I don't know if I'm happy with it or not, honestly. I certainly need to look at it in the daylight. It feels done ...and it's so different from my usual stuff that I'm not sure how to judge it. Regardless, I like it because it was actually fun! The orientation is still debatable, incomprehensibly.

Still that third and last damn feminine portrait eludes me. Unfortunately, the orientation of the pic remains and relies on that last troublesome portrait. The tapestry will look tons better after the outlines. Nonetheless, I'm happy with the progress. #wip #art #Gaia #Jane #Sally #Betty #Anne, #Sis

Seriously, I really don't understand what's happening.
Why is this taking so long? This was an experiment from the beginning, but what? "The season of ghosts." Lol. Ready for more color. Top chick needs a less eek face. Progress, thankfully. Dang

So many things I like, so many things I hate. Lots to fix, but definite progress.

It's embarrassing to still not know which way is up. Regardless, onward.
