#chocolate diamond

[sacarozen]

M-maybe I vanished for a feel years? but now I'm back for no reason?

I mean, I made a full rework on Chocolate Diamond (Cocoa Diamond) and now I think she has a real futuristic look.

In the past I made the mistake to turn her color lighter than the original concept but now I think I made it right.

New Backstory AU:

After SUF a group of gems accidentally created Chocolate Diamond destroying a planet. She has no court, she does not know her own power but I'll now work on something.

Out on the Streets for the Glory

All For the Glory is one of those songs on Sonic Boom (2009) that is a little more cleverly linked to previous, mostly clearly older Kiss klassiks. To this end, I'd just boldly suggest that All for the Glory has a fundamental core in common with Black Diamond from Kiss' Debut album (1974) .

I think most readers here should be familiar with the ending of Black Diamond on the debut album. You know, the one that sounds like the tonal equivalent of a melting chocolate-caramel bar that slowly and ever-so-slowly drips out of a even slower-moving, overweight person's back pocket, who ends up sitting on it, like in slow motion, and until ultimately not much more than a flat, unidentifiable mass remains.

I have to tell you I'm not at all concerned with this passage (1) , but a whole lot more with this suffering, endlessly drawn-out guitar solo drama that wraps itself around the slowed-down main riff, right before this chocolate-caramel meltdown.

And this is precisely where All for the Glory picks up, and most of all, builds on on its own. With a feel of that Black Diamond solo drama and the attitude of a sports motivation trainer. Which seriously tempts me to come up with another camparison, this time one from the world of sports movies:

If Black Diamond is Rocky, then All For the Glory is Rocky III, oder maybe even Rocky IV.

And if you briefly consider that the original Rocky movie was a sensitive love story and underdog sports and social drama with one of the most culturally memorable soundtracks of the 70s, and Rocky IV on the other hand an over-stylized 80s video clip montage with a good shot of revenge movie fighting action with wealthy bodybuilders, and a Cold War focus on top of that, these two films could hardly be more different in all their devices and messages. They both work quite well independently of each other, but still remain linked to the central subject of an somehow likeable soul who, armed with more heart than brains, simply refuses to give up, and keeps fighting.

Except for the one time when Rocky gets knocked out by Clubber Lang, to which the chocolate melting sequence from Black Diamond would fit perfectly on the other hand.

But wait a minute, that happened in Rocky III.

Side Note:

(1) I just love the comparison and felt the need to smuggle it in somehow.

Info under the cut

Basically, they live in an alternate universe where their sensei completely shut down, because who is doing maintenance on construct from thousands of years ago? So they’ve been on their own for the past ~900 years and the school is governed by the president and their ministers.

Pink Tourmaline - President, mohs 7.5

Tourmaline is calm, collected, and good at making decisions. They’re the third oldest surviving gem and very experienced in multiple jobs. Along with sewing, organizing, and documenting, they also used to patrol, but rarely do anymore. A long time ago, their partner, Prasiolite, was taken to the moon and Tourmaline feels some amount of responsibility. The two never had a very good relationship, constantly bickering—Prasio was just so stubborn and irresponsible—but every once in a while, they wish they were here.

Imperial Topaz - Vice President, Defense Minister, mohs 8

Topaz is aloof and unsociable. They mostly talk to and spend time with Tourmaline and almost no one else. Due in part to Tourmaline practically adopting them when they formed. Despite how it seems, Topaz does actually like pretty much everyone and wants to protect them and save everyone who’s been lost, including gems they never got the opportunity to meet. Unfortunately, they have no idea how to communicate that care to others, so most of the others are wary of them.

Azurite - Doctor/Minister of Health, mohs 3.5

A large portion of Azurite’s body is actually dioptase, due to being consumed by Malachite while they formed. So, because of this uncommon circumstance and their low hardness, they decided to become the school’s official doctor. They wish Malachite would stop avoiding them; Azurite doesn’t blame them at all for what happened, but Malachite still feels guilty. Personality wise, Azurite is generally the nervous and non-confrontational type.

Chocolate Diamond - Minister of Education, mohs 10

Since Sensei’s shut down, Choco has taken it upon themself to educate the younger gems and is quite good at it. They have a warm and patient personality, and work well with others—due in part to being the oldest surviving gem. On the side, they are working on finding a way to wake up Sensei, but nothing is working so far. Sometimes, they look to the moon and wonder if maybe…never mind. At the moment, they’re patrol partners with a young gem named Bumblebee Jasper, who they spend most of their time looking after these days.

why’d they have to give wolfgang such big soft babygirl eyes

One last look at the sketch before I muck it up ink and color it in! Dancer's mug is supposed to have a holly design on it. ^_^; I tried to make it look like a decor style you'd see in Sky. Might fix it after inking.

Little extra thing I started as a comic, but might leave as is, and ink and color later as well.

I don’t know how people don’t go insane after knowing the extent of corporate crimes across the planet. Nearly everything we interact with in the west was produced through slavery and poor working conditions. Everything is tainted.
