A year and months after the course, I am back here, even if the place looks deserted. I have to thank Cameron for unkowingly encouraging me to post again.

I did stuff like this:

With it I finally understood the use of brushes and textures to my advantage. Also, perspective!
More to come, I really hope I can get the professors and my peers to check it and criticize it!
