Have you considered making a mural of Moonstone like the ones seen of the diamonds at the moon base?
@gentlemanly-gem made one of Moonstone, Orthoclase and Albite awhile back, it looks perf👌 I don’t think I could make anything as good tbh
Aw shucks, KJD, that's really kind of you to say ❤️ thanks so much!

Ready for another Gemsona Week?… What about a Gemsona MONTH?… Dorey & Celestine
★ ✩ ★ ✩ G E M S O N A · W E E K ✩ ★ ✩ ★ ✦ ✧ ✦ ✧ ✦ July 25th-31st, 2017 ✦ ✧ ✦ ✧ ✦
We’re back at it again, this time for our fourth year ♥ !! Please reblog this post to let everyone know gemweek is on! ✧ What is Gemsona Week?
Welcome to Gemsona Week! Gemweek is a fandom appreciation week for the Cartoon Network animated series created by Rebecca Sugar, Steven Universe. “Gemsona” is a portmanteau of “crystal gem” and “persona”, meaning, create your own gem characters! There are daily prompts throughout the week and the gemsona community is encouraged to interact, roleplay and create! So go make or update your gemsona! Get drawing and writing, browse the prompts and post in the tags #gemsona & #gemsona week!
♥ IMPORTANT ♥ -
No 18+ content in the tags, forum or chats please! This is an all-ages event.
It’s essential to use the tag “#gemsona week ” in the first five tags of all your gemsona week posts. I will be queueing for this blog straight from that tag! Help me find your prompt responses so I can share it with everyone!
✧ Check out the ★2017 PROMPTS & CHALLENGES page → ✧ Join the ✩ GEMSONA WEEK DISCORD SERVER! ✩ → Gemsona Week | | Gemsona Archive | | Gemsona HQ
Hi everyone! A bit unfashionably late this year, I hope you’ll forgive me! This year is crammed with prompts and design challenges, so hopefully everyone will find something that vibes with them each day. I’m doing this a little different this year- it’s more of a Gemsona MONTH than a week; I know there’s a lot of prompts to work through, so I’ll be reblogging from the tags all of August! So take your time with them, choose your favorite prompts for the day and put the rest on the back burner for later. No rush, no fuss! This year we have memes galore, an abundance of writing prompts, the Art Fusion Challenge and- you heard me right- a Gemsona Week Discord server!! Depending on traffic and demand, membership is first-come, first-served (pun intended) with a possibility of closure. So if you’d like to join up, do so quickly! We’ve got chats, galleries and rp channels just waiting for you. Head over to the Discord page to find out more and access the invite code before it expires! As always, THANK YOU for your patience and hard work, you guys make gemweek a blast every year!!♥♥ – ore

Here’s a cute little distance model and Onyx point to show that I’m not dead! :’) --- Want a gemsona mural? Commission me!

Having seen some of the fallout from the latest Steven Universe episode(s) I’ve realized something:
Before “Wanted”
Normal person: “Don’t you think you’re reading into a kids show a little too much? I mean, it’s not that deep.”
Me: “I mean, it’s got a little depth to it, but yeah, you’re right. Maybe I am looking a little too into it by attempting to analyze every line spoken and every little detail in the background.”
After “Wanted”
Me:
*constantly wants to draw things outside of my artistic abilities*
i want everyone to know i read the tags
Hey could I maybe have some advice? I have a gem character who is a coal. Her whole thing is that coals are like worker ants that periots use to mine gems for the kindergarten. So it's just a fan character I made for fun. That's not really what I need advice on though. My issue right now is people don't receive her well because coal is not a type of gemstone and "it doesn't fit with the lore" even though it's just a fan character. So is there a way I could change her to fit expectations?
My advice? Keep your original idea. I think it’s very clever and clearly something you put a lot of thought into. Fancharacters are made for fun, they do not need to be canon-compliant and it’s not anyone’s place to come at you and demand you change it. If they personally don’t think coal should be used as a Gem, that’s fine, no one is forcing them to making one. But it’s not their place to say no one can do it.
But if you want something more concrete to shush naysayers trying to ruin your fun, it’s worth noting that there are already canonical Gems that are not, in fact, gemstones. Including Pearl (not actually a gemstone, or a stone at all), Lapis Lazuli (a rock, not a gem), and Bismuth (a metal). So saying that using anything other than gemstones for Gems “doesn’t fit with lore” doesn’t even hold true in regards to the show’s actual established characters.
Further, the crew have always been very adamant that fans should create fanworks and fancharacters however they see fit. And, in fact, Ian Jones-Quartey even tweeted that any mineral is fair game for Gems
(here)
Anyways, you do you. Ignore the folks just trying to wreck your fun. They’re absolutely in the wrong here, not just in that they don’t have authority to tell you what to do, but also in that the show’s rules don’t even agree with their assertion.
To all who support writers and artists by sharing their creations
You’re not suck-ups for reblogging, or annoying us by sending asks.
We see you. And your support means the world to us.
Thank you.
We’re up to 27+ tracks so far?! 😱💿🎼 We can’t wait to reveal how many more of your fav songs are on this killer track list!
[[Ho there, followers! Sorry I fell off the face of the Earth. School's been really hectic lately with finishing off with good grades so my college doesn't consider rescinding its acceptance lol I'll be back soon!]]
New promo!
Okay let me tell y’all something
YOUR ART IS NOT AWFUL
Art is 10% talent and 90% work. Your art isn’t bad. You’re still learning. You’re still developing. If you continue drawing for a long period of time, take a drawing from something a month ago and compare it to the present. You probably improved.
Like everything, the more you practice at something, the better/experienced you will be. Don’t quit when you’ve only just begun.
Speaking from experience, you can legit start with 0 talent and still make impressive shit if you practice and work hard enough.
So like, if you have any talent at all, you’re already way ahead of where I started.
