Masterpost of my lovely Crystal Gem ACEO cards, now that I have a version of Pearl that I am genuinely satisfied with. Most of my followers on here could not be there at the MMC Berlin 2017, where I gave these out for free, and not everyone who would like one wants to be a patron of mine. So I had an idea! I set up a Gumroad account, and took the leftover stock from the MMC to offer it on there! They’re pay-what-you-want, I only need you to cover the shipping fee. ^^

Due to Tumblr’s war on external links, I have put the Gumroad link on a separate Tumblr page. Go and knock yourselves out! ^u^ My other convention merch is also on there!

My business teacher was really chill about me keeping up the work on this in class, bless him tbh. I think with the convention looming over me like it is (it’s on October 28th-29th) I won’t be able to feel genuinely calm before I’ve drawn all three of the set I really want to finish.

Garnet came out looking a bit like my own mom! :D I like it!

ACEO card design I drew for the Mega Manga Convention in Berlin. Let’s see if I can get these printed and glued today, that would be nice.

The plan is to give these away in a lil raffle at the MMC. C: I really like the Crystal Gems and wanna share that. I’m usually really intimidated when it comes to fanart but... I really wanna try delving more into it at least occasionally.

We did it kids! We climbed this whole mountain!

I finally finished the trilogy, after dedicating every minute I could to it! ;u; Pearl was quite the challenge due to her gem and her skin being so pale - but I’m happy with the result!

I’ll go to print the cards tomorrow. Wish me luck - I’ll have to shape Pearl’s gem manually, so I’m really nervous about potentially mussing up ahhh...

The first edition is finished! Been scouting for materials and working pretty nonstop all weekend but hey! Amethyst is completely done!

With luck I can finish Garnet tomorrow and materials for Pearl will hopefully come in on Tuesday.

God, I love the lil gems on the cards, they are so shiny and pretty and ahhhh! ;u;

These ACEOs are so far the thing I created that most feels like legitimate art not only in the digital, but also a more traditional sense. So much time, love and effort to create something I am really proud of and want my name attached to.

So if you share any of these photos (or the original art) around -  I beg you to keep my name attached to this.

You can get one of these for free at the MMC Berlin 2017 btw! First floor, look for... basically the girl you see in all of my self portraits on here. XD

Second batch done! Garnet looks lovely on these~!

Pearl might take til the end of the week to finish, I can glue on the labels tomorrow but I still need some materials.

Card Sets and Shipping Costs

I noticed that the shipping costs stacked for the Crystal Gem cards. That was not the intention - I now created some sets that you can buy without the shipping cost adding up while I wait for a reply from Gumroad about this. Let me know if you want any specific two-card-combinations!

[broeckchen]

Regarding the Crystal Gems cards, will Gumroad automatically do the shipping in the cart or do we need to ensure what we put in covers shipping? If it’s the latter, could you check into shipping to the US?

Gumroad will automatically add the shipping cost! C:
