I like it. The lighting and shadows are really nice, and I can feel the 3-dimensionality of the figures. All that construction work paid off, LOL!

I get what you're saying about feeling like you should have done more research. It's good to try and solve problems with your noodle without any outside input though. It forces you to be more confident, and it can result in a more cohesive-looking picture, even if there are some knowledge gaps.

So there's yet another reason for why it's good to alternate between invention and studying from reference/life.
