sketching and other drafts that I put time into are sorta wasted because I decided to cut my losses. Biting off more than I can chew because I wanted to go 'all out.' But really I already have enough on my plate in general and I wanted to make smaller art projects. I tend to get myself wrapped up in my own ideas and make them huge.
Regardless, I will finish this eventually. :)
