I love the translucency of the stones, so often gems are treated as though they're opaque.

I think a lot of people just have trouble working out how to make a crystal look transparent. It's hard!

Definitely, but I think not having a crystal to reference on hand hurts. Since, most of the time, references are on a solid background and unmoving, so it looks like it's solid.

Absolutely love what you did with the minerals literally shooting out from the dragon at all those different angles. Definitely a very cohesive design!

This is awesome how you've made the crystals transparent. It makes the whole thing really realistic if you ask me.

Eee, so beautiffulll..

Are you doing a collection of these? I'd LOVE to see your take on every mineral. o:

I am doing a series, yes! I don't really have a plan for them, though. I mostly just draw them when one of the mineral blogs I follow on tumblr posts something extra cool

SanguineMiasma In reply to Pythosart [2013-05-08 14:16:47 +0000 UTC]

Huh, what about lapis lazuli? It's one of my favorite blue stones. It's a type of blue stone that has gold particles in it. I also found a really cool rainbow-esque mineral that looks like a bunch of boxes. I forgot the name of it. Do you know it? Here: [link]

Pythosart In reply to SanguineMiasma [2013-05-08 14:18:44 +0000 UTC]

I have considered doing Lapis, but like I said, I don't really plan these!

I do believe that's a bismuth crystal

SanguineMiasma In reply to Pythosart [2013-05-08 14:20:37 +0000 UTC]

You are absolutely right! I absolutely love the bismuth crystal. It's so unusual but it is natural! Funny how life makes things sort of things, huh?

Well, since you don't plan these, I'll keep waiting until you get the inspiration. :'D Cheers!
