[OOC] We Are the Crystal Gems

[Loony]

@21308 O///////O friends please how do I compliments

Hahaha, yeah, our group is filled with shortstacks. And I guess Evenkite isn't the only fae-like one in the group, though I guess imp-like would be more suitable, since she's also got a few witch-like things going for her. But yeah, thanks for the description!

@Loony

I just know I wanted Aqua to be taller than 5 foot...not really sure how tall I should go on her XD

[Loony]

@Akayaofthemoon If I draw them as chibis, I don't really have to take height into account, so that's alright. I mean, I can, but lots of chibis are drawn so that everyone's height is uniform.

Let's draw them as chibis. Give Evenkite and Emerald the false feeling of not being shortstacks.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Loony

That sounds wonderful ^-^

Really wish I could decide on a height for reference in the RP though XD oh well...

[Loony]

@Akayaofthemoon It's fine~

Also, would @HaltingBlooper give me a little more description for Emerald? His build and hair, perhaps, assuming he has the latter? Because if not, I'm going to give him Emerald's hair from the Pokémon Special manga, don't say I didn't warn you. XD

[Pathfinder]

Oh snap we doing Art talks! Art is so gosh darn rad, I'm sure whatever you do it'll be sweet!@Loony

[HaltingBlooper]

Build? Pretty thin. Hair, I haven't decided.

[Akayaofthemoon]

I love art though I am not very good at drawing it unless it is pencil or charcoal. It is how I do my best shading ^-^

[21308]

@Akayaofthemoon I love it too but I just kind of suck. Maybe I can start tracing or something in between posts when I'm on here, could be a good way to be productive when I'm waiting for stuff to happen.

Also, Spinel might just be beginning to think that her names for the other gems are their actual names.

[Pathfinder]

I'm just not good at drawing people, animals, or even objects. It's kinda like an abstract thing, I haven't actually sat down and drawn something seriously in like two years though.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@21308

Yeah, I am not sure how gems learn of their name or if someone picks names for them based on looking at the gem. Maybe after a time they just know what their names are...

[Loony]

@Akayaofthemoon I'm guessing they'd learn after leaning which gemstone they possessed by an older gem; Aquamarine would probably know, I'm guessing? Evenkite probably learned her name upon her brief meeting with Talc, before she, you know, left and then died. XD

@Loony
"Don't worry Evenkite! You are strong, IN THE REAL WAY!!!"

[Loony]

@21308@Pathfinder@Akayaofthemoon I honestly just mostly doodle, because outlining stuff tends to not go well unless I go digital, and digital art is just so much more time consuming. Either way, I'm honestly not very good and know little to nothing about art; all I have going for me is practice. Plus, chibis are the only thing I feel good at, and even still they're mediocre at best. XD But I hope you like my drawings nonetheless. I'd love to see some of yours one day.

I made a few chibis [Johnny, Aquamarine, Eve, Spinel, Emerald, an obligatory Talc, and one of my brother's gem OCs (technically was mine first but I let him borrow the concept of Galena)], though I'm not sure I want to outline them. I might make cartoon portraits of them all later, though, and maybe I'll outline those?

[Loony]

@Pathfinder Evenkite is confused and slightly suspicious of this compliment.

Gosh Eve, please just take the flippin' compliment. Then again, that's a little hypocritical of me to say. XD

[Pathfinder]

You do you, I'm just excited that somebody made Johnny art.

[Pathfinder]

Eh, it gave me an excuse to post that song which is my favorite so far. Mostly for that guitar/piano, headcanon for how Johnny plays guitar by the way, 80s speed metal for the win.

[21308]

@Akayaofthemoon They seem to be pretty solidly using cartoon logic in the show, so there's probably nothing wrong with each gem learning in their own way. I mean, since Garnet and Amethyst have known each other for thousands of years and fought together, there's a pretty good chance that they've been able to form Sugilite for a very long time. The guy the gemstone is named after was born in the 1800s, so did she have a different name in the past or something?

@Loony Wow, you've already done some? That's pretty generous, I sort of feel bad that you aren't getting paid.

[Loony]

I honestly want to get better at cartoon; even drawing chibi now seems off. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love drawing chibi, but I feel cartoon leaves a lot of extra room for expression, though the simplicity of chibi is very appealing as well. But ye, I'll try to get something up eventually. ^ ^"

Johnny's legs were cut off because I drew him too low to the bottom of the page before I realised it was too late... ; v ;

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Pathfinder

I agree! I think it will be awesome to see them all as chibis!
