IIIIIII AMMMMM- Making Believe I'm Sailing On The Sea!

quick re-do of the concept for "cotton candy" Dolomite! Not set in stone of course.

Utterly fascinated by their- her new form, and wanting to show it to the highest gem, White Diamond, to show her the potential fusion has. White kept her close. At first, just in case she decided this new fusion was not worth the trouble. But, after, because this fusion was helpful. And, well, a mystery that not even the great white diamond knows? She had to keep that close.

Dolomite doesn't have her cane yet and does not limp without it in this form. :^) That doesn't happen until Yellow Diamond learns not to insult or injure this fusion that is near White Diamond. Lest there be consequences.

I Expect You To Die

You must think you're so clever. I promise you, agent, Can't escape me forever! We're playing a game- You take from me, I take from you. But every game ends, And when this one is through-!

That voice in your ear, They've no chance to save you. A mere puppeteer- They only enslave you! You're a piece on a board! I bet with my wealth, my armies, and dreams; Your every success unveils still greater schemes. A lake full of acid, a drill from the sky- If you try to fight me, we'll watch your hopes die! Lasers and saw blades with sharks on standby! You're right where I want you! And this is goodbye!

(The best of the best, You'll die like the rest)

THEY SKINNED MY CHILD FOR PROFIT!

Final design for an oc I’ve had on the back burner for a bit!

This is Bow (pronounced like the clothing object) Performance. Also known as “Showtime”; no one really knows what they are, or where they came from. A few speculate they could be another cartoon come into the real world. Others think they are a corrupted fae, looking the way they do due to all the magic they’ve tampered with. 

Whatever the case, this character seems to be.... avoiding something. They hate staying in one place too long, getting jumping and complaining about how they can’t “stick to a setting” or the “story will catch up to them”. They seem to check the unlabeled book they keep with them a lot, muttering about how “their damned writer is torturing them with these plot twists” or how “unoriginal” a “development in the story” is.

Bow is a person who tries to encourage others to challenge their “story”. To break free of the “role” they are written to be. 

Basically, Bow Performance knows he’s fake. And is trying to avoid his story.

Pose practice with one of my our life mcs, Vermin (it/they)!

There he is! @questionableshadows and I have been planning this for a while- And he's finally here! Ready to be PESTERED BY THE ASKERS. (thank you line tool for letting me finish that drawing when my tablet stopped responding in the middle of lining a;lskdfja;sldfk;;;)

(reposting due to tag issues)

I thought it would be fun to draw @ask-whitepearl-and-steven ‘s Steven and my personal gem oc Dolomite interacting! A small drabble to go with this under the cut

Steven hummed to himself while holding tight onto the fidgeting Sea Glass. The crystal gems thought perhaps Adventurine had fled into the nearby woods for the hiding space, so the gems were all camping here for a few days to look for her. 

Currently, Steven had been told to stay put while the gems handled a noise that was likely to belong to a corrupted gem nearby. He knew he could fight, but would rather not fight if not necessary. So, he sat against the tree. Waiting for the gems to return.

Dolomite returned before the other gems, parting the brush with frustration - sticks in her perfect hair and scuffs over her suit. "I hate foliage."

"Dolomite!" Steven called to his room mate and.... friend? Dolomite was hard to read, being so quiet and staring at him quietly a lot. She said she knew White Diamond before he was.... this. But never said much about the before. Said that she preferred to keep those sorts of things private. Steven considered her a friend, even if she was hard to talk to sometimes. She had saved him so much, it was hard not to. "Are you okay?"

"You look like shit!" Sea Glass barked with a wide grin. 

"Sea Glass!" Steven squawked, "where did you learn-"

"Amethyst!" Sea Glass grinned up at Steven diabolically. 

"Of course," Steven sighed exasperatedly. Dolomite had brushed herself off at this point, thrown her cane to the side, and went to sit..... But instead twisted herself so she could sit upside down against a tree. Letting her legs fall forward to the ground in front of herself and folding her two sets of arms in front of her stomach. 

Steven smiled slightly at the silliness of the formal gem sitting so oddly. "I wanna do that!" CG wrangled herself out of Steven's arms and sat next to Dolomite, maneuvering so she could sit on her head as well. But, she quickly fell over with an "oof!"

Dolomite took a deep breath. In through her mouth. Out through her nose. "What are you even doing?" Steven chuckled lightly as CG tried to maneuver herself to sit on her head again. Not like she had any blood, so it wouldn't hurt her to do so.

Dolomite's eyes flicked over to Steven, before speaking tiredly, "I'm letting the light in my form rush to my gem. It gives me a little more energy to deal with this.... foliage. It can be done standing but...." Dolomite shrugged, "I thought this would be comfortable," there was a pause and a wrinkling of her nose, "It isn't." 

Steven laughed before pausing. Her gem, huh.... "Hey, Dolomite-" Steven looked her up and down. He'd never seen it before. Was it rude to ask? "Where is your gem?"

