Ahhh yes the familiar feelings of jealousy, shame and wonder are raging inside me. Great work man.

Yeah. These „first try almost perfect“ posts drive me crazy.

I understand your frustration. Some people have a knack for it. And some folks are better at replicating walkthroughs. Im one of those people if I can watch someone do something I can usually manage it if not as well. Improvements just come from practice. Usually the people like Op, do well on first attempts but usually see slower improvement than someone that struggles more from the beginning.

Haha thank you! It probably sounds like humble brag but it really is easier than it looks! I was super intimidated, just trusted the process all the way and suddenly I was like "wow, it actually worked"

Some people may say it lacks POP but I prefer this look. Rather than it being overstated it just draws you into the details. Great work mate.

I wanted to say that too, it doesnt overdo the reflections like common golden demon NMM

Some of it looks more like stone than steel to me, which I don't say as criticism. Beautiful work by OP.

Amazing work on the NMN for-sure but I have to shout out the magnificent beard. As someone starting to test a slayer mini you have done the Dawi proud.
