Prompt
"Soft pink in color, Rose Quartz has been a popular stone since as far back as 800-600 BCE. Today, as in the past, it’s most associated with love, compassion, and healing in all its forms both towards oneself and others. In the Greek myths it’s mentioned at least twice: once where Eros is said to have brought it to man to inspire love, and again in the story of Aphrodite and Adonis where it came to represent love triumphant. It’s a stone of beauty and sentiment and will likely be favored for years to come."




I chose this guy because... well healing is a big theme for him. Both for himself and others.

Oh, this is STUNNING. I love the subtle shifts in color, and the way the quartz effects almost make it look like he's been pieced back together.

Thank you! The Quartz effect was quite fun to do!

Love a high-waisted pant, but even more so, I love the soft light effect on the rose coloring for this :D

Heh. Even though his story is set in 2012, I found myself looking to victorian era clothes for fashion inspiration for him!

I like the expression on him--kind of wistful and thoughtful--and also his shoes. :D

Thanks! I just took his shoe design from my searches into victorian fashion (even though he's a millenial).

Such fancy shoes, and a really interesting zig zag shirt! I love all the different planes in the quartz and the gradient from top to bottom.

Thank you! For the shoes, I looked up a site that sells victorian style clothes and looked at the shoes section.
