Description

Hey look, more Steven Universe fanart with a horrible outline job.

This description will contain a few minor spoilers for a few episodes, including from the leaked Steven Bomb.

So as some of you know, I really like this show, and like many other fans, I got really curious about the Gems Bismuth was inquiring about. As Bismuth rips up Steven's floorboards, she asks, "So where are the others? Crazy Lace? Biggs? Snowflake?" These are all Gems, and are speculated to be corrupted or possibly shattered, either way, victims of the Gem War. In a later episode, we are introduced to a few corrupted Gems in the Great North. The orange one resembles Biggs Jasper, suggesting that this beast is the former Crystal Gem. The blue one resembles blue crazy lace agate, suggesting that this beast is the former Crystal Gem Crazy Lace. I realize this after I'm 85% done with this drawing. I probably will go back and change the skin and gem to make her match since, let's be real, 1) that's probably what that corrupted gem is, and 2) this design is way too complicated to be an actual show design. I pulled colors from Bismuth and the corrupted Gem for Bismuth and Biggs.

One of the corrupted Gems in Jasper's army/zoo is called "cobblestone gem monster" on the Steven Universe Wiki, and is described as, "speculated to be Brown Snowflake Obsidian". I swear if that is confirmed I am going to lose my mind.

Biggs Jasper - Gem and skin pattern modeled after the orange Great North corrupted Gem, thought by fans to be Biggs Jasper. Body modeled after the Jasper we all know and love or hate with zero in-between. I took the colors from the beast and Jasper.

Snowflake Obsidian - body type inspired by other types shown in show. No reference because obsidian is not a Gem type yet shown in show. Color palette taken from real life snowflake obsidian. This one is my favorite.

Crazy Lace Agate - body type inspired by Holly Blue Agate. Skin pattern modeled after and colors taken from real life crazy lace agate. Outfit, hair, and face designed to look "crazy".

My descriptions are always "here's how I made this art and why it is bad".


As usual the background was the most fun to make. I should just do those.

I might have to lighten up Snowflake's skin color so the outline is actually visible. As I'm looking at it, I can't see her lips, smile, nose, outline of her Gem, anything. And I think I'll leave Crazy Lace alone because I found out about this gem called ocean jasper, which the Great North beast resembles more than it resembles blue crazy lace. Look these gems up, they are really weird!
