I’m currently out of stock of that version and I won’t be restocking it, instead I’ll be adding her latest design (which is an altered version of that card). And I just finished the animation for it, so I should have it up during the week :)

_{Sorry if you wanted the mid design :O I may be able to do a small restock of that version, but the new one is the same just with the design changes.}

My store is here, I go through Storenvy and post with Australia Post. You can purchase my stuff from anywhere those are both available :D I have a store FAQ here as well! if I don’t have your question there then just send another message :)

I have a couple of time-lapse process videos up on YouTube for Amethyst, Stevonnie and new Amethyst :) haven’t got any specifically tutorial ones, I’m not sure what I’d really say or highlight in a proper tutorial aside from base steps ^^’ if I can think of anything I’ll think about it next time I work on one of them!

Usually I use TVPaint for rough animation, SAI for drawing and Photoshop to put everything together. The Blue and Yellow diamond ones were a bit different, Blue had the rough animation done in PS, and Yellow’s in Flash.

It’s really simple! for the skirt I have 3 main layers, the lines, shading, and base colour. The shading is clipped/grouped with the main (or it can all be on one layer), and the main is set to 40% opacity while the lines are kept at 100%

The skirt lines are lightly coloured as well, and all of underneath her skirt is coloured the same as everything not covered by the skirt :) I think shading the skirt helps it, but I’m not sure how to describe how I go about it ^^’

Sometimes I’ll put everything in a folder (’Skirt’ in this case) and lower the opacity of that, but here I wanted solid lines. Hope this helps!

Both Diamond Pearls are coming tomorrow! :D don’t think I’ll do the Rubies though, but if we see what Amethyst’s original outfit was I’ll draw her and original Ruby, Sapphire and Pearl! or if we see more of the Rubies ^^’
