Another theory on jasper; there are several types of jasper stone so maybe tiger jasper and another type of jasper fused together?

That’s a good point! (there is also ocean jasper which i think was missed opportunity for an awesome pun tbh) But yeah, I’ve actually been wondering for a while now how the show is gonna handle different variations of the same stone? There are different types of garnets and pearls and sapphires too (I would love to see a padparadscha character that is my dream chara) and about a bajillion different types of quartz and I wonder if the show will address that or if they’ll just avoid it? There’s already been hints of different colors of diamonds so maybe?

#like it's a little weird to me that the characters names are their gems after jailbreak #when it's been implied that there's multiples of each gem #like are there a million amethysts who are all named amethyst? wouldn't that get confusing? #konataotakuawesome #ask #asks

I want to reblog my art back from everyone who has ever deleted my captions and then advertised their blogs on it with stuff like •♫☼♪• and change all their links so it just goes straight to a rickroll instead of their awful blogs.

i love that pic of amethyst you did. if you have any time or inspiration could you do alternate hairstyle for any of the other crystal gems (pearl, rose, garnet)? thank you thank you!

Thank you! Actually, I originally planned to just do the Lapis outfits…but then I wanted to draw Ames…and now I have like, two outfits planned for Pearl and one for Peridot and basically I think I’ve doomed myself to draw all of them now.

If Jasper was a fusion we would see the third gem in the Malachite fusion light blob thing. In Sugilite's fusion blob you see the Amethyst, Ruby, and Sapphire gems. In Opal you see both the Pearl and the Amethyst, and when Alexandrite is breaking apart you see all 4. Jasper has no second gem, and Rose was 8 feet tall and not a fusion, so her height can't really be a defining factor of fusionhood.

eh, I guess you don’t do you? But you barely see Lapis either. -shrugs- As far as Rose goes, she’s implied to be really high ranking and she also doesn’t have the fusion eye thing going on like Jasper does. I know her height might have nothing to do with it but it’s still really interesting to me that the only other fusions we’ve seen as tall as Malachite are fusions of 3 or more gems.  (on a side note I feel like we know almost nothing about Rose yet. I want to learn more about her.) 

So maybe the Jasper is a fusion theory isn’t true but it’s still fun. I’m going to keep my headcanon unless flat out proven/disproven by the creators.

You know, I'm a bit ashamed that I didn't pick up that Malachite has six arms. Shit. Huh. Also, did you already have that other picture in your archives? Or did you draw that in the MAYBE hour since I asked? Either way, damn impressive.

Yep! Malachite is so weird I love her design. And…yeah idk how long it was after you sent that ask but yeah,  i drew it after I got home and saw it in my inbox haha. Thanks.

Hi, your art really inspires me! How old are you and where do you go to art school ?

I turned 23 in April and I graduated from the Columbus College of Art and Design.

I've been drawing for over 10 years and I didn't seem to see any progression out of it, my art doesn't looks like it's drawn by someone who spent all those time drawing, should I consider stop drawing and do something else?

What is the art of someone who’s spent 10+ years drawing supposed to look like anyway? There isn’t a set timeline for art progress, everyone is on their own schedules. It’s less about chronological time and more about quality time. How much time is spent actually drawing? studying? pushing yourself out of your comfort zone? There are people who draw every day for 8 hours a day and there are people who draw maybe once a month, you can’t expect them to make the same progress in the same time period. And neither is a bad thing tbh, everyone is different. The point I’m trying to make here is that it’s just not fair to compare yourself to some impossible to define standard of what your art is “supposed” to look like. Try looking back at some of your older drawings, I’m sure you’ve grown a lot more than you think. 

And if you haven’t? So what?! Who said you have to be constantly improving at something in order to do it? There’s no rule out there that says you have to be at a certain skill level by a certain point in time in order to draw. If you’re thinking that you want to stop drawing then I think it’s good to ask yourself what your reasons for drawing were in the first place. Do you draw because it’s fun and you enjoy it? Then keep drawing. You are not required to be good at it.

hello! i love drawing but im not good at it so i have been wondering -if i keep drawing, will i get better eventually no matter how bad i am right now? what's your opinion as an artist? im sorry this is a weird question, i love your art and have a nice day! :)

That’s not a weird question anon! I think a lot of people wonder if art is just something that’s hopeless for them and if they just don’t have the talent.

But art is a skill, not a magical gift bestowed only upon “true artists” by unicorns. Anyone can learn to draw so yes, if you keep drawing you will improve. And it has nothing to with how bad your art is to start with because everyone starts by making bad art. I wanted to write out a long answer for you but I don’t even know what else to say because the answer is just yes. If you practice regularly and try to do your best you will improve. 

tbh though anon, don’t even worry about whether or not you’ll be good later. Just have fun drawing and learning now. Do the best you can and draw the things that you want to draw and that make you happy. I’ve learned that sometimes that’s the best thing you can do.

I think one of the kindest things you can do for yourself as an artist is to accept that you will make bad drawings sometimes and just…stop caring about it. It’s not like that bad sketch you drew was your one and only chance to ever draw the thing. It’s so much easier emotionally to just say “lol what is that?” delete it and start over than it is to spend the next six hours crying about it. Once you stop treating every single thing you draw as something precious and learn to just throw stuff away it takes so much stress away. One bad drawing doesn’t make you a bad artist, or a fraud. Even the best pro artists are gonna have moments where they draw things wrong. You’re going to make bad drawings so just go out there and make them so you can move on with your life. Chances are your second attempt will be better.

I’ve cleaned this blog up a little. I’ll just be using it to post my art from now on. 

Reblogs have been moved to a sideblog. You’re welcome to follow me there if you like seeing the stuff I like. If not that’s okay too!
