Glossy Nails
NEW NAILS, to feed your inner magpie 💅
I meshed this shape way before the war started, maybe in 2021. Those who follow me long enough have seen it posted as semi-abandoned WIP. Only 2 fingers were finished back then. I recall that somewhere in 2023 I wasn’t feeling okay, so I opened this project and did the rest of the hand to occupy my mind with something. When I got back to these nails a couple of days ago, I realized they were basically done, just needed minor adjustments.
When I bake textures for my nails, I don’t know what they’re going to look like. Head empty. I play with materials and environment maps until something I personally like shows up. And since I’m a magpie, I end up going for ✨shine✨ Priorities.
I still haven’t figured out the new preview style and had to use the old mediocre one. It’s either I do this or these nails never see the light of day. Would be a shame to keep them in the basement any longer. I can’t make proper use of them, but there are people who can.
I was so excited to add the 8th entry to my nails spreadsheet, and I finally did. But the sheet is going to break again soon because I’m already working on the next nails. At least they’re fire.
