This is the reason for the radio silence.

Even though I haven't touched Steven Universe at all recently, I found out I like... WRITING. Do you realize how insane that is!?

If I can make this method work for writing a fanfiction... we can officially START DOING STUFF.

The problem is that we still don't have a timeline. So here's the question...

For the last weeks I've been writing like 7 scripts for possible YouTube videos.

The cool thing is that I just have to talk to myself out loud and then write an approximation of what I said. Rewriting that stuff into an actual script is much more mechanical than I thought (which is insanely good news, since it's not dependent on my bursts of inspiration).

It sounds easy when I say it now, but 3 months ago it seemed impossible.

I started drawing again

I'm working on Steven's design and drawing him from multiple angles. When I have a model sheet I will update

Also, next year I will be free in the afternoon so I'll probably be able to do more things in general.

every once in a while I remember that Steven Universe Future exists, then I get really angry and then depressed

[the-new-blue-court]

I'm currently hyperfixating on other things, that's why I haven't posted

I am no longer dead!

The exam i've been studying for is OVER! (I hopefully passed, but I can't say yet)

I can finally start cooking again

[the-new-blue-court]

I'm still studying a lot and I don't feel particularly inspired, but I managed to make something

I just need to finish an arm, and then I'll post it. It's nothing mindblowing but it's important for the future of the AU

Character progression

I'm kinda convinced that once we manage to decide what happened before Pink's "shattering" me might be able to simply... figure out the rest along the way (provided, of course, that we know in which direction to take the characters)

Sorry for the silence, it's exam season. I'm not dead

I'VE SOLVED MOTHER OF PEARL

Her design now works, due to two very important changes. She's also way easier to draw.

Also we were studying Cephalopods last week, and our professor showed us what the shell of a nautilus looks like, and guess what it's made of? Yeah, the universe sent me a signal.

I also found out mother of pearl is made of Aragonite crystals, which sounds cool, so that could potentially be the actual name of the fusion. Who knows...

[the-new-blue-court]

The biggest challenge right now is simplifying the design of certain characters.

When I did stuff with no intention of making a comic, I added everything to the mix knowing that I would draw that character once and then get bored of them.

[the-new-blue-court]

Even though we are far from done with the timeline, we are getting close to having enough material for a "first season", which would hypothetically be published as short comics and/or written chapters depending on the amount of inspiration.

[the-new-blue-court]

I'm experimenting. It's probably just attachment talking (and the fact that I spent so much time on this drawing) but I don't think it's that bad. The biggest problem is her face, which I'm working on. I'm still drawing a sketch to see if there are small elements I want to change (and to use it as a model sheet, even though I already drew a simplified Madreperla a year ago).

You know what? I'm gonna post it.

I've made some progress with the timeline, but I kinda have Post Completion Depression (I hyperfocused on Variscite, and now that she's done I don't know what to do). So I'm gonna try something different

[the-new-blue-court]

This is gonna be especially hard because, as I said before, I've had her design in my head for years and I need to change it. It's not that I've never been able to draw her, it's just that her design is bad yet I got attached to it.

Karen/Madreperla/Mother of Pearl it is!
