#had to repost cuz smth went wrong

[dawdlecentric]

Working on smth else atm (might post it here too when I finish :>) but for now, thought I'd share some of my Spinel fan-arts from my sketchbook

These are one of my early fan-art of Spinel a month(?) after watching the movie

I don't know where I was going with this piece, thought I try a temporary "art style" but honestly I just made her really floofy and add some unnecessary details on her. I kinda liked it tho but it's not the style I'll be using all the time to draw her. The SU style is much more easier anyway 😅

I had a lapse from drawing SU but seeing Spinel put me back on track

Here are just some of my thoughts about Spinel like any other blog would share but would have better takes, don't mind me :)

At the start, my impression on Spinel was indifferent seeing her in the trailer, just another typical villain gem bound to destroy Earth and Steven's life. But once I first watched the movie, I loved everything about her!

Here's some few important points I thought of atm of why I do but tbh there are a LOT more points which is not enough to describe how much I love about Spinel

Her debut song (Other friends is such a bop! And her entire debut scene (including her song ofc) before she got poofed was so phenomenal and I can't get enough of it. It's just...amazing!

Her design (smth about it that feel so off/unsettling yet intriguing first time I saw it)

Her movement (I still can't get over how fluid the animation is done for her)

I mean, this ^^ scene in particular amaze me so much, the first and now every time I watch it. It just made me go :000 😌👌👌👌

Her reset form (a BIG turn for this character that I never really expected, and in that instant I fell in love with this sweet lil' noodle baby)

Her backstory (it absolutely tore my heart and it's so sad how her expression shift from yearning to wistful to heartbroken before and in the midst of Drift Away. I cried the first time I watch that scene (and for a long time ever since watching SU) and up to this day, it still make me sad/cry no matter how many times I watched it. That scene is my fave cuz the profoundness of it just tugs at my heart

Her character overall (I was really impressed how the crewniverse build up her character. She wasn't just a straight-up villain and neither was she a good gem as whole. The thing is that her character shifts a lot and you wouldn't know at first which side she's actually on. Even at the end of the movie, she wasn't straight-up "redeemed" right away. She said it herself that she had a lot of work to do to make a change and make up for all she's done. And same with her healing, it's on uncertain terms at the end of the movie but seeing her on Homeworld Bound, her healing process did take effect. Even though the scars of her past still remains, she chose to move on, change for the better and be content of who she is now)

Wowee! Didn't expect this art post to become a Spinel appreciation post but what the heck, most ppl do it too right? But some of y'all might think, "who is this weirdo gushing over Spinel like the movie just premiered?!" Welp, the thing is I'm such a padparadscha when it comes to SU hype and it actually takes me a VERY LONG TIME to process and take in the aftermaths of a single episode, so what else could the movie have done to me? Heheh...if most of y'all can't get over the fact that SU ended, I still can't get over from the movie lol 😅 that's just me
