The whole planning process was actually fun, drawing it out and thinking of different techniques that I wanted to try. The only thing that I wasn't crazy about was the fact that it was a very monochromatic color scheme. But I did think it turned out rather elegant.
No matter the results I learned so much and love this little hobby of mine. By the way I got third place, other wise known as last, since there were only three entries in my division. More on that later ;)
