Yeah, you guys are right. I think the main thing that bugs me is the poor shading – there’s no clear indication of any light source…the shading seems so arbitrary. We talked about having a clear contrast between light and dark areas, but the artist clearly did not follow that…

I guess I will look into lasering. I’m hoping the shading (which is actually just thin, fine lines) will fade quickly with the lasering, though I know it’s going to be a long process.

In regards to the geometric shape, I always just intended that to be the start of something, and build more geometry around it. Just haven’t gotten to it yet. I’m actually quite happy with that shape, and I think as long as I expand that geometric theme correctly, it will look ok once finished.
