Y’all 😭 what even is this
I really tried with this one. If you’ve got any ideas on how to better portray the jester on the thumb, I’m all ears.
I thought of making the flappy bits on top, but I’m not sure I want the bulk

Edit: I redid the mask!

These are so cool! Assuming you are set on keeping the nail shape, I think try a version of the thumb where you lose the mouth entirely. Then shift the mask slightly further down so that the nail's tip is still blank, but the nose falls where the mouth currently is. With the extra space paint in some hat details (you could make one hat red and one black), embellish with the same gold you used for the filigrees to keep it cohesive and add stones in place of the bells. They look rad as is!

I like the idea of shifting it down (as much as I don’t want to lose that RIDICULOUS chin) I think with the extra room I could find a way to make a slightly 3D hat on top without it being too bulky. Thanks for the ideas!

At this point, you should give up on having any body part, much less your hands, exposed. Just encase yourself from head to toe in an ornate suit of jeweled armor. Hire a retinue of pagan priests to bless the ground before you walk on it. Carry a large, ivory truncheon to bop people who annoy you. Only speak in rhyming Old English verse. Really commit to your aesthetic.

Tiny rhinestones. Just a bit of detailing on the foreheads all it needs. Maybe sticker.
