👾 😈 🍊

I don't think I'll use her; but here's Clinohumite!

🍃 🍹👻

Once a velveteen seductress of Homeworld, Dry Bone Ore came to Earth on an entertainment assignment to lift the spirits of a certain Pink Diamond. The corruption blast came before she even got word Pink was gone. She has the shards of a former lover she kept with her attached to her “strippers pole”. 

You think a corrupted dragons blood resin would be a good idea?

🥚 hehe egg. 🥚

Dragon’s Blood Resin was a loving florist who just wanted to make bouquets. Unfortunately, she just smushes the flowers she wants to collect now.... 

Random corrupted gems!

Mojave Turquoise was once a very intelligent archeologist, whose duty was to gather important and useful treasures from the organics of conquered worlds. She never heard the call to retreat. 

Sodalite was a crystal gem…. Until Rose killed Pink. Sodalite thought all death was unnecessary, seeing too much in her time as a homeworld loyalist. She left to be a loner on earth, not loyal to either homeworld nor the crystal gems. Unfortunately, staying on Earth was a bad idea. 

I might do more corrupted gems if you guys send me gem ideas :V

The second of my bonus gems; Confusionite! They are mostly a gem version of my non fandom character Hitchcock, lol.

Confusionite is the only one of their kind, being an experimental gem crafted by Blue Diamond. Confusionite has future vision, like Sapphires. But something…. Off happened.

No one’s sure what’s wrong in Confusionite. Their gemstone, hole, coding- everything says they are an average gem. But, they are…. off. Not fully there. 

It could be explained with the power of their future vision, being stronger than even Garnet’s. They foresee any path the future may hold, and are not bound by perceptions towards those who they are predicting for or probability. So, Confusionite’s predictions almost always happen. Even if they do not, hints and echoes of what they foresaw are left behind. Their predictions tend to be vague as well, cryptic and riddle-y. 

Confusionite is a very free willed gem, not conforming to the Diamond’s rule and instead being a rouge gem and predicting when they feel like it to those who visit them. The only reasons the Diamonds don’t shatter them when they defy their order is their vision is too powerful to waste. 

In era three, they move to Earth and enjoy the spontaneous nature of the planet, and only look to the future if absolutely necessary now. 

Casual draw of a concept I’ve had since steven universe future came out and just never had the wherewithal to do anything with.

The concept is simple: a resort for fusions. Once permanent and mixed gem fusion became legal, a few fusions who had hidden who they were wanted a place where they could relax. They earned a vacation from looking over their shoulder constantly. A resort was born, built out of an abandoned Blue Diiamond entertainment planet. It’s incredibly beautiful, fancy, and perfect for the couple looking to get away from the memory of the pressures of era 1 and 2.

Within the resort, there are two single gems. Snakeskin Agate and “Blackjack” Pearl. Snakeskin despises that the resort she used to work so hard at is a hub for these disgusting displays now. She hates era three, hates all these new rules, and hates Steven most of all. Snakeskin threatened her Pearl, Blackjack, into staying with her at the resort. She has a plan. A devious (but not terribly smart) plan. 

Her idea is to have her Pearl scope out the fusions that come to this resort, force the weak ones into a fusion, and gain power. Slowly gaining enough power with enough gems to overthrow this silly new empire. And put things the way they should be. Orderly, and right. 

Blackjack doesn’t necessarily like this plan. She loves the concept of era three and desperately wants to be free from her abusive owner .She was dragging her feet on the plan, delaying it the best she could.

Until Steven Universe himself decides to check out this resort.

☀️👄👁

I’ll be honest I’m not 100% happy with this.

Any gem with the Rose moniker was to be sealed away pending investigation. Many were shattered. Many were bubbled away and forgotten. 

Many, like Desert Rose, fled to Earth. 

She held out, until the final day, that Homeworld would forgive her and her fellow Roses for the crime of one defective Rose.

She spends her days luring other corrupted gems to her with her fire lure, and fusing with them. At least temporarily. 

🗡🌈💫

Color Change Zultanite is a rouge gem, wanted with plenty of bounties on her head. She created a formula to change the natural colors of a gem, so gems born with the wrong colors could be fixed and put to work. However, Zultanite wanted to play with this power she created. She changed the colors of those who wronged her, and now hides away. Looking to punish those who she thinks have done wrong by making them her test subjects.

Rumor has it she was her own first test subject. Everyone knows she isn’t actually a Zultanite. But what gem she was born as is forgotten. 

🍹✨💙

Medusa Quartz did not even hear the call to retreat Earth.... And now she’s lost at sea. Simply searching. For what no one’s sure. But she’s dragged quite a few ships to their doom in the watery deeps.

Here she is without her water bubble:

👀💫🌧

Do not stare upon Spider Web Septarians too long. If they decide you have done wrong-

You will be turned into but a statue for the Diamonds to decorate with.

Maybe a Painite?

Painites create artificial form enhancers specifically for Pearls. Their fans, wands, any artificial fabric they might wear, etc. 

This one, however....

Something happened to her-.... 

Pietersite

🤡

I think they’d be enforcers but for the entertainment of others. Like chasing after rebels/off colors in silly ways and poofing them with a pun. They usually do shows in colosseums with captured gems who can’t escape. 

Concepts for diamond ocs I don't have time to line and color. They'd be from an au where White decided to replace all the diamonds after pink was shattered because her shattering "exposed defects" within the diamonds.

No reason fan fusion between Yellow Diamond and Rhodonite; Coffinite

A lovely Ruby I designed today.

You might be saying, “woah that is not a Ruby. That’s a fusion who named herself Ruby.” But she is just a singular Ruby! 

