The process you see here is edited heavily and only shows you just straight lines with no errors. And obviously, that is not the case.

I spent about 2~3 weeks just coming up with the concept and idea. And let me tell you, that was the most challenging part of any of this process. It's such a painful feeling not knowing what to do and feeling lost.

I have pretty high standard when it comes to making 1/1. Here are the important criteria when I am making 1/1:
- Does it have a good story?
- Does it make you think?
- Does it have a message?
- Lastly, is it a fuc*ing dope art that you would hang on the wall?

Am I happy with the result? Yes.
Did I enjoy the process even when there was pain? Oddly, yes.
Was this all worth it? Hell yes.

TLDR:
- took me 2~3 weeks for the concept and idea
- took me 2 weeks to execute it.
- making 1/1 is always a rollercoaster ride
- do I enjoy pain? yes.
