I liked the original better, but the polish is still spiffy.

First reaction: I like it. A lot. It’s clean, smooth and classy. But, I’d like to see it from other angles.

Personally, I’m kind of tired of splash/drip style designs. I’m more of a clean, orderly design fan, ya know?

Cali, are you accepting Dust/polish work at the moment?

I can’t show you different angles b/c it is getting blasted here shortly. I just polished it just messin around and it took just a couple minutes…

I can accept work if you’re wanting. Just PM me w/ what you want.
