Made. submas gems. This is for an au my partner and I are working on tho but I will show you guys :-]

They’re Hornblende(s?), chose this bc apparently they can be found in railroad ballast.

They’re basically train conductors who transfer large amounts of gems to either other planets or (in this case) the Gem War. One of them got corrupted and the other is. somewhere ! LMAO!

Also made Elesa. as a gift, she’s a scapolite :-]]] kinda based on the ones in Gem Galaxies tho

Will update w Ingo corrupted form when I get around to that

Also may redesign the twins a bit they’re kinda concepts rn so :-]
