I realy do like it, this is why.
realism is very very hard to do. it involves high detail mesh work and a lot of textures (bitmaps).
The cone is well executed and its colours fits the overall look-and-feel.
Your composition is good, nice in the centre. The out of focus maybe to much.
But is give me the feeling of a tiny house object (table, candle, record covers).
I am glad you shared it, it is a good project!
Maybe I can interest you to participate in the latest “Christmas Cards” collab?
