Description This is NOT free to use! So please... don't. Thanks.

I'm now offering commissions of pixel gemstones like these! If you're interested, check out this journal !


I guess I'm turning this into a project now? These are fun and rather quick to finish, with a satisfying result.
I'm thinking of giving a small summary on each of the new characters, but who knows whether I'll ever get around to showing their true references on here or not. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Here's the first of the characters I haven't introduced here! Sphene was actually Chartreuse Pearl 's initial owner, the one she was originally made for! Though I'd rather not spoil Chara's backstory just yet, I will say Sphene was definitely not mean to her pearl. Just... there was a lot of... miscommunication between these two. :/


Stars, this one I'm not as content with. Titanites (sphenes) are often faceted specifically to show off the high sparkliness (I think it's called dispersion?), but I wanted to keep with a similar style to the other pieces in this series, so it ended up not being as realistic as I would have liked. Ah, well.

Thank you! ^w^ It's also called titanite, but before I started working with this character, I had no idea they were just synonyms for the same kind of gem!

I had to google what a cut sphene looked like and ooooh, yeah I can see why you'd want to mellow some of those reds. Awesome, though! I'm hooked; if you wind up writing more about her and Chara I'd be curious to see what they're about.

Oh, gosh, actual high quality sphene is gorgeous. The vivid green and red flecks were impossible to capture in this, though.

I have a few things planned to show some of their relationship! It's interesting to me to explore how contrasting Chara and Zircon's interactions are to her and her previous owner's; in addition to the differing dynamics, there's also the fact that Chara's personality has changed noticeably since then.
