Dark Wings Dark Words Evolution

Evolution / Making Of of
Dark Wings Dark Words



This is not a classic tutorial, it's more a "Making of". What I want to show here is that an idea can and has to evolve with the stock and the reality - i.e. if something doesn't fit, even after multiple attempts to make it fit, get rid of it. Don't keep it just because you have spent so much time on it.
