Is there a thought process behibd which gentrolls have horns and which don't?

i gave it to the ones that i thought needed it to complement the design, or where it felt really significant to have them included! or if i could fit it in there without it being too disruptive to the rest of the vibe.

so like, for eridan and kanaya as pearls I think it would've been a bit off on them, but for someone like vriska where aquamarine already had the little ribbon-bits, it was easy to shape that into her horns!

#gemstuck #chris talks #to be fair #like #equius + sollux + aradias horns could probably go and it wouldnt take too much away from their design/recognizability #but i think they're implemented well enough that they look neat either way #good question though op!#i only was kinda thinking abt it during the designing #i didnt really design the trolls as like a Group #it was definitely me individually with each one thinking #“how do i take the gem im using and mix it with their character”#rather than “how do i make them all look cohesive together”#which is why like 3 characters have a gem on their left shoulder i didnt intend that and only realized it after #like bro come up with a more creative SPOT #3/12 WITH IT ON THE SHOUUULDER???
