[img]http://i.imgur.com/uZ1ZT1W.png[/img]Here's something no one asked for nor wanted, but I felt like doing.[img]http://i.imgur.com/2frGb1G.png[/img]

[img]http://i.imgur.com/T2SL8lb.png[/img]
First things first, make your sketch. It's rough so don't worry too much about the details, but the cleaner you make it, the easier it is to do the lineart. I work on a 350x350 canvas since the items are resized down to 80x80. 250x250 is also an acceptable size, but I personally wouldn't work any smaller!

[img]http://i.imgur.com/6224Zgm.png[/img]
Next do your lineart, try to make sure you vary your line weight to give the item depth. I work with a 9 pixel brush, and a size 4 for small details (if there are any)

[img]http://i.imgur.com/eo75Eh0.png[/img]
I redefined the rough part of my sketch, so that it was cleaner, and better showed what I wanted it to look like.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/Pflml5F.png[/img]
I lined the green details since they were going to be colored first, and deleted the sketch layer, along with the green part of the sketch since I didn't need them anymore.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/0JcEyrs.png[/img]
I added thorns to the pink sketch layer, since I'm planning to use it at a later time, but for now, I hide the layer since at the time, I don't currently need it.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/IiwEQ0Y.png[/img]
I threw down the base colors. The blue is on a separate layer, above the grey.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/sUpS3of.png[/img]
I did the details by erasing the blue layer in the shape of roses and thorns, and changed the gem color to the same color as the background, so it didn't stand out as much anymore. I thought it looked better this way.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/1sZODgG.png[/img]
On the blue layer, I turned the layer effect "fringe" on. This causes it to have an outline
[img]http://i.imgur.com/1SnGkdx.png[/img]
thanks to doing that, the blue has an outline that I don't have to draw myself, giving it some natural depth.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/gDzh8W7.png[/img]
I shade the grey layer first
[img]http://i.imgur.com/WMxbIVd.png[/img]
[img]http://i.imgur.com/zmGqrO3.png[/img]
Mara has up to 4 layers of color for shading, but typically there'll be 2~3
Examples:
[img]http://i.imgur.com/HW05BwO.png[/img][img]http://i.imgur.com/nbsS3M4.png[/img]

[img]http://i.imgur.com/Sh53M6k.png[/img]
Next, I do the same for the blue. I didn't bother making a progress of adding each color for this one since it's the exact same progress as the grey.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/y6DWQhf.png[/img]
I did basic highlights here for the blue, before merging the blue and grey layers together for the final highlighting.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/1bQ89gz.png[/img]
After merging the two layers, I used a luminosity layer to do the final highlighting. I don't normally do this since it gives me less control over the colors, but since this item is meant to look metallic, the harsh highlights work in its favor.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/UfwngAU.png[/img]
When drawing normally, I don't usually do this step, but marapets style uses white as its brightest highlights, so I add in some white in the areas that are the lightest, along with the darkest areas to make it look like there's reflected light.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/1d263k4.png[/img]
Remember that pink layer I hid? I brought it back at this point and changed the color to the base color of the grey. This is a bit of a lazy way to do it, but since it's going to be resized to be so small, it doesn't REALLY matter

[img]http://i.imgur.com/whZElsu.png[/img]
I turn the fringe layer on, so it has a light outline. Another way to easily outline this would to be to select the layer, increment it once, make a new layer under it, and fill it in with the lineart color you want (black in this case), but since the details are so small, using that way makes it look a little sloppy, hence using the fringe layer this time.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/4p2hToc.png[/img]
I did the same shading style I did as shown earlier for the vines. This is the final result before being resized.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/uZ1ZT1W.png[/img]
Resized to 80x80, marapets item size!



And that's literally it. I'll probably do another tutorial later with how I do other items since this is a specific style I do for metallics.
(Yes these two are going to be mara items at some point. You guys get a lucky preview. YAYYYY)

Also here's the inspiration for the two items shown:
http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2014/285/9/d/commission__sword_design___rose_blade_by_kodamacreative-d826goh.jpg

I was going to make the color red too, but I thought it would look more like I tried to copy it, instead of taking inspiration from it. Inspiration vs copying is a slippery slope ):
They really do look so much better in red though;
