After day

we're alright where we're supposed to be

It’s done! for now. Until I decide to do more stuff with it. But for now it is done. I didn’t count how long this took. I significantly changed the structure a couple of times, and some of the lighting changed from the original plan.

Looking forward to doing more proper painting studies.

I may have made a few too many, though…

My general rule of texturing is make something I wouldn’t be embarrassed to see in a game I was playing. Especially if the game was very boring and I suddenly had a lot of time to examine textures and snark.
