Happy Steven Universe Anniversary! Thank you all so much for following me and my blog on this journey. I’m so happy for what the show has given to me.

In just two days it will be exactly one year since steven universe ended

Given that, almost a year after the end of SU, the fanbase has been shrinking, COVID is still ever-present, and my personal life is busy, a zine will NOT be held.

I do apologize for this decision. I did want to host one, but due to these circumstances, it would be difficult to keep up with a schedule and keep interest in the project. :( I don’t want to cause delays in the project like I did last time. Thank you all for waiting patiently for an update and for following me when another project was being discussed. I wish you all the best in your future artistic and zine endeavors!

I know @gemsonaresources is now closed, but I have this headcanon regarding Gem spacecraft that I feel I should share.

The Ask and Submission Boxes Are Officially CLOSED! FOREVER!

Will your blog still be up as like an archive to be used for people who want to look back at it for some past gemsona advice?

It will act as an archive, yes! I most likely won’t be reblogging any new content, unless it’s the rare tutorial or master list, but it will remain up as it is 5 years of content and work all in one place.

I’m sorry about being absent. I was finishing a summer class, got a small medical procedure done, and school started this week. Hope y’all are doing well. Please, keep practicing safety precautions as you return to school. Be vigilant. Following gathering/crowd limits so that you can see people safely. Monitor your own symptoms honestly. Do what’s best for your mental and physical health <3 Love y’all.

Steven’s gem has a different palette when he’s pink! Feel free to use this for artist ref 🙏

Uncertainty About Hosting a Zine (opinions wanted)

Hello everyone! It’s been a year and three days since I last posted. I will make this quick. When Steven Universe ended, I knew I wanted to do two things: host a final gemsona art event on my blog, and host a zine. However, I am reconsidering the zine because of the following:  1. The Corona Virus has made everyone’s lives go completely sideways and upside down. A lot of people are finding themselves very creative, or very much creatively blocked and run down from the stress and isolation. As quarantine drags on and different states/countries are flipping between opening and closing, I am not certain that people will find the inspiration and motivation to participate, especially when school comes around again (see next point). 2. The entire announcement time and creation period would go until the winter. This would be a busy time for students, especially with the new schooling formats due to the virus. Holidays would also take up the time a person may have to make art and/or write. 3. I know other SU zines have done charity and for-profit zines, but I worry about the legalities surrounding the sale of products containing pre-existing characters. I will do more research into this as I want there to be digital merch as well. 4. I am entering my senior year of college. I know that I have to make a cover page and possibly make merch to help with sales for the charity zine. I’m worried about rushing these important things and the quality coming out poorly, or pushing them off because of other priorities. I want to host a zine or SOMETHING, but I don’t know how much traction I will gain with the show’s end and the virus’ toll on everyone’s lives. I want to create a bigger project for us to be proud of, but I don’t know how successful it will be. I will figure something out. If not a zine, maybe a calendar, or screen backgrounds, or a recipe book, or stories with matching artwork, or a mix of things! Maybe it will be strictly SU and SUF, or include gemsonas, or only be gemsonas. I don’t know, but if you feel some way strongly, please do leave me a message on this post, my chat, or send an ask to my inbox. Thank you so much for reading.

🌟🎂GemsonaResources is 5 Years Old Today!🎂🌟

     Happy birthday to my gemsona help blog! On July 25th, 2015, I made this blog on a whim to help fellow creators come up with ideas for their Steven Universe based OCs. Little did I know the ride that I would be taken on with this blog. I went in with no expectations and came out forming my own little community, that has amassed to almost 4,000 followers, within the fandom. Through art events, gift exchanges, contests, zines, and of course, new SU content, I’ve seen many of you come and go. Thank you for giving me this platform to try new things, help come up with ideas, and collaborate. I will miss what we have created together.      To celebrate what will be my blog’s last birthday, I invited SU fans to draw their gemsonas for a larger collaboration. It was the only theme that felt right for this blog’s last event. The turnout was amazing and I am so touched from all of you who dedicated their time into participating. Please give these artists the love that they deserve and check out the gemsonaversary tag for their entries! (P.S: My gemsona, Mojave Turquoise, is pictured in the center of the collab.)
