Description I loved the new episodes. They were amazing. I feel like the off color gems were a bit overshadowed by the reveal of Pink Diamond's design though. Rutile has got to be my favorite off-color gem.

Two heads, one gem, no fear.

Heheheheh, right there with you on that Rutile Twins love there Probe100 ! *high fives*

Well even with the Pink Diamond design, still say they are definitely a very amazing bunch of character both the Twins and the rest of the Off-Colors.  Rather like there continues to be more variety with the show and its characters compared to some shows that only have the same 2-4 bad guys and they call it a day, lol.

On that note, really impressive stuff on what you did here with these cuties.  You did a very good thing making them into your own style and along with keep their tall and twin nature to them, really enjoy the smaller parts that stick out bit more from the look of their eyes to even the anatomy itself.  On the show they're a bit more jagged and sharper to look at and even the eyes again are nothing compared to what you have here.

You took well into their looks and made it better to be honest.  Personally still can't get lack of missing arms but it definitely does get your brain going to make it work out even without them.  And good show on the arms you did include though I will mention to keep practicing with hands.  They're a tricky bugger but I think you're doing way better than I was when doing everything traditionally.

On top of that, big cheers to what beauty the coloring and the background work shows off here.  Things from the yellow of the eyes is very wonderful to take in as with the iconic scene of the abandoned part of the gem colony with all the gem holes in the walls.  You certainly did your research and not to mention some good perspective to boot.

You even well matched the colors of them both to their show's counterparts and another quick suggestion to adding a small shadow beneath the feet to better "root" them into the ground and see where they're being placed.  Don't worry though, I think this picture is plenty good enough and your work definitely shows some really great dedication/effort.  Keep it up Probe100  and more power to the twins of Rutile. ^-^

*high fives back* Thank you so much! Hands really are a tricky thing to master. I'll keep the advice about the shadow in mind, it's good advice. Always nice to see someone who knows how to give constructive criticism.

Yeah, it took ALOT of practice on my own end to get the way hands function and even today they can get really troublesome!  Important part is to keep being sure to always draw them and use your own hands (and a mirror) if you ever find yourself stumped.  

And just keep practicing and tinkering away with different ways to draw your art.  Just be SUPER wary on not comparing yourself to other artists.  Learn some neat idea from references and move along and focus on how to improve yourself.  Yikes, sorry for the yammering here!  Keep drawing, Probe!!! ^O^

Lord knows I'm always practicing, especially with hands, and I'm trying to draw more, different poses too. Even though sometimes it's impossible to NOT compare yourself to other artists, I try not to. Also, sometimes yammering is a good thing. Thanks for the advice, it's always appreciated! You do you Timmy!

OH GOD, even for myself there are some times where getting lost into another's work can really put a damper on a fun/experimental sketch.  You'll learn to trust yourself and with all that practice get that feel of the natural way you render out the human body and it's anatomy, Probe.  And I'll be sure to do myself, you do you and hopefully we won't do each other. *laughs into eternity*

Keep up the damn good work Probe! *shakes hand*

I'm sure that I will, and I'm sure that you will. After all, you know what they say: "Be yourself, everyone else is taken." *laughs into infinity*

Keep up the good work too. *shakes hand*
