quick marmoset render

Thinking of making the teardrop gems more geometric than smooth but idk. And I still have to move some vines around a tiny bit.
Anyway thanks for looking! I'll be posting updates soon probably maybe.

Looks good, not usable at all, but a nice image, I think you're right about the teardrop gems, they would look good with some angles

Got to be honest, when I read the title I expected a spherical eye, might look better using a full sphere and using the vines to create the eye shape you want. Looking forward to updates!

Okkk back on this finally. Fixed the geo on the teardrop gems and got everything to low poly! Also did UVs. Deciding to go with a 1024x2048 so I don't have to slice any of the vines lengthwise. Heres a shot of the low poly and the UV sheet.
Its at about 16,000 tris right now.

Wondering how to go about baking now with the irregular size @___@
