You guys already knew I can't make titles x]

So THIS. I learned a few lessons with this one:

1. THUMBNAILS. Make sure you have a plan for what you are going to do with an image, or else you'll end up working on it for a long time and it not go anywhere.

2. LIGHTING. It's okay not not have everything visible and lit. Use lighting as a focal point.

3. DETAILS. Quit focusing on tiny details! This probably sounds strange, but it's probably the main reason why I kept getting stuck. Lay out the entire piece with the lighting BEFORE adding tiny details, if at all!

A huge thanks to artmagix and also to tienchiart on DA for helping me out with critiques on this. It also made me realize that I needed to finish up this piece, so I could just start a new one lol.
