Apophysis challenge#143 by

"Spherical Gems"

For this week's challenge, I went digging through the dA archives for a tutorial to work on. First of all, we've had an intense challenge the past few times, plus that green color has probably damaged all of our vision, so I thought a "lighter" tutorial challenge is fitting for this week. As with all the tutorial challenges, take your time to really learn the style and then create something based off the tutorial that is all your own. There are no other restrictions this week.
