Got some specific feedback and figured it'd be good practice to act on it. So here's an updated Astraea 64, trading out a lot of finer detail (which would be lost) for stronger simplified forms and better silhouette. (I feel like I keep learning not to fall too deep into details...) #artstraea

A news host was wondering who is placing these bets to make millions off the oil markets anytime Trump makes an announcement about the Iran War. I pointed out that the call is coming from inside the house.
