Gemsonas | Angel Aura Quartz 10 Jan 2018
Angel Aura Quartz came about from a growth miscalculation. Originally designed to be a special, light bending warrior, the gems came out less bulky and militaristic as their Quartz siblings. The Diamonds realised this blunder and the small batch was shared between White and Pink Diamond, going to White Diamond fully after Pink Diamond's shattering. After much debate on their purpose, it became clear that the Gems had a knack for creative and artistic activities. And it was this knack that saved them all from being shattered. One of the gems, who goes by Angel, is a bit more of a "space cadet". She is often late and has a bad habit of being quite a bit of a brat when it comes to rules and regulations. She fits in quite nicely with the rest of the Angel Aura Quartzes, but often finds herself drifting off and hanging out with other, more "lower tier" gems. Her best friends being a Jet and a Black Pearl (who she affectionally calls "BP"). Angel has gotten into trouble for hanging out these Gems, but has fought with other Gems about how ridiculous it is that they must act a certain way due to their Gem genus family. And while Jet has trouble going against the rules, she appreciates that Angel doesn't see standing or stance in the social hierarchy, choosing to be and hang out with Gems because of their soul instead. Angel's "weapon" is a long Shaolin Kung Fu inspired chain whip. She seldom uses it as an offensive weapon, the final chain at the end most of the time dull. However, she has been able to change the weapon's final point to be sharp if she were ever to need to actually do damage.
A/N
I had such an urge to draw her last night. I think that it's cause I had a dream Wednesday night about her and Lars hanging out. I didn't want to do a full body, but I might later on in the week next week. I just wanted to get the general look of her down up top. The best way that I can describe her body type is that she is tall, because Quartz, but she is leaner. More like if Lapis or Pearl were as tall as Jasper. Body type definitely was inspired by the taller, leaner, sassy Jasper from the Human Zoo episodes. Her gem is located right above where her ear would be on her temple-ish area on the right side (yes yes, I know, bit on the nose with the whole “artist gem has her gem on the right side of her head cause she’s right brain” thing but I love symbolism lol). Due to her planting process, the Angel Aura Quartzs' gems still have a crystal/rock-esque look similar to this or this. I have one other Gemsona that kinda just came about from my super original idea of twin Gems. So I might draw her later along with the Black Pearl that runs with them as well, but for right now, here is my "actual" Gemsona, Angel.