Dolomite blinked a moment. She let herself fall to the side, before writing her posture to be sitting up. She stared off into the trees. Steven sweated, seeing her distant expression. "I'm sorry- Is it rude to ask-"

"No." Dolomite interrupted, one arm moving to help CG sit on her head with support. She watched CG's happy smile for a moment as she sat oddly. "For most gems, where our gems are is a statement." She motioned with another arm, "You have a big heart, you're nurturing and kind-" She leaned forward and tapped his gem gently, "You favor thinking things through more than others. All gems wear them loudly and openly, to absorb light and to show how they may stand out from the thousands of other gems out there. But-" She looked away for a moment, "I..... Not even you have seen my gems." 

"Yeah, I haven't," Steven tilted his head, "That's why I asked where-"

"I'm sorry." Dolomite shook her head, "I meant..... Not even White saw them. Before." 

Oh. Steven swallowed. CG fell to the side again. She looked between the two before crawling back to Steven’s lap. Ignoring the serious conversation. "I kept it a secret. Keep it a secret." Dolomite did not meet Steven's eyes, looking distantly. "I don't know why. Maybe some part of me likes the air of mystery. Not even the Diamonds knew! Surely, that made me special. Made me stand out. Maybe that's what attracted her to me in the first place. My confidence to show that I was special. Like her. She never said why she kept me. She just.... did." Dolomite played with her hair for a moment. watching the white strands curl between her fingers. "Sometimes I think I was lucky. That she didn't make an example out of me. That she saw my bright-eyed loyalty to show her our new form, and eventually made me her right hand when Yellow made the position. Instead of making me her puppet."

"Dolomite, I-" Steven started, leaning forward a comforting hand. His brows furrowed a second. "Wait, 'our'?"

Dolomite smiled at Steven tiredly, “Steven- It thought you realized by now. The two eyes on one side, the four arms-” She chuckled before motioning to herself, “I’m a fusion.”

Steven stared at her in shock, before shouting so loud he would find he scared off the corrupted gem monster later-

“YOU’RE A WHAT?!”

what characters of yours can grow a beard? (sorry for the random ask Gender Wants are making me think of beards so I'm asking a bunch of people about beards)

No problem! You're in luck, I was actually just considering this. Here is a list of characters of mine that can grow a beard- and their shaving habits;

Covah: Generally does not let his beard get past a short stubble. It's very slow-growing and does not even get to stubble until after about a week. It grows weird around his scar, and he doesn't like the feel of it against his skin. So, he shaves. It would be rather fluffy if he let it grow, however! Like a soft cat.

Dottingale: It does not develop into a full beard- just some sideburns that grow down the whole side of their face. It does not meet at their chin. Dot shaves, currently, daily. Their cartoon biology causes it to grow back in full the next morning. They don't like the looks they get. The judgmental thoughts of the populace at a "feminine" person growing a beard. It makes them self-conscious. However, when they are an adult, they stop shaving their sideburns (and stop filing down their horns every morning!). The sideburns themselves feel weirdly fake, like plush fur. However, that is normal for a cartoon like Dottingale.

Helvetica: His beard only ever really grows to a dusty stubble. His position and power means he doesn't need to shave- he can just think the beard away. However, sometimes he just needs to focus his thoughts elsewhere. And, a tired stubble is upon his face. He doesn't necessarily mind having or not having it- but feels better being more "professional-looking" without the stubble. His beard is very pointy- like little knives.

Hitchcock: The only character I ever draw with an actual beard! He lets his beard do whatever it wants- It's shorter on the sides and meets into a longer "goatee" at his chin. It does not meet above his lips for a mustache. The beard itself is a little coarser than it probably should be; he doesn't care for it properly.

Percy: When he's an adult and finally on T- He likes having a nice stubble! However, it doesn't ever really get past stubble. Unfortunately, he got his mom's genes in the beard department and not his biological father's. It doesn't grow well. Percy's care routine involves balms to keep his stubble nice a soft.

And as for ocs who want a beard but can't grow one for various reasons:

Cyraeni: Mermaid biology keeps them from growing one. But it would be cool to match Dot!

Gwendolyn: Look, he wants to complete the washed-up bum look he's got goin. Might as well, right? But, he just can't. No amount of supplements or wishing will make it happen.

Zipper: Okay, look, she gets she's entirely furry. But a huge ass pirate beard would be SO COOL. Arg! Peg legs and swashbuckling!

I didn’t really feel like coloring these

Asfgjllhgdss Red Diamond is there!! Thank you so much for drawing her I??? Ffhjklllgfd,,,,

Long time no art post! (I swear I’m still alive). To celebrate Gemsona-HQ’s six year anniversary, I opened up gemsona requests for the first time in years. I originally planned to only pick a few and do very basic doodles, but I got way too enthusiastic seeing everyone’s gemsona designs and, well, here we are. :’D Better late than never, I suppose! I also got really excited when I realized I could turn this into a gemsona rainbow.

If you’d like a full-sized version of your drawing, feel free to send me a message. (Please give me credit if you use the image as an icon / header / whatever. Thanks!)

Trying to write everyone’s url got messy, so owners are listed below in order:
