Public post but I figured I'd post high res. and no dialogue alt, why not!
Overall I'm... happy? With this one, save for me being obsessively obsessed about faces and wanting them to look good. If I noticed it's a bit crooked, it will bother me until I manage to fix it. In this case, I did feel something was off but I wasn't able to pinpoint it and fix it, even after two hours of tweaking stuff. But I was already pouring too much time into it so... I just conceded. I don't like giving up in general but, I think at one point you should just accept that you didn't do that well, and that next time you'll do better. Looking at it now I think I made her face a bit slim compared to what I usually do, might be that. Could also be the ears and me just not being used to seeing something like that up there, not sure.

If you ever do a painting you're completely satisfied with, you might as well quit.

That's something I heard Bob Ross say once. I think it's okay to not be satisfied with your work. One could argue it's not precisely healthy to try to meet absurd expectations, something I agree with, but... I don't know. Pushing yourself to do better is always good, it's how you get better I think.

Anyways, even more important I think it's fine to not love all the pieces you make. If you did, you wouldn't know when you made something really really good. Sorry for the monologue, my brain is fried, I'm gonna go have a nap lol
