A bunch of sketches of gems/fusion and two fantrolls

Teen!Steven  and the Zoomans

My trash self can’t stop working on stories....

So here’s an artwork for another SU AU I’m working on. 

Im more sharing this because I’m proud of the artwork but I thought I’d give you some context. 

This is a drawing of basically what happened when my Homeworld raised Steven went to the human Zoo for the first time. Also what I imagine would happen in Canon!Steven went there when he was older. I swear nothing inappropriate happened here lol

I mean, a NEW, HANDSOME, YOUNG MAN arrives in the zoo you KNOW they’re all gonna be all over that trying to convince him to “choose” them.

(Also OWO is that a pearl lurking in the background?)

I plan to share more on the au soon but for now enjoy this artwork and awkward Steven. Or send in questions if you’re impatient. I don’t judge

(please send in questions)

I got an idea for a Steven Universe Fan Comic I want to make but I need background gems! Specifically Spinels but all types would be welcome.

This comic would take place between the movie and SUF.

If you’d like to see your gem in it you can send me a ref and some basic info! Either in dm, by tagging me, or as a submition! (I’ll be sooooo surprised if someone actually responds but I have my fingers crossed)

I draw gems. It’s what I do.

So here’s a gem couple I started awhile back but never finished....until now.

Meet Jasper and Aquamarine, a loving couple despite Homeworld’s stigma (pre Steven of course).

Aquamarine is very EMO and Jasper is very joyful. A real dark one falls for sweet one couple trope.

Here’s some more Bixbite featuring more of her gem kind.

She’s definitely not as diplomatic as her sisters and prefers to just tell them she hates them instead of pretending like they do.

Sometimes is hard to hang it with someone just like you. Now imagine a whole room full of them.

Info on Velvet Sapphire?? She’s lovely btw

Thank you so much! I am so happy you’re interested in my gem(s)! Ask and you shall receive...

Velvet Sapphire was created for one Fuschia Diamond on the Gemsona amino which I will link here. This Diamond is known for creativity and her matronly/motherly attitude towards her court and fellow diamonds.

I took a similar approach to Velvet as she is the typical “mom friend” and, though small, she demands a certain amount of respect. She cares for the gems around her, storing all sorts of seemingly random items in her gem “just in case”.

She often takes it upon herself to handle misbehaving gems and, much like children, she often puts them in “time outs” in her time out bubbles for a short period of time. She does let the zircons and jaspers handle the criminal activity of course but not without delivering her own punishment as well;

The patented(lol), Look of Disappointment.

Just like most real moms and kids, its one thing to make mom made its a whole different story when you disappoint her. And that applies here as many gems in Fuschia’s court hate this look more than the bubbles. Especially her own Ruby guard.

She has three Ruby guards all from the same vein in the same kindergarten. The trio (basically triplets) act as her own children. Rambunctious and playful like most RUbies, they’ve seen the inside of the Time Out Bubble many times. If they knew what a mother was, they would agree that Velvet is like a mother to them both in action and relationship.

Like a real mom, Velvet has a LOT of stuff to remember. Meetings, names, gems, stations, events both future and past, her head is full of things she needs to know. This fact, plus the fact that she practically lives in her future vision (she likes to study possible timelines as a hobby) makes her EXTREMELY forgetful. It’s not unusual to see her rushing to meetings or doing something after its due to be done. Ever since she got her Rubies this hasn’t been as much of a problem as they remember a lot for her.

I honestly love her design and her rubies a lot more than I expected. I’m gad you like her too!

2 New-ish Gems I made. Meet Bixbite and Pink Sapphire.

Bixbite is a super high ranking gem, higher than sapphire, who helps run a space station for the Authority. She’s a very blunt character and, though she means the best, is generally rude and almost careless about what she says and does. She has literally no tact and just says things as they are or appear to be.

Sapphire works as an underlying to Bixbite. The stations resident sapphire and Bixbite’s best friend and advisor, she is the more diplomatic of the two. Her job mostly consists of smoothing the feathers Bixbite ruffles and apologizing for her bluntness.

The two are practically inseparable.

Bixbite is have the size of the average Sapphire.

My Diamondsona, Silver Diamond. A temperamental gem, she wasn’t incredibly close the the main four (canon) diamonds and, when Yellow sensed the seeds of a rebellion in her, was forced to flee Homeworld with only a handful of gems by her side. This group included Rue (by) the head of her personal Star Ruby guard, and Red Beryl who was a caring shoulder-to-cry on but was still a fierce soldier.
