Problems I encountered while working on my piece while there wasn't overly many there was a few. The main one was the fact at times while I was working the file size became so big I couldn't save it. The maximum size for a photoshop file is 2GB (two gigabytes) where as my file keep getting larger and larger as I was working on it. To fix this I had to do the work in sections rather then all in one go so I could merge the layers down since I have a habit of using different layers for each colour and then the shading and texturing. This caused a problem of not being able to recover my work incase the program crashed, so I would lose all my work. 

​

Another problem I had was getting my textures to match up seamlessly due to some of the textures I tried using had light on them, In the end to fix this I had to gather different textures so they would join up correctly and not look off. This caused me to have to spend more time looking for textures which put me behind in my timeline to get the piece completed.

I also had some problems with my graphics tablet, while this wasn't software based, it was a problem. The graphics tablet I use when im at college is different from the one I use at home, While both of the tablets are my own I didn't have the correct drivers installed for my collage one on my personal pc so when I had driver issues with my main tablet, I couldn't just use my collage one instead. To fix this I had to instal the drivers for my collage one while I fixed my main tablet. This caused delays as I couldn't continue working until I had installed the driver.
