one thing i know for sure, the longer i stay on project tweaking and rerendering anything, the more i start to hate it. so i need to step up my game and find a final :)
We all* are confronted to our works becoming banal, stale in our eyes which we tend to find repulsive so the sooner one rebels against the sooner it overcomes and grows out of the phase. It's a challenge, so simply set your deadline and stick to it. Here's where we find our weaknesses to strengthen up and start to discipline ourselves.
You're not far from the finish line... and although this is - the final stretch, the longest path - it's still, mere illusion ;)
So simply do the best you can since we always grow learning something new about ourselves for the next time to be better prepared.
Wabi-Sabi adding complexity like:
- airborne, dew and other particles,
- mixing noise, giving more diversity to surfaces,
- and finally emphasize fidelity and "drama" in the image...
... or just take notes to self with a goal to do short exercises during the next "meanwhile" (~30min on "How to...")
