Ran out of time to polish the presentation, but I'm glad I got to practice hand-painting again!
Things I wished I did better:
I wish I branched out more with my colors and was more bold with it instead of sticking to pretty naturalistic colors.
I also wish I had some more fun with stylizing the model a bit to make it look more appealing
I also should have left ten minutes for myself to paint a cast shadow at the very least for presentation.
