Due to my recent hospitalization and the fact that my storytelling skills are really not that great, I'm putting 12 Gems on hiatus.

I'm really exhausted and overwhelmed, and I'm pretty sure no one else finds my characters or the story interesting anyway.

Now is the best time to support indie creators!

If you're sick of problematic mainstream companies like Disney, or the problematic creators of things like Harry Potter or Twilight, then check out some diverse, body-positive, realistic, and heart-wrenching/warming media! #OCsky #booksky #12Gems

Hi, I'm Hime, the creator of 12 Gems. It's a magical superhero story about a plus size, PoC girl who wishes to change her appearance, but gets so much more than what she bargained for...

I updated 12 Gems! I split chapter 3 into two parts. And Chapters 1 and 2 are now merged. #booksky #writersky #12Gems #fatprotagonist #authorsky #birthstones #PoCprotagonist #yafantasy #zodiac #originalcharacter #OCsky #zodiac

Here's some more sketches of Aquarius girl, Valerie Adler. I kind of liked revisiting the idea of her as a skater. Maybe that could be used in her wind or cloud-based powers. #originalart #originalcharacter #12Gems #animeart #workinprogress #magicalgirl #webcomic #Webtoon #mahoushoujo

I changed Valerie's hairstyle a bit. It looks more wispy and windy, like the air sign she is. Should I try another tomboyish style? #artsky #characterdesign #12Gems #workinprogress #animeart #originalart #webcomic #digitalart #originalcharacter

Misty…or rather, Claira stood still, blinking in shock and disbelief. She lowered her gaze to her bare, floating feet, suspended in the void. Slowly, a feeling of hope and resolve welled within her. S...

How do you like Estrella's redesign compared to her original? Did I improve on the silhouette? I still wanted to keep the "half-and-half" style with the ponytail and the long hair, but the long part of her hair is split in two unrealistic directions. 😆 I'll draw the back of her hair later. #12gems
Some concepts of my main character, Estrella Alexandrite from my original series, 12 Gems. The middle one has a higher ponytail and her hair more wavy than her last design on the right.

How's the design so far? This is going to be Alita Tourmaline, a Libra Birthknight from 12 Gems. Her costume is inspired by hearts and wings. I decided to put a bit of Ancient Greek inspiration in my Birthknight designs.

Jake Snow the third (soon-to-be Veronica Nilak) in church clothes, looking not-too-pleased about it.

I imagined that Jake found out where Claira lives while doing the door-to-door thing, and says, "Look, I don’t want to see you either. Is an adult home?" #OC #originalcharacter #12Gems
Jake Snow with his hands in his pockets, and his left eye twitching, and a slightly displeased expression.
