Here's an awesome artist who makes great content if you want some commisions 😃

I was also planning on making my comic in this art style with animations, however I just can't find the right app or software to make it

More Emergency Commissions: ANIMATION EDITION

Hey Rey Rapids Here. I still need funds to fix my wacom. Luckily there is a type of art that I do without a wacom. Here is something I think a lot of people would be interested in…

PERSONALIZED ANIMATED PIXEL GIFS

That’s right all you lovelies.

If you have an OC that you want a pixel sprites and accompanying animation then now is the time to act.

For $15 you get a sprite version of your original characters (Up to 3 in one animation) With a looping animation and dynamic background with animated elements within.

Sprite Examples:

Sprite Animation Examples:

Dynamic Environment Examples:

If you are interested in getting your own custom animation, simply message me with reference pictures of your characters, and a description of where you want them to be and what you want them to be doing. For $15 you get a looped animation. (Animations too intricate or complex will cost more.) (Payments prefered via paypal, all you need is an email.) The perfect example is this:

A character sprite doing a looped animation (sleeping) in a dynamic environment. This is a very simple version you ARE  allowed to have more complex requests especially the environment.

No genre is off limits, sci-fi, fantasy, horror, romance. Any character, any action, any environment.

If you are not interested in buying an animation, you can still help me by reblogging this so others may see.

Thank you all again.

Lapis Lazuli Gemsona I'm all drained out today. Please accept my lazy content 😥.

Pearl: I'm going to lose her, just like I lost my... what was that you said?

Steven: Your cellphone?

Pearl: My CELLPHONE! *sobs*

MY CELL PHONE!!!

You could tell that she's very happy. She didn't win anything, she's just feeling the joy of being alive. A feeling you could never replace. #blue #mermaid #sketch #joy #art #artistsoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BnxiM2VhkPY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=217vfzfo50eu

About Concrete

Ok guys, Rebecca Sugar and Lamar Abrams already apologized, isn’t that enough? If you think the Crewniverse is racist just because of some mistakes, you’re wrong.

Rubies are identified as dumb but our ruby isn’t and she even learned how to love, Pearls are just made to be servants but our pearl rebelled and learned to be her own self, Lapis Lazulis are low in the Gem Caste but our lapis is shown to be strong, Peridots are weak but they’re intelligent, our amethyst is defective but she’s loved and she loves in return. Their characters are voiced by Asians, and as an Asian, I’m not even offended by the word dumb, low, weak and other stereotypic words, because our ruby, pearl, lapis, peridot, and amethyst shows us that those words don’t matter because we have other good qualities, like them we can rebel and show that we are more than what stereotypes think of us, we can learn how to fight, love, and be smart. And not just that, even the other gem characters who you “assume” to be americans are imperfect, they might have good qualities but they also have imperfections, like the Off Colors and the mistakes that other gems also make. Even the High Ranked gems are shown to be caring and have feelings. All the characters from the show are “equal”. You see them as good even if they have bad qualities, you also see some of them as bad even if they have good qualities. So everyone is equal, they are all shown to have good and bad sides.

And like Rebecca Sugar and all people like you, we have our own good and bad sides. It’s normal to make mistakes, and it’s good to say sorry and forgive. Others say that a cracked egg can’t be uncracked. But I say a wound can be healed. The scars are the lessons we’ve learned. Not all mistakes are permanent, some can be corrected, and leave a lesson.

Remember, no one is perfect but we are all equal.

I'm not sure who wrote the description of Concrete, but it does look like Rebecca's handwriting. I'm not speaking the truth or being racist, so people, just stop with the harrassment on the crew members...

concrete

heya!

sorry to anyone offended by the concrete stuff that can be found in the steven universe art book that recently came out. 

i drew concrete during a little writing exercise we usually do when we’re planning stuff for the next season. we were given a few minutes to come up with a design, then the drawing is passed on and someone else writes a description. i won’t say who that was as i don’t want to open them up to harassment.

the person who wrote the comment brought what was going on with this character online to my attention a few days ago. they expressed regret over being careless and not really thinking of how it could be seen as a negative thing. they made a mistake. we talked about it and they’ve learned from this experience.

as far as concretes design goes, i drew her pretty expressionless. i think all i used was a stylo and a warm grey copic to give her a little more detail. i hadn’t really thought about her since that writing exercise. if i had more time i woulda drawn her cuter. i wanted to get across the idea that her skin would be dark. i get how the contrast with her lips could be seen as a racist caricature. if she was ever to be in the show i’m sure we would’ve developed her into a great character.

we do our best to approach the characters on the show in a thoughtful way. we’ve made some mistakes and missed some things. we’re always learning along the way, tho…we’ll continue to make mistakes. we’re not perfect and there’s no such thing as a perfect cartoon.

something we talk about on the crew a lot is how excited we are for the future. we’re excited to see what people who were into SU end up creating 10 or 20 years from now.  the mistakes we’re making now, hopefully people continue to discuss them. hopefully people learn from our mistakes. they’ll probably make some new ones along the way, but the people that come up after that will hopefully learn from those mistakes, too.

i’m very sorry to anyone that was hurt by the images and comments. if you’re discussing things online, i hope you can do so in a caring and understanding way. i hope you have people around you that can understand your feelings.

thanks for reading <3
