Well this took a while, really I had no clue about how the outline would turn out and with the vector emerald on the left, it does give you a clear indication of how I threw every shade of green possible at this OC. I mean the cutie mark in particular graps the main shading as well as the mane which includes geometric corners and outlines of where in certain parts inside the gemstone would lie.  
I genually think I did quite reasonably in mimicking the certain parts of the gem itself from top to bottom and nonetheless would be the basis. The other previous I didn’t since all I did was just fiddle with the API, but nevertheless having this time off did allow me to reflect of how I could develop my skills further.
 
This is quite an experiment I have to say with throwing every shade of green possible, that did take quite a few hours to put together as getting the mane right was one struggle. Certain skectings were redone either due to the outlines being too thick or not the correct colour.
