#and hope to improve on this design

[suau-raised-by-corrupted-gems]

For a reason only known to myself I wanted to info-dump my design choice for our feral steeb.

This is a simplified pic and I'm not fully good with explaining, but bare with me;

I mean, it's all pretty obvious; and although I plan on amplifying these key traits in the near future.

On the physical side of things, I basically just took the OG future steeb and mashed in traits from Rose Quartz and his corrupted form.

I know Greg also had long hair, but it didn't have the curls like Rose does. And if I could draw hair ringlets correctly, they'd be more visible in his wild mane. And along with that comes his size; even when he was a kid, we was pretty big; just an inch or two bigger than OG classic Steven. That's because Fluffy would regrettably raid any nearby camps or civilizations for the best nutrients she could find, and once he was old enough to eat solid foods, she would hunt game animals which were high in protein.

That, and since his gem was still modifying his body to make him more adaptable to his wild environment and make him more Quartz like; he increased in size much quicker and his durability. By the time he was 16, he already towered over his father, reaching half of Rose's height. And yeah, I said eyes; I'm not good at mimicking her eye-shape yet (it'll be more obvious on older Lil Quartz, but it shows in other ways, as you've seen.

And in terms of the "corrupt form" since he grew up with those traits, it's all been significantly watered down, with most of his spikes being retractable and small, only coming out if he feels defensive or is brawling. And in terms of tusks, I know they're supposed to be at the sides of his face, but it ended up looking a bit awkward on a small human face. So those are only out when he's in full kaiju form.

As for his paws, they are still big and clumsy, but he can still operate phones and tablets easily enough without breaking them. And I know in the OG design, he had no "paw pads" on his hands of feet, but those came developed over time from being in an environment that requires walking on rougher grounds and running and scaling walls and trees.

And on the behavioral/mental side, he retains personality traits from when he was a kid, even when he's older. Despite his run in with the CGs, he's learned to be optimistic, and is excited at learning new things. (Though he's wary when it comes to Rose Quartz) And he's still very humorous, making light of certain situations, but in this realm, his humor is a bit dark at times. but he's also a bit more ambitious in this rendition, especially when it comes to proving himself and tying up any lose ends his "carrier" may have left intentionally.

He's also still quite helpful to others, though he's learned to be cautious from his Aunt Centi and to approach things carefully. But he won't dive in blindly to help either; hopefully in future posts, I'll be able to show his strategic side.

And of course, he's still got the Feral mentality of a corrupt gem, with animalistic qualities that don't really go away; from running and walking on all fours to hunting and digging for food like his mama and Aunt Tri-T taught him, something Pearl tries desperately to curve.

He's also not the one to be easy to control or follow orders; especially not by Gem Poofers Rude Crystal Gems. He's also fidgety in small spaces; growing up in such an open space, he has a hard time listening if he's somewhere he feels uncomfortable/stifled.

And if provoked, he can get a bit aggressive, but this was more prominent when he was younger. Insults and jabs towards him upset him easier when he was younger since he was still coming into himself, but when he's older, it's jabs towards his friends and family that upset him. He also hates anyone disturbing the peace in general.

And like most feral gems, he isn't too pacifistic; he will go down swinging if he needs to. Peace is always an option for him, but it all depends on whether or not the person deserves it.

And that's the end of my rambles for know, hope that made some semblance of sense.

Thanks for reading my nonsense!

design by Vec @ OnionPowder_ on twt

I feel like... there's smth about it. it's not all that good, bc the pose is a bit awkward, perspective is a nice attempt but a little off and I drew quickly without thinking, later couldn't fix it/was too lazy/had no time, but the colors, the shading... idk, I'm oddly a fan of it so I'm throwing it here.

see it as practice/warmup. I'll never get to smth better if I don't let myself fail a bunch of times first. don't be afraid of failing.

inspired by this @archivistbot post that would not leave my head until i drew it

[changingplumbob]

Oh my gosh only just queued up those last SBL posts, I completely forgot. I would like to apologize in advance for Week 16 which just has six solid days of titles then cuts for spoilers, because why do something quickly when things are complex? Anyway it won't look aesthetically pleasing on your dash but I hate spoilers with a passion so I'm putting those cuts in.

So I've been playing with some ideas for how to redo my character portraits. Do I need to redo them? No. Do I want to redo them? Yes. Example one below, feedback is appreciated especially if it's about how easy fonts are or are not to read... Oh and I'm going to need to add in somewhere a small box for who originally made the sim, me or someone else.

I will make the sexuality bubble to a better ratio when I'm not half asleep but for my sims I feel it's important there's room for their identities.

Yes she is the 110th sim I've created or played with enough to consider one of mine...

Oh yes and Coraline will need some childhood friends so if you know of anyone who does child sims please let me know.

Was doodling and ended up with a pose I wanted to actually finish. Whether or not I did it justice is like a whole other conversation that I do not wish to have rn because I am sick as heck and all the shading was done while being sick as heck 👍

Anyway I need to draw more rekrap as always. I have like meme doodles I still need to finish that I said I'd do (looking at you, rekrap weezer.... you're up next) and that gosh darn one comic page is currently untouched because life has been uh. A lot rn. But I'll get to it I promise maybe I'll stream it again when my voice isn't dying

The Ultimate Yapper

I drew these back when I was playing Ocarina of Time. 20 years later and Navi still manages to get on my nerves. I couldn't wander off in peace for a second without her telling me my main objective. Please, Navi, I want treasure first. Zelda is a strong girl. She can wait a few more minutes 🥺

I don't hate Navi btw haha. I admire her character and what she represents

[strebcr]

Yeah 😔
