Complications and Hesitations

About time for an update on the building project!

This week was a bit of a downer - I felt deflated on the Monday when it was suggested I should pick another building and start over, due to the Guildhall being a difficult one to do. Apparently it's not suitable for me to only produce one 'side' instead of all four, including the courtyard in the centre. So I started panicking over my ability and more importantly the time available for this project - I know that texturing will be a challenge and take longer than the modelling.

I managed to go inside the Guildhall and view the courtyard.. though I wish I hadn't. The other side of the building is so different from the front and I realised it would be a nightmare to re-do. I'd already modelled the courtyard side but even what I'd done there was wrong - the inside roof was long, on one side it was deeper, plus there was a balcony with stairs and an outdoor corridor to consider.

I started adding another part of the building, but it was taking so long and I was worried about running out of time. Instead I decided to stick to my guts stick to the original plan of just working on one side, but try to make it as impressive as I can (perhaps with railings and maybe even a lamp post). Not to mention I was feeling homesick, which didn't help.

I messed up

So unfortunately I achieved near to nothing in this second week because I 'umm'-ed and 'ahh'-ed and struggled and tried and failed and hesitated and worried... So back to square 1. It may be basic but it's what I can achieve at this level - surely it's better to achieve something good at my level then beak down on the way to making something more advanced?
