Description
Yeeeeessss. This turned out so good! I finally drew this design again and it felt awesome! Kyanite's corrupted form makes me sooooooo happy! My poor baby though, she's really not in good shape in this piece. I promise I'll draw her a lot happier next time!This is for 's Steven Universe OC Contest that focuses on Gem Corruption. The details of the contest can be found here so go check it out if you're interested!
--------------------------------------------
In another life, there is a Kyanite who never reached Earth, who never found the Crystal Gems and never discovered friends that accepted her. Having fled from the Homeworld, she drifted, scared and alone, through the cosmos, haunted by the voices of the other Gems.
Worthless. How did such a useless gem come to possess such a dangerous power?
She will never amount to anything...
She's a danger to herself and everyone here! We would be better off if she had never been formed...
She snapped beneath the weight of their ridicule. All the frustration, all the bitterness and agony from their emotional abuse that she had kept bottled up burst forth. Her skin turned black, like the void of the coldest reaches of space, and crystals erupted from her flesh. She became the Rift Walker, a silent, empty creature that stares forlornly from dark corners, never attacking unless provoked. Kyanite's own lack of confidence of controlling her teleportation abilities crosses over to this form; it jumps erratically, there one second and gone the next, taking with it chunks of anything that was near it when it teleports.

This looks like a cross between a gem monster and a heartless.

. . .
I know it's been awhile, but HOLY CRAP THIS LOOKS AWESOME!
I love the set-up and the colours and your style and everything! I'm entering the contest too (posting (one of?) my entry(/ies) tomorrow haha) but now I don't think I stand a chance. This looks simply amazing!
Also poor Kyanite... The story's rather sad and depressing, but it's a really cool concept that led to a super awesome design/drawing!

Thanks friend! I'm pretty happy with it, though I feel bad torturing my poor Kyanite like that.
I look forward to seeing your entry! I'm sure it'll be awesome!

We really don't know how a Gem becomes corrupted. We don't know if it is them becoming really sad, or if it's something going wrong with their shapeshifting, or what.

It's all just speculation on my part, but to me it makes sense for an overflow of negative emotions to cause a gem to corrupt. I've seen others do it when their gem becomes cracked or something similar. But that's the beauty of having no canon explanation; we get to make up our own!

Yea I agree. Corruption seems like having the gem cracked, but not really physically, just emotionally. That's why they haven't found a way to fix them yet.

Exactly! If it were simply a matter of a cracked gem, Rose Quartz would have been able to heal them with her tears. It's gotta go a lot deeper than that.

I just really hope that your idea of it doesn't get "overrriden" by something that happens in a later episode.

If that happens, oh well. I've had fun with this either way!
