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)

Wanted to make something like this for awhile

Fanarts Time!

This time with R-053 or R for short by @lab-raised-steven!

I actually saw this blog before it got revamped, and hoo-boy was it a roller coaster, chalk full of thrills and angst. Truly a gripping AU that'll tug your heartstrings!

But now that the creator's back with a fresh new revamp, I wish em the very best!^^

I didn't forget Ignat.

Note: Fluffy feels no ill-will towards him but wonders what lead him to this choice of work.

Do you have some corrupted corundum designs? Aka rubies and sapphires?

Yea, had to design them if I wanted my gems to be uncorrupted

💙Corrupted Blue Pearl💙

Based in the Corrupted pearl of the game The phantom fable

Corrupted Peridot

I capitalized off the idea that the gems are kinda of like computers. The design is mainly based on drakes (the reptile) and snakes. Also the fact that most peridots have dark spots, they’re just hard to see.

did u ever watch steven universe. be honest. i love ur artstyle sm, but something about it reminds me of people who drew for that fandom. specifically ur benry design. i say that with love btw (/gen) not being a hater here in the slightest!1!

Yes!! I'm a pretty big SU fan, and have TONS of ocs I made over the years. I never posted publicly about anything SU related, though, and if I was inspired by styles its definitely subconscious, haha!! (/nm) I managed to track down my most recent SU character from last year, Hercynite, if she interests you ^^ Haven't drawn her in a HOT minute, so old art will have to do. (DISCLAIMER: First image was traced off Holly Blue as proportion practice)

Corrupted blood stone inspired by Mysticpiles

corrupted sapphire au in a nutshell

[batstabb]

Wanted to make him more draconic bc everything deserves to be dragonified

[totally-not-corrupt]

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 💕

[bitterbluebells]

Been watching SU again and decided to try my hand at a gem oc

[They're based off of Crocodile Jasper!!]

Fanarts Time!

This time with Steven from @pogostikk!

I love their lil concept of what would happen if steeb was born separated from his gem half. A very creative take, yet it still has the elements of angst and fluff. :3

It's better explained on the pinned post there. :3

Speakin' of gem half :3 probably inaccurate size since, sorry bout that- >_<
