Description This was a fight against burnout and the deadline

Massive thanks to my lecturer Sandara for giving a literal facelift to the character's face, I take little credit for that area  

Still have much to study-practice for human anatomy, and on managing my expectations and burnout. I actually had enough time to touch this up to the best of my ability and even finished my other 3D assignment days early just to make time for this assignment, but I was feeling quite down and mentally burnt out about the whole semester (and possibly worrying that I couldn't match up to my own standards because my lecturer did such a good paintover of the face) that I procrastinated on this quite a bit until last minute. Argh.

I guess, to my credit, it is my first time trying to paint a rendered human character + fantasy creatures (or fantasy themes at all), so there's that.
Better a finished but imperfect product so I can move on to other things and get better from there, than to linger too long on one thing and never get it done.

Time given: 4 weeks (on top of other assignments)

Whoooa, this looks so cool! Really nice lighting and background, and for any flaws it might have (I can't see 'em, for the record), this is a gorgeous piece. And I'm sure you learned a lot from it.

hey, this sem was tough.. the 225 hurdle together with the rest of the modules is usually very stress-inducing! Still, you managed to prevail, so take a good long deserved rest these 2 weeks!

stuff like anatomy takes lots of practice, so when you have the time, just do some life drawings, portraits, that kind of thing as practice. Just pencil on paper will do, no need to paint digitally.

Aaa thank you for the encouragement Sandara ;w; Really loved your classes and guidance this past sem! It's all very inspiring to me how you can reply emails so fast with touchups of our work  

And yup, will make time to practice those !
