Amethyst comes from Greek "amethustos" meaning "not drunken" because the stone was thought to have prevented drunkenness
so I drew a... wine.. house..? xD Anyway I like this one a lot better than the first in terms of getting more across with less. ECONOMY
Today I tried a lineless style, and I'm pretty happy at how it turned out! Still need to work on the highlights, though.
Missed the first day but oh well. I decided to do a series of mermaids for this challenge! The amethyst mermaid is based on a bottlenose dolphin and has an amethyst gem in the crown on her head because amethyst is associated with the mind. Sorry about the bad quality pic though, my phone's camera isn't very good. I'll update if I get the chance to clean it up in Photoshop.
EDIT: Added wip of the cleaned up photoshop version
I always draw mermaids on Monday, so I thought an Amethyst inspired merm would be perfect for today! Looking at everyone so beautiful entries is so inspiring :
I already missed a day, darnit! Ah well, here's Amethyst for day #2, Loving the other entries so far too <3
Amethyst dragons are sturdy and strong. They represent tranquility and clarity.
This is the dragon in my Gemstones banner!
