Hey guys ! I’ve been wanting to join the forum for a while now, so yay I’m taking the leap !
Here’s a project I did last year for an Artstation challenge which theme was ‘Ancient Civilizations : Lost & Found’.
You can see the full submission here.
Here are some render tests I did for the crystal parts. I wrote a small tutorial about it, if you’re any interested by the creation steps 
Cheers !

Great concept. Its really stunning and eerie where parts are missing like the head view andback view.
Do visit her site!
Although the tutorial she mentions above uses mainly Max and plugins for it, the concept is very ZBrush-like and very well explained.
The Amethyst page itself shows more images, icluding some really outstanding preparatory drawings.
The other work is also more than worth a look!
Congrats!
Bienvenue et félicitations!
