Crystal Rendering do and don't

Both look pretty bad, ngl...

Just learn how to render gems, don't use the lasso tool like a maniac please.

You know there is a pattern to the texture in a gem right

Twitter is making me feel like im crazy these past days. Both look fine the second is just a very extra way to render a gem like the outcome is good ???

just blind them with the shine so they can’t spot the mistakes

My verdict is that it does actually look gorgeous at a first glance but the patterns of the cut make no sense. It's an interesting trick but not a replacement for real technique imo

I might be a dogwater artist, but hell no.

faceting does NOT work like that

Probably lame, but I like the left only because the pattern got too realistic in comparison with the rest (the metal band)

"Don't draw a gem without any attempt to make it look like a gem" "Do draw a gem with entirely random scribbles of gem things" Lol the second one wouldn't look better if you actually tried for the first one.

i kinda like the left one more

Gostei mais dá errada kkkkk

Blade mode?

Ambos estan mal

both make crystals, just different cuts and finishes

If this is a Soulgem, which it looks like Madoka's, they're not supposed to have a gem-like texture because inside is their literal soul

both a mess 😭😭

what’s the name of the song

Madoka mentioned

I mean both could work! One looks like a polished/smoothed crystal and the other is a shaved crystal!

Woah

So thisbis how they made the sparkletime fedoras

Al principio salió mal pero al final también lmao lol Buen ragebait btw

How?

Both are acceptable

I am way too fried for this but I lvoe it😭😭😭😭
