If you're tired of seeing crystal concepts I did while working on The Crystal Core from Bitloft then you're in luck, because this is the last crystal-related image I have that's worth uploading, it's all character stuff from here. Though if you aren't looking at these as I post them, but instead going through my gallery from newer works to older works, then you're past characters and this will be the first Knowledge Crystal concept image you see. Which, as an aside, is a matter that leaves me perpetually unsure as to which order is best to post images with a preferred viewing order - the order that makes sense for those viewing them as they're uploaded, or the order that those wandering by later would most likely go by. Personally, it seems like I view far more images in the latter "reverse" fashion than in the order they were uploaded, but it still seems weird to post them that way so here we are. And once again I'm way off topic as usual.

Back on the matter of the image itself, these are the final round of Knowledge Crystal concepts I produced in my time working on The Crystal Core. Compared to previous concepts, this last round reflected a change in focus to the more familiar crystalline forms you see here, as opposed to the wackier earlier concepts. Still, these weren't necessarily supposed to read as real crystals, which meant that I could have fun with the colors and markings, which I very much did. In fact, I had progressively more fun with the colors as I went, as you can see from the progression from plain single colors at the top to more and more elaborate combinations and markings on the bottom. Was the top row too bland? The last row too weird? I don't know, this was one of my last submissions for the project. What I do know is that trying out a range of ideas is what the concept stage is for, so that's what I did.
