Description EDIT: OKAY Y'ALL I LOVE YOU BUT LOOKING AT HOW MUCH THIS BLEW UP MAKES ME KINDA TWITCHY CONSIDERING THAT BY NOW I'VE FOUND A WAYYY BETTER WAY TO DRAW SPINEL IN MY STYLE! I'D POST A NEW PIECE, MAYBE EVEN AN EARLY REDRAW, BUT I DON'T WANNA SEEM LIKE I'M MILKING HER POPULARITY OR SOMETHING.

Whoops, looks like I hopped on a bandwagon! Oh well, might as well enjoy the ride.
Yeah, I like Steven Universe, believe it or not! I kinda dropped it ever since Season 5 started advancing and now even I can't help but notice the little flaws, but I still adore the characters, character designs, and premise.

Anyways, the Steven Universe movie was neato. Not the best I've ever seen, but still a good watch regardless!
And this gal here, Spinel... she's probably my new favorite gem. Period. She's so well written and tragically wicked, it's great! Plus, the way she's animated is absolutely gorgeous. And her design/30's cartoon aesthetic... mwah.

I messed up her boots and I'm sorry

So basically, she is stuck in insanity.

I'd reply to this with a thought, but I'm unsure if potential spoilers for the movie are welcome here. Hmmmm….

No, Einstein theorized that insanity, is doing the same thing over and over again. Until something different happens.

That's an interesting observation, tbh!

In the title I was more alluding to her song, "Other Friends" ("Oh, that's right, I heard the story over and over again!") and the fact that she spent so much time stuck up there, but that's unintentionally pretty neat

YO THIS IS AMAZING
Spinel is such a fun and bouncy character I love watching her so much and you totally captured that feeling
Well done man well fucking done

Thanks! She's an amazing character for sure and her animation is hypnotic

I'm quite proud of this but at the same time I'm a bit regretful that it's the piece that I first posted and, consequentially, blew up as quickly as it did, since I've found a much better way to draw her in my style since

Oh well!

DUDE YES
I could watch her all day, like honestly this stuff inspires me to want to improve my animations because it just looks so fun and bouncy and just AHH

You should still totally post more of her bro I would love to see

Thank you! I took full advantage of her bounciness ^^

I'm not too satisfied with the face, though, I feel like giving her that sad-eyed look that Caesar has kinda took away from her personality? I may draw her with rounder eyes in the future

Yes! The music was absolutely fantastic

Thank you so much!


And....
We should do what, now?Β Β 

If you really want to do that sometime, I'm all up for it! Maybe not today and nothing too complicated, but I'm honestly really friggin' honored that you'd even consider it

Blank-Muse In reply to Zvarricopter [2019-09-07 23:03:20 +0000 UTC]



Yeah, just hmu whenever you want to do a trade. <3 I have a trade journal that's always open.Β  Art Trades: Permanently OpenHey all!
I'm stealing this idea from Erediell so that when I'm feeling like I need a motivation boost that I can come to this journal and pick a trade to do. I'm going to do a similar journal for requests, so keep an eye out for that.
Here are the requirements for doing setting up a trade with me.
1.) You have to be a watcher of mine.
2.) You have to have an account that is older than 3 months
[Unless you are a watcher who has migrated to a new account and let me know about that.]
3.) The trade must be of a similar effort. A bust for a bust, a chibi for a chibi, etc. All will be at least flat colored.Β 
Full Bodies will be rare.
[I will not be doing full color, full background pieces unless there is a special case. This is so I can do more trades.]

4.) Do not spam. You can leave a comment with the template and I will reply if I'm interested and I will send a note.
If I don't reply, that doesn't mean

This looks awesome, I really love how she looks in your style!! That expression is just perfect <3

Seeing this inspired me to draw her too :>

Thank you! Her face was a bit of a pain to work out (it's her... face mask eyebrows) but I suppose I'm somewhat satisfied

Oh my... I never knew I'd inspire anyone :')

Yeah! As soon as I saw her character design I thought "okay I NEED to see this film now"

Turns out she's got quite the uh, fanbase...

that's what i thought when the teaser first dropped.. ah, such a painful but very steven universeish wait!
i've been reading meta from people about the movie but i haven't seen anything about her that seemed out of the ordinary, what have they said this time?

I used to really like SU (the fandom kind of ruined it for me :V)
I have yet to see the movie, but I really don’t get the hype around her???Don’t kill me please ;_;

Despite that, I love this picture, the expression is perfect, and I just can. Not. Get. Over. How wonderful your shading is and and all that ;u;

Zvarricopter In reply to WoolMasterLeel [2019-09-07 22:08:29 +0000 UTC]

I can understand that, I drifted away from the show as well.
It's okay! The reason why she's hyped up so much is mostly because of her characterization, I think. Plus, she's a new gem, and when those are revealed fans have a habit of going nuts.

Thanks! It was really fun to work on, in spite of it not really being anything too major.

It was a neat show at first, I just feel like the ending was too abrupt (was that even the ending?) And the show was dragged on for far too long

No problem! ^^

sourcreamery In reply to WoolMasterLeel [2019-09-07 23:41:56 +0000 UTC]

su's original script was set for five seasons because the crew wasn't sure if it would make it further than that (at least to my knowledge). change your mind was written to go big sorta like a series finale whether it would be or not but the show ended up being successful enough to get a movie and at least a sixth season (and maybe more!)
the crew has said the story as we know it is over and things will be different from now on but i guess we'll just have to see

Ah, makes sense I guess. Like I said, I used to love the show. I don’t hate it now, I still like it, but all the filler episodes where so… draining, for me at least

sourcreamery In reply to WoolMasterLeel [2019-09-09 20:11:32 +0000 UTC]

i've always been obsessed enough with the show to not mind the filler, yet even i was surprised to find out how little of it there was compared to the rest of the episodes once they were counted up
i think the hiatuses and quick bombs of plot stuff still managed to make the filler feel more drawn out for me

Zvarricopter In reply to WoolMasterLeel [2019-09-07 22:14:07 +0000 UTC]

It did suffer from some seasonal rot, unfortunately. And that wasn't actually the ending! It has another season in store (just one more), so I hope some loose ends get tied up.

Thanks!
The writers did a REALLY frickin' good job portraying her issues in a serious and actually kinda realistic manner.Β 
I feel a bit strange whenever someone refers to her as just being "crazy", because, in reality, she's just so much more than that.

kittynightcore In reply to Zvarricopter [2019-09-07 22:50:58 +0000 UTC]

Yeah they really did their research. I don't know if it's like this with real people, but in my experience in animal rescue she portrayed a lot of traits that abandoned pets have

Zvarricopter In reply to kittynightcore [2019-09-07 23:07:21 +0000 UTC]

People say that she's got a lot of connections to Borderline Personality Disorder (difficulty controlling her emotion, bouts of anger followed by intense shame and regret, self-image issues, and a massive fear of abandonment), and, in all honesty, they seem rather accurate.

I've never heard of that comparison before, and, in all honesty, that makes the whole thing even sadder.

Yeah the attaching to one person, and getting legit hysterical if they leave for even one second. Being really reluctant to leave the things or places they're attached to. It was really heart-wrenching to watch this movie lol
