sigh. the one that burned me out
trying to measure and construct it killed my enthusiasm, but i didnt know it would do that at the time. i really dont like detailed symmetry and stuff. that was a big learned lesson. if id stuck more with the thumbnail here i couldve made something more cohesive and visually interesting without dwelling on details. thinking too much about the photorealism i used to do hindered me.
the focus wasnt even xianghua herself, but the scenery. water and cold air and sunlight. i just didnt really get it i think.
