1. hvngerlyOh man, we’re only halfway through Steven Bomb and I’m already questioning this theory. Especially after Keeping it together. But tbh even if it’s not true it’s a fun au so I’m keeping it. I really just want to see more of Jasper, I can sense the tragic backstory from a mile away.  ò ^ ó And I definitely didn’t get so excited about the new intro that i stood in front of the tv for the rest of the episode and forgot that i made snacks until a half hour later. 

2. Before today’s ep I would’ve told you about how it could be some internalized self hate stuff that she’s projecting. (she hates that she’s weak unfused) but (spoilers) after the gross fusions in keeping it together…yeah. BUT STILL THERE’S SOMETHING UP WITH JASPER SHE’S GOT SOME SECRETS I JUST KNOW IT.

3. crystal-hobbes​ aaa thank you so much! “it just feels /right/” THAT’S SUCH A NICE COMPLIMENT THANK YOU.

4. YES. SO MUCH EXCITEMENT. Oh man I love Steven and Connie. And I love that we’ve had both Full Disclosure and Sworn to the Sword where they both wanted to protect each other. Whether it’s platonic or romantic they’re gonna end up with such a healthy relationship it’s wonderful. But also I’m completely heartbroken over Pearl, poor thing needs some help. 

5. Thank you! uhhh… I DO have OCs but I’m super shy about talking about them and don’t draw them too much. But I’ve been making lists of their personalities traits and I’ve been thinking about being brave and posting some little character sheets of them sometime. (it might not happen until i get back from italy in the middle of july but yeah)

Thank you sweet Anons! <3 And no need to apologize for being shy, that’s what the anon option is turned on for.

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? 

yay!! thank u so much for the beautiful pearls her outfits are so cute!! i am excited to see ur future endeavours now that we've gone this far <3

Oh! Thank you! I had a lot of fun drawing her! <3

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. 

Do you think it would be okay if i drew lapis in one of the summer outfits you made? x__x theyre really cute!

Oh yes! That’d be fine with me! Please tag me if you do! <3

And thank you! 

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.
