Hand Painted Mana/ Health Potion

CarlK3D

Continuing along the road of making Hand Painted Assets I was making a mana Potion and got to texturing and ran into 2 options
1. Use Geometry and 16 Bit Alphas for depth inside the bottle
2. Just Paint like normal (No Depth inside Bottle)

Opinions & Critiques on Option 1 or 2 would be really appreciated
Here's where it currently at (Using Alphas) & Blockout Textures



Heres 2 references of some Other Potions

I think it would be a great challenge to do it without alphas or depth in the bottle. If you're practicing hand painting, it seems logical, plus I love the look of the potion collection reference.
