"Typically dark green with red inclusions, Bloodstone is often used to increase one’s courage, motivation, and creative energy. It’s also beneficial for endurance and physical strength. The Ancient Greeks held the Bloodstone as a gem with glorious powers and referred to it as Heliotrope, which directly translates to Sunstone. If your birthday lies in the month of March (or if you are an Aries), you can count Bloodstone as one of your birthstones as a means of action and vitality.

Ooops I have been very tried lately, working hard on studying my korean and... having more work.

This is Sparrow, a squire to a character who already has a design. I chose him for bloodstone mainly because the traits of it are those he sees in his mentor, and wishes to emulate.

Kyanite typically ranges from light to dark blue (which gives it its name, from the Greek kyanos) and usually appears in sprays of bladed crystals. It is usually associated with calming, grounding energy, and sometimes linked to clarity and logic as well. It's a lesser-known gemstone that you won't often see in jewelry stores, but can be a beautiful, steadying presence among flashier stones.

And for this one, I chose to design a Queen. I don't really know her character that much yet, but what I know so far fits.
I kinda fell behind, in as much as you can given the Sunshine Challenge's openendedness. ooops. To be fair, figuring out her clothes was kinda difficult.

"Prized for its blue to white adularescence—a billowy, moonlight-like sheen—Moonstone has been closely associated with the Moon. The ancient Romans believed it was frozen moonlight, a gift from the goddess, Luna. Therefore, some consider it an alternative birthstone for those born on Monday, the “Moon’s day”. Due to this lunar association, as well as its calming influence, this gem is considered an excellent aid for those with trouble sleeping. Moonstone is a stone of inner growth and strength; it soothes emotional instability and stress and stabilizes the emotions, providing calmness. Because of all this, Moonstone is often associated with wisdom and dreams."

For this one, I chose this character, who will remain unnamed for reasons related to their story, because they often are both a calming influence on their friends, and rely on their friends to calm them down when need be. This character is autistic, and based on the many wonderful autistic people I know and care about, and rely on and help. And we all have trouble sleeping. Maybe I should buy us all moonstones XD.

"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.

So for this year's sunshine challenge I decided what I wanted to do was:
take characters from story ideas of mine that fit the theme
actually DESIGN them.

So first here is ■■■■, and I'm not gonna reveal why I chose him for Amber, but it will probably be pretty obvious if I ever get around to actually making his story. I wanted him to have 90s hair.

And yea I've been a bit slow. It's been a busy and tiring year for me. And I donated blood yesterday.

So, this is partly split off from Yellow because I felt that chapter was getting too long. So maybe more on the yellow side of green?

Prompt 3: Yellow
Yellow is a bright color that is associated with a variety of things including: joy, enlightenment, enthusiasm, alertness, danger, clarity, summer, expression, deceit, cowardice, confidence, satisfaction, and optimism.

All I feel is celestial desire
A distant joy is dancing all around me
All I see is yellow in the spring air
How beautifully the color worked itself in —CITIZEN, “Yellow Love”

Yellow can be a polarizing color, for some invoking the bright joy of optimism ... while serving as a symbol of duplicitous gutlessness for others. When has yellow been a prominent color in your life? Were you torn in two directions, or was its meaning clear?

Prompt 1: Red
Red is a strong color that is associated with a variety of things including: courage, power, glory, love, passion, inner strength, romance, sensuality, defiance, tenacity, violence, life, pleasure, fire, and revolution.

Life moves out of a red flare of dreams
Into a common light of common hours
Until old age brings the red flare again. —William Butler Yeats

For some, the color red can signify personal power and tenacity. When something flares red for you, what does that mean? When was the last time you felt the power of a red concept or emotion?

What I've created was a take the Cinderella tale, thought I very much doubt it's original. I mean... how can no one have thought of this before?

Also partly because... fire IS assosiciated with red but that rings false to me. Though, a friend of mine showed off her 'red' dress that looked very strongly orange to me.
