A side project while working on my main project. I'm fairly new to art in general, and especially new to digital art. I have no idea what all those layers do, and what to make of them. I also have shamefully limited knowledge of refractive indexes and birefringence of minerals, so keep in mind this may not be accurate at all. I have lots to learn, and it's kinda daunting tbh, but I think I'll get better in due time. See you soon (hopefully).
Here's the tutorial I followed. https://i.redd.it/4b259wxg3g621.png Idk I think I went overboard and made it a lil' TOO shiny, I'll cut down on the gleam next time.
