And this piece I would call my level-up moment. With the creation of this, I feel I finally crossed a bridge, which before I found to daunting to even ascend. I finished my first fully rendered digital illustration. And I'm proud of the image I created. And even though there is still a lot more for me to learn, with this, another step has been taken. So be sure to leave some comments, and share your thoughts!

Below I've posted some WIP images and the time-lapse video that I recorded while working on this piece.
