I actually like the drawn 3D effect and the shadows.
I consider myself a creative person (in writing and other areas) and I can tell you from experience that we tend to be our own worst critics. The cure for that is losing our filter with a don't-give-a-shit attitude. Follow your bliss, love. ;)
Thanks for good advice. Maybe I shall, indeed give less fucks :-)
That's the spirit! two thumbs up. ;)
