New art of "Shy" Lapis, the Lapis Lazuli component of Iolite! They spend most of their time fused as Iolite with their romantic partner, Purple Sapphire.

Meet Benitoite! She's the sunny triple-fusion of Iolite (Powder-Blue Sapphire + Shy Lapis) and Indicolite "Indy" Tourmaline! This art is adapted from a design done for me by slippydoodzl here on tumblr, so be sure to show them some love. They do awesome stuff!

I love your gems! Have you drawn what ruby and Moss agate looked like in Era 1? ☺️

I haven't done one for Star Ruby yet-- I'm still collaborating with their owner on what that would look like! Moss, however, does have a canon Era 1 regeneration! Left is her current form, and right is her original, pre-corruption form in Era 1, where she commanded one of Yellow Diamonds Quartz platoons and fought against Crystal Gems during the Rebellion.

Today I give you a model sheet for Purple Sapphire, one-half of the permafusion known as Iolite! She was designed for and is owned by one of my roommates.

What does Iolite think of Era 3?

Iolite is very happy in Era 3! Because of the dismantling of the Gem Heirarchy, they are free to be themselves and love being themselves, both Sapphire and Lapis together.

Star Ruby and Moss Agate make Bloodstone. Citrine and Coral Pearl make Honey Opal. What is a fusion of all of them?

Glad you asked! This is Tiger's Eye, the fusion of Coral Pearl, Citrine, Moss Agate, and Star Ruby. It's my first quadruple fusion for my Gem OCs!

A reference sheet I put together for "Rock" the Star Ruby, since she seems to be a popular character.

How did Iolite's components meet?

I havent worked out a proper history for them, but I suppose in my mind, Iolite's components met on one of Blue Diamond's colony worlds, where they were both stationed. They both developed feelings for one another, but due to the strictness of the caste system and Lapis' own reserved demeanor, those feelings never came to light until the start of Era 3. Once their colony was dissolved, the two were free to be together and embrace being Iolite.

Here's another spread featuring a fusion of two my brothers' Gem OCs-- (re)introducing... Fire Agate! Fire Agate is the rock n' roll fusion of Citrine and Star Ruby, embodying their larger than life personalities and mutual penchant for showmanship. Her weapon is an axe guitar, a combination of Citrine's battleaxe and Star Ruby's megabuster.

New fusion spread! Introducing Iolite-- Iolite is the permafusion of Powder-Blue Sapphire and "Shy" Lapis, and has complete control over water on a molecular level, instantly changing its state of matter from liquid to ice. They are cool, collected, and soft-spoken, with positive vibes that extend out to everyone they meet.

New Fusion Debut! Meet "Rhodey", the Rhodonite fusion of Coral Pearl and Star Ruby! This is the latest in a series of fusion spreads featuring the fusions of mine and my brothers' group of OCs. Rhodey wields a gunsaber, a fusion of Coral's rapier and Star Ruby's megabuster!

What words do you describe Star Ruby's personality?

I'd describe Star Ruby as having attitude above all else-- she's rebellious and headstrong, and loves feeling powerful. She's cocky, energetic, and full of fire.

Got another fusion spread for you! This time, it's Honey Opal, the fusion between Coral Pearl and Citrine. Hope you guys enjoy this one, she's a personal favorite of mine!

A character panel featuring Bloodstone, the fusion of Moss Agate and Star Ruby, pictured here with her components, her gemstones, and a couple shots featuring her and her gem weapon, a drill (a combination of Star Ruby's mega-buster and Moss Agate's lance).

A model sheet for Moss Agate, one of my younger brother's Gem OCs. I believe I've posted fusions that incorporate them before, but never showcased their design on its own! This is the second version of the character-- the previous iteration was not corrupted as she is now.

Do any of your gems like Era 3?

Most of my Gems embrace Era 3. Moss Agate (who I don't recall if she's been pictured here or not) is more reluctant, but doesn't make too much of a fuss about it, and is surrounded by friends who help her adjust. Spessartine, Coral's former owner, however, is very much opposed.

[whamcaked]

How do you describe Spessartine Garnet's personality?

She's a Holly-Blue type-- that being, she is very strict, no-nonsense, and loyal to the Gem empire. She doesn't tolerate any deviations and seeks to groom her colony into the ideal colony under Yellow Diamond. Gems who step out of line are rejuvinated, shattered, or, in the case of proven warriors, made to fight for the entertainment of the upper-crust in the colony gladiator pit. She loves entertainment, but onlyso far in that which is demeaning or dangerous for lower-caste Gems. TLDR: She's a real piece of work.
