Amethyst Princess of Gemworld "Time To Shine"
Awhile back, I redesigned Dc Comics classic 1980s fantasy series, "Amethyst, Princess Of Gemworld." My take was a sort of "Buffy" meets "Harry Potter." As the story went, back in the 80s: On her thirteenth birthday, Amy Winston learns she a mystical princess destined to defeat the evil Lord Dark Opal. On Gemworld, however, young Amy is transformed into an adult warrior princess with the mind of a teenager.

In my version, Amy is sixteen years old on both earth and Gemworld, and pretty much the entire cast is the same age. Her adventures bounce back between earth and Gemworld, as various characters cross-pollinate both worlds. And of course, multiple romantic entanglements ensue.

In this image: Amethyst is front and center, leading the charge. Castle Amethyst has been destroyed, and you can see Dark Opal and his bad-boy son, Carnelian, reflected in the wreckage smoke. Among Amy's merry band: The fiery Princess Turquoise, noble Prince Garnet, little Princess Emerald (Emmy), and handsome Prince Topaz. Also along for the ride is Amy's sardonic best friend, Rita. I've also given Amy a pet protector, a dragon that magically transforms into a dog back on earth.

Hope you enjoy!

I've heard that this was meant to appeal to girls.

Yeah, but like any good fantasy series, it had appeal to everyone.

Buddy, you've got to submit this to either Nickolodeon or Cartoon Network, it's perfect for a cartoon series. AND it'd attract more female viewers!

Yeah, wouldn't it? It's in DC's hands... I DID submit my proposal to them...

Ouch. To quote Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers: The waiting is the hardest part....

And it looks like Cartoon Network is already doing Amethyst shorts for its upcoming DC Nation programming block anyway.

Taffy is a dragon? I can go with that... especially with everyone else looking so awesome! Topaz and Rita look appropriately modernized while Saphire and Carnelian just look extra badass. Amy of course, is as awesome as always.

Really cool! I don't know much about the series, though I own the first 12. This looks like a cool Saturday morning cartoon.

Thanks! I experimented with changing Emmy's hair, but then she didn't look like Emmy. :)