A “disease” can sweep through kindergartens and erase various bits of coding from the incubating gems. This disease is called permafrost, as it is caused by ice even the hottest temperatures can’t seem to melt. 

This young Ruby’s kindergarten was infected by permafrost, and abandoned early on. However, she was one of the few Rubies who managed to form, the frost erasing the coding for her standard form. And leaving.... this. 

Any gem who erupts plagued with perma frost is generally shattered unless the authority can find use for them. This little lady found use as an entertainer in Blue Diamond’s court. Something to be laughed at and mocked for her odd form. But, it was something to keep her alive.

A Pearl that was born highly defective due to orders from her owner, who secretly was part of a mixed fusion in her off time. Her defects include: blindness, having four arms,and having slightly longer legs than normal (making her a head taller than the average Pearl).

She was put in a rejuvenation chamber for all her flaws, in hopes that she could be customized by her next owner to be non defective. If not, she would be shattered. 

However, she was left forgotten. As, the rejuvenation chamber was on Earth. And the retreat order was called before she could be retrieved. 

Rose found her about a thousand years after the war, and accidentally activated her, the poor Pearl’s default settings keeping her defective. Over the next thousands of years, the other crystal gems teach her how to be free. 

Rose helps her edit bits of her outfit to make her more comfortable and confident. A bow to push her hair out of her eyes and show off their beauty, a shawl to cover the arms she’d rather not show, and a bell to help her listen to the sound bouncing off the walls so she can judge where she is within buildings (plus it alerts others to keep an out out for the poor Pearl), 

Unsure of a nickname for this little lady.

So I had this dream last night that had three sapphires stacked on top of each other in it. The dream kept switching between if they were a fusion, an off color, or just three sapphires who liked to be together like this. I decided to concept her and….. Okay she’s hilarious I love her.

I’m calling her Color Change Sapphire. I’m gonna have it so they keep switching between explanations on what they are so I don’t have to decide. Either one of the sapphires or all of the sapphires talk at once. No just two of em talking.

This is the silliest thing I’ve ever concepted.

How about Fluorite

Instead of a Pearl or a Spinel, I went with a Spinel and Pearl fusion! This is Butterfly Jasper, the fusion of a yellowish green spinel and a blue pearl.

Spinel having a spinel but that spinel has a pearl

The Diamonds gave Spinel the Pearl first. They customized her, thinking their lovely Spinel would adore a beautiful Pearl to do things for her. Spinel was horrified at the notion, and felt terrible with this poor Pearl following her around everywhere. The Diamonds, not realizing their mistake, gave her a Spinel as a “sorry” present. Obviously she was uncomfortable with the Pearl, so she should have something more her speed- another Spinel! :) This gift was even more horrifying to poor Spinel and she’s not sure what to do with them. 

I’m not sure a nickname for the Pearl but the Spinel is known as Crow

Amethyst(?

Went for a sorta mad scientisty look. I think she’s nice and kooky! I’m gonna call her Dizzy :)

White Diamond.Because reasons.:3

Instead of using the other gems in my inbox I randomly generated a gem from the list of canon gems to fuse with for these last ones. Also, I didn’t feel like coloring these.

Antimony is the fusion of Mean Lapis and White Diamond

just like.... pretend this is colored. I’m too lazy lol

White Diamond, Blue Diamond, Yellow Diamond, and Spinel make Antimony

More of the diamonds with not their pearls! C:

Yellow Diamond and CG Pearl make Powellite (fun fact: I started this design wanting to make an aubergine pearl and yellow d fusion but well.... it came out more like it was with cg pearl.)

Pink Diamond Rose Quartz and Lonely Pearl make Redruthite.

Before you inundate me with asks, I’ve made my stance on fusions we’ve seen on the show, but with different component gems (ex a ruby and sapphire but not the cg ruby and sapphire) very clear. I think they would have different names.

I do wanna make fusions with Blue Pearl and Aubergine too, but I’m not sure who with since I’ve done all the diamonds  :V

I had a dream that Blue Pearl and Yellow Diamond fused the other day, so I felt like fusing the diamonds with Pearls that are not theirs!

Volleyball and Blue Diamond make Tremolite.

Yellow Pearl and White Diamond make Enstatite.

Before you inundate me with asks, I’ve made my stance on fusions we’ve seen on the show, but with different component gems (ex a ruby and sapphire but not the cg ruby and sapphire) very clear. I think they would have different names.

I’ll make fusions with Yellow Diamond and Pink Diamond and not their pearls later C: 

So I've gotten quite a few adopts from @gaartes lately, and I thought I'd make them all into a massive fusion! This is Shocked Quartz; a fusion of "Dorothy" Peridot, "Pink" Ruby, "Midnight" Aquamarine, "Cute" Pebble, and the pearl and peridot from "Doll" the pearlidot fusion. Though I did move Dorothy's gem to be on her belly instead of not visible. Shocked's a rock star who performs at a resort for fusions.

“YOU BROKE US!”

I don’t necessarily think that two gems fused together have to make the same gem as two other gems of the same type do. I mean, fusions name themselves right? Who’s to say a Ruby and a Sapphire couldn’t make a Tourmaline or something like that. 

So here’s (pink) Porcelain. These two aren’t good for each other. Their trama mixed together is not good. They create a toxic fusion where they’re trying to lay their traumas onto each other and well…. It doesn’t end well. They aren’t stable and fall apart with ease. 

(Design notes: three eyes, four arms. Her right bottom arm is broken off and glued back on poorly. Her “base” is craked in a manner where if she isn’t careful, her entire base will break off. I decided against doing a reset version of this little lady unlike I did with Harlequin.)
