Description I always liked seeing people make OCs out of different things, like fruits, vegetables or stones and always wanted to make one myself, but never had an idea how my character would look like.
I really suck at designing clothes (oh the irony, when I was a kid I wanted to become a designer, lol) so that was also a reason why I barely draw my own characters and just stick to a fanart.

However, I have this very special thing in my collection that is the engagement ring with tanzanite and little diamonds   So one day I just thought about drawing something inspired by this particular stone, which is actually one of the rarest stones in the world. I made myself a color palette out of 6 random colors that I picked from one of the photos of the ring and tried to stick to only this palette + the usual black and white colors. Of course with the blending modes and post processing it obviously looks like there are much more colors.
Also this time I wanted to kind of embrace the lazy part of me and draw it as quick as possible but not make it seem like an half assed work. So when I felt like dropping the project because of the lineart (see, that's how lazy I am, I can't even draw the lines after I finish the sketch .___.) I actually switched to coloring and shading instead and only then added a very delicate lines there and there. But because of that change of routine I actually tried out a slightly new style and I SO LOVED drawing the hair.

I hope you like it

Brawo za stworzenie postaci inspirowanej kamieniem szlachetnym, która nie ma związku ze Steven Universe!


Fajny design i spokojna atmosfera pracy.

I love this!

Once again, you've done an incredible job with the fabric. I really like the way her dress flows! 0u0

I also like the magical and mysterious vibes this one gives. It's such a nice idea to base a character off of a precious stone. The simplicity and the overall flow of this picture so beautiful

Thank youu~ ^^

I dunno if it's a dress tho, I just slapped some fabric onto her to make it look magical~

To base characters over things it's so fun, I always wanted to do that Thanks again! ^^

You're welcome!

Yeah it may not be a full-fledged dress but it still gives you that Magical Girl Transformation Realness!! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ノ⌒♡*:・。.

True 0u0 I really like basing my OCs off of flowers or making them related to that flower in a way ^^

Exactly! I love the way she used the food theme for her OCs 0u0

Another thing I really like is periodic table as characters kcd-elements.tumblr.com/

I'm no chemistry geek but it's so intriguing and actually a great way to memorize the characteristics of the elements
