I'm not using a crappy 40 dollar airbrush anymore, I've improved my skillset, I've learned to make my own paint, I've learned how to make things just -look- better..
It's unfortunate that I'm losing this much effort, but I'm not upset about it, I'm happy that I can go back and do it much better.

So going from that, to his face, made me just feel that I didn't do my best.
Now, that's not to put myself down.. But in just the few months I've been working on him now, I've learned A LOT.

No. "Good enough" is not what I want for Vulpabrood... I want him to be the best work I can be.
What finally sealed the deal, was considering the horns I did. I have no regrets and nothing I want too improve about them.. They came out amazing.

I stopped being happy with them, when I had to cover the Nihilak oxide... I should have stopped and started over then.
But I kept telling myself "But I've put -so- much time into this!" and I realized that was just my brains way of trying to tell me that my work was "good enough"..

Now, that alone, wasn't what prompted me to take him all the way back down to plastic.
I was realizing the poll I asked about the black lines, and that I wasn't upset with the lines themselves, but rather I wasn't happy with their appearance.

Wow..
So this is gonna be longwinded (And hopefully inspiring?).. But this happened.
Intentionally.
I wasn't happy with how one of the secret features came out, so I started to remove it, and as a I delved deeper, I found things I didn't like about how I setup the base.

Before.
After designing, laser cutting, and assembling.
Annnnnnd two days later...
OH GODS IT'S OUT OF CONTROL!
So.
ADHD is a real affliction.
Things are messy, so the need to clean them up happens.
The "clean up" isn't good enough.
Pretty soon, I'm designing my own custom wall storage, because I can't find one that fits what I want.
And then it happens: The project now has a mind and life of it's own.
