Amethyst Villains - Dark Opal

This is a DC franchise that needs so much more attention. The campy fun, but high fantasy epic of Amethyst: Princess of Gemworld needs to be more prevalent. I want shows, I want movies, I want more comics. In all honesty I don't know too much about it, but I want to.

Dark Opal is such a striking character, and one who popped up very early when I started drawing these DC characters. I guess he faded, but now he's back and he's here. Pulled some Roman and Turkish armor inspirations for him, and of course his clothes had to be jewel tones.

Hilarious pre-bed time thought:

Dark Opal thinks he’s a Superman villain, but he’s not. Like, in the opening of YJ:Gemworld, he’s clearly pissed at Supes and invaded a whole dimension about it, but Young Justice deals with him before Superman even hears about it.

He is, at most, a Superboy villain, but Kon’s beef with him is barely personal. Yeah, he was despot over the land Kon was living in, but Kon was living on a farm, largely out of the way of the worst of the villain’s bs. Kon is way angrier at the mad scientist responsible for stranding him on the Gemworld.

So what I’m picturing is Opal rising from his proverbial ashes and going to Earth to start shit, and he lucks out! He finds Superman!

Only for Superman to be very confused “I think I might remember fighting you once? Maybe?”

Only for Kon to interrupt and sucker punch the guy into the pavement bc he got a tip from Amethyst that somebody might have popped in from the Gemworld.

Nothing since the 80s has captured how terrifying Dark Opal is.
