Here is the beginning. I created this piece about 6 months ago for my son. It was my rendition of Pink Diamond. It was a good piece I made for him. 

Now 6 months later and a tough week of failed pieces (no inspiration and a busy stressful week at my regular job), an idea and a series was born. My new series of pieces are called the Crystal Gem Series. Inspired by Steven Universe and this piece above I made 6 months ago, here my first piece- Pink Diamond Shattered Love.
