Description
Her broadsword is shown here in true relative size to her. Yeah. There's a reason she changed it. -u-I'm sure her uniform is not lacking in showing her personality. How many pretentious characters does Cloudy have, you ask?
... a lot.
Here 's the icon I made for her, if you want a little bit more info.
Switched up her colour palette again, but I'm pretty sure this is the final. Have a flat colour ref sheet for this jerk. (She's a smol. Smol anatomy is difficult for me to draw. >n<)
I'm going to try and get one of these done for each of my major gems; so... Dio, Bronze, Onyx, Io, Zircy and Chara. Eughf, that's a long list.
I have a full shaded version with some additional stat stuff is here ! I may have also abused the glow effects. We'll see.

I quite like her outfit actually, it features a lot of design concepts you might see used so feels comfortable and like you you get to grips with it easily which helps people settle into liking that character quicker. But it has a couple of tweaks you don't really see around, like the extra line on the shouldering point and the extra bit of dark material going down from the mid section which all helps break the design slightly (:
(I also really like her screens, they look cool! Plus her cut is pretty unique to see)

Yeah, I always have a lot of trouble trying to take the classic Homeworld uniform and add unique elements, since I don't just want to repeat prior used concepts, but I also want it to have some connection back to the show. Celestine's is quite a bit more detailed than what most small gems would have; she's no longer loyal (was she ever in the first place?) to the Diamond authority, but likes to make herself feel important by having an important-looking uniform. There's some other reasons as to why she still wears the uniform at all, but those include some spoiler-y stuff. c;
Her screen shape right now is just a placeholder, but thank you for the nice comment. ^u^ She can summon an array of different hologram types, dependent on the piece of tech she's currently connected to.

Awe cool, personally I'm one of the artists that like to step away from the canon Homeworld type quite far, I hardly ever show the colour of their diamond cause it can clash with pallets and such - I found it more restrictive than I wanted and preferred to instead create different uniforms for different gem types only keeping in mind the theme of the HW uniforms
Though that's how I see it I still respect good designs that are closely linked to the original uniforms and still stand out, She does that a lot better than ones I see most of the time so that's really good!

Oooh gosh, I can relate to the palette clashing. -n- Often I'll desaturate or alter the hue slightly to fit better, though the colour is still obvious. I do tend to divert more from the show's stuff than this, but in terms of the symbols, which diamond each character worked under plays an important role in their backstories, so I wanted to make it obvious. For the majority of my gems, though, I definitely like playing with new concepts; it'll probably become far more prevalent as I start revealing characters unaligned with the diamonds.
Thank you kindly for the nice comment! I really love how you design your characters' uniforms, as well! So many new elements I haven't seen before, and I definitely like how you depict their Homeworld background without having it be glaringly obvious. c:

Yeahh though it makes me respect the crewnive's design skills, they don't just take the gem (metaphysical) properties into character design but also all the gems under a certain diamond are gems whose scheme would fit their diamond's colour; Peridot, Jasper, Topaz for example all are close to/suit the yellow diamond, the Famethyst with Blue's too! They seriously have some skill and forethought
Yeah! unaligned characters always seem to be a challenge for a lot of artists, some make new factions with a symbol (some look good, others seem a little tacky somehow) or they just go without a symbol and leave them plain (which can be good but when they make groups and each gem has a different theme it just seems a little mismatched)
Maybe that's a little harsh look at it..
But I'll also be really interested to see what you come up with!

Definitely! I love the crewniverse's designs. I thinkkkkk Celestine is the only gem I have that doesn't have her Diamond fit her colour scheme, other than like... the red gems. 'Cause... what can you do with them, now that Pink's not an option? But there is a very good reason for why her Diamond doesn't match up. I just haven't revealed it yet. c;
When I originally made my group of gems, I was planning on slotting them into a new faction as well, but I ended up deciding I wanted to try out something new. Though most of them have different themes, the mismatching in this case is purely reflective of how heckin' badly their personalities clash. This team ain't your typical group of misfits who become the heroes. There's a lot more going on behind the scenes (which I'm hoping to convey somehow? Thinking of making some comics with them).
Everyone has their own perspectives! But I do gotta say, it is immensely tough to be unique with how popular this fandom is. I'm hoping my gems have something to set them apart, but I did attempt to stuff a bunch of headcanons into canon stuff and then release the chaos onto them, so I dunno yet. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
