Thank you!
I've still got a ways to go with rendering glass, but it's nice to hear positive feedback on my current direction! C:

It looks really good! It's pretty inspiring to see people work hard to improve a skill.
Personally I'm trying to get the hang of water droplets and it's going...eh. XD Any tips?

Okay, I actually do have some tips for that! C: (Note: this is for digital media that allows layers, I'm still parsing out how to render them on single layer media)

First draw the object that the droplets will be resting on and fully render it. Next make a new layer on top of the object layer and sketch out where you want each droplet. Keep in mind that each droplet has a form of its own, so take into account where you need to add shading and highlights for each one. Next, I tend to make the droplets the same or a similar color the object they are resting on, or if they are on glass I tend to make the droplets the same color of the contents of the glass.

If you're ready for a challenge, try to observe how droplets distort the view of the surface of the object.

Hope this helps! C:
(At this point, it just sounds like I should make a tutorial of this for the future)
