This took roughly a month for me to complete. However, even though a month seems like a long time, it was rather short between working two jobs and finding as much spare time as I could to finally complete it. Realistically, this piece was completed in about a week time vs a month.
This year has been filled with many different obstacles. But the love of 3D still remains within.
