Noir Still Life

A lot of artists tell me that I should just keep making new projects and don't revise the old project that I've done. Still, I often feel like there's no better way to see your improvement than re-making your old project. While remaking this still life project, I realize how much I have improved over the years and how I approach the project from a completely different perspective. I started to understand what I did wrong on the first time and how I can make it better.
It took me quite some time to revised the project consider I have to remodel a lot of the pieces in the scene. Brought in into a completely different render engine and completely re-make the material from scratch. And also make sure the object is proportionately scaled. I used 3DS Max, Vray Next, Substance Painter, Zbrush, Photoshop for this project.
