Please view in full-view for the details!Check out my Instagram for in progress and close up shots @jeriatweeartThis is the first of four diamond paintings--I'm really happy with this piece and I hope it is up to caliber. This is Blue Diamond from Steven Universe. I depicted her like an old painting her worshippers would have on their wall. I took inspiration from the Buddhist bodhisattva, Guan Yin / Quan Am, the deity of mercy/fertility.Her crown has all of the gems in her court: Lapis lazuli, Holly blue agate, blue zircon, blue pearl, aquamarine, and sapphire. Her earrings also depict larger lapis lazuli. I probably spent at least 3 hours on the gems alone, and 3 hours just on the crown! I had lots of fun and learned loads about skin coloring/metal reflection.Her face is based off of Michelle Yeoh because she is beautifulll. I am planning to paint the other diamonds based off of women of color, any suggestions for yellow/pink/white?Blue is my favorite diamond (Pink is complicated bc Rose&Steven) , who are your favorites?
