Hi Steven Universe community how ya’ll been
Anyways so I was reminded about the existence of SU:F, rewatched it, and thought Steven’s corrupted form looked kinda weird so I decided to redesign it entirely!
Breakdown of my design choices below the cut
I know a lot of people wanted the giant head in the intro to be a giant worm or some kind of multiple armed centipede dragon but why is Steven’s corrupted form reptilian anyways? It’s to my understanding that most of the gems that came from Pink Diamond’s essence were some variation of quartz gems (the Amethysts, the Jaspers, the Rose Quartzes). When you look at their corrupted forms, they all seem to have a similar look. A quadruped dog-beast creature with hand-like front feet, hoof-like back feet, long hair running down their backs and tail, and horns protruding from their body.
If all these gem types that originated from Pink Diamond’s essence share these things in common, why doesn’t Steven’s corrupted form? This instead of reptilian, I changed Steven’s corrupted to be more mammalian and echo some of these features. In addition, I also wanted to include the rough, discolored patches of skin that corrupted quartz gems seem to have.
Rose is seemed to have a love for lions, so much so that she created Pink Lion. Thus, I feel like that would also reflect on Steven’s corrupted form (lion traits).
For special abilities, I thought about giving him wings, but decided not too. Pink Lion and Lars gained many different powers after their resurrection via Pink Diamond essence (portal roar and walk on water), so I feel like it’s logical for the person whose gem these powers originated from should also have these abilities. Not sure if he would have pocket dimension hair because he can’t exactly go inside his own hair (Lars tried and failed).
Oh yeah I know it doesn’t look like it, but Steven’s corrupted form is still the same size as canon. And yes I gave him corruption scars because all the healed corrupted gems seem to have them so I found it weird that Steven never got any when he was healed by diamond essence. (Yes I let him keep the tail, no I will not elaborate)

Haven't drawn Jasper in too long. She used to dominate my sketchbooks and the margins of my notes for class. But I still think about her 💕
