Gems

I love the opal in the middle. Such a beautiful shine ❤️

My brother is a big gem guy. I showed him this as soon as I saw it. He also thinks your art is really pretty.

magicalscope.bsky.social•102 days ago

c: well, thank you both!

katelric.bsky.social•103 days ago

Those look so good and I love how you played with the different shapes and cuts too.

magicalscope.bsky.social•103 days ago

Those were requested by the commission! Rendering all the specific ones were very fun!

houndgirl.bsky.social•102 days ago

You have such gorgeous works o.o and those gems are flawless o.o

magicalscope.bsky.social•102 days ago

:D I'm glad you enjoy them ^^ They were a ton of fun to paint!

houndgirl.bsky.social•101 days ago

I can see that o.o the attention to detail is really well done. If it's okay to ask do you start with gray scale and then turn to color? I know some artists do so to see values easier so i was curious if that was part of the process^^

magicalscope.bsky.social•101 days ago

Glad you like them!

And no I paint with color on and check values by having a keybind to turn the color channel to grayscale for checking values. I'm definitely still learning how to do values right, but I always preferred to do color rather than start with values only.

houndgirl.bsky.social•101 days ago

Absolutely agree with you o.o I usually start with purple as a base than build off of that. It truly was fascinating when I found out some people just start off with Grayslake. Its honestly cool to hear about others process 😊

magicalscope.bsky.social•101 days ago

yea its crazy how many methods of doing seemingly the same stuff there are XD

myrraleth.bsky.social•102 days ago

So pretty! You did an amazing job on the internal patterns of the gems!

magicalscope.bsky.social•102 days ago

:D thank ya! it was a fun challenge to do them. I learned a ton about how to render gems while doing this one XD

These gems are to 'blame' for my January-jewelry series, where I draw jewelry for a month. Here are some 2024 creations done for it:

That opal is SO good how did you manage that texture 👀

magicalscope.bsky.social•103 days ago

Iirc I used like 20 different brushes with various colors until it looked right (heavy experimentation going on lmfao)

I love that you had so much fun with my commission and still keep reposting it 😍 can't wait to see what you'll do with the follow up commission 🤩🤩🤩
Also: I did not really get that your jewellery month was a direct result of this commission! That's so awesome!

magicalscope.bsky.social•102 days ago

It was! I got so much fun out of gem drawing after the commission I wanted an entire month for it LOL
thank you again for that opportunity :D
