I finally finished~! In virtually all of its etymological origins, it means "green gem", so I didn't have too much to go on. But it is seen as the stone for new beginnings, healing and growth. The Emerald Flower Cart sells emerald-infused plant-life and healing stones.
I tried to give the bill some lines to reflect the structure of an emerald, also some of the feathers have green undertones and slight shape of the structure. It would've been fun if I gave the other colors on the beak structure too so it's like different gems on the beak.
I used colorpencil for the yellows and brown. and markers for the reds and blue. The feathers/ body I colored first with green color pencil and layered it with black marker and colored greens in more so they popped out against the black.
The emerald mermaid is based on an emerald catfish lol. Emerald is associated with the heart.
Pretty beat today so here's a sketch version of the Emerald Knight! I might color it tomorrow if I finish my Pearl entry early. :3
