Ahh I had a hard time even getting the WIP done ^; I may scrap this but we'll see how I feel tomorrow!

I wanted to diamonds with colors and I thought it would go well with a hummingbird's iridescent feathers. So I thought of a hummingbird with colored diamonds feathers.

I used colorpencils and lined it with a Micron 03 pen. I also had to edit the background since the picture from the page behind it was bleeding into the background.

DIamonds have a large variety of crystal expressions since their crystal form is a modified cube. Since Fluorine isn't listed for this challenge, and it has one of my favorite crystalline expressions) I decided to use that version of natural diamonds. Very cute tiny painting.

This mermaid is based on a squid and has her gemstone on her head because diamonds are associated with the mind.

Took a breather today by doing a study of a diamond instead of a full picture. It took a few tries but I finally found a style I liked, so I'm happy with it now.

DIAMOND GLADE ZONE | PB

Diamond dragons (like real diamonds) are very resilient and can headbutt their way through anything. They also wrap their wings around themselves as a shield. Due to their durability and strength they represent leadership and fearlessness.
