@@Moqnaiqlx It looks natural, for naturally have a couple of eyes,where do you think they're supposed to sit? You'd look like that too dude, So i don't see anything wrong with the original at all, but i like it when i see people do a spin on their take, and draw them in their style
I just absolutely love how Opal's personality mix Pearl's hyperfocus and overthinker personality with Amethyst's relaxed and multitasking personality to literally create a gem with ADHD
While fusions in Steven Universe can tend to look a little uncanny, it becomes clear when you factor in the idea that the more gems a fusion is made up of, the more uncanny their designs become.
I never realized it, but each of the gems for represents the past, present, and future. Pearl is so hung up on her past that she can't really see Steven for who he is, Garnet has her future vision and is always worried about all the possibilities that could happen, and Amethyst herself just lives in the present and kind of takes things as they are.
@@Snow-xd4rv No this was actually confirmed my Rebecca sugar herself and is the basis for how they designed the outfits for Pearl, Garnet, and Amethyst. They represent the past, present, and future.
yeah i just realized this too pearl is stuck in the past amethyst lives in the present garnet is looking towards the future and steven was a product of the past, made in the present, and hes changing the future. liiiiiike commmeee onnnnn
"And then traumatize each other until it's time for someone else to do it." Damn, I've never heard such an accurate way to describe the darker parts of the show! XD
Honestly, when it was confirmed Nicki Minaj was voicing Sugalite, I honestly thought she was gonna look a lot more like the guest voice actor . They had so much potential to add a lot of pizzazz with her too 😭.
I saw someone explain that sugalite’s personality is the way it is bc amethyst and ruby are both very emotional and have anger issues, overpowering the calm of sapphire. So if it’s the other way, with the calm of pearl and sapphire over the chaos of ruby it makes sense that sardonyx would be calmer
Its explained in the show tho. I kind of alredy forgoten It a little but It was the mix of amethyst like braggy personality and garnet laid back personality that doesnt care a lot for things happening around. So like, amethyst wanted to show off How strong she is(we know shes insecure about being the weaker cristal gem) and with Garnet not caring for things so she ended up destructive bcs sugilite likes to show off her raw power and doesnt care about the destruction and the consequences🤷
Sapphire is nonchalant because she can see the future and knows how every situation will play out, so she comes off as very cold. Any current problems that you may be dealing with, she will seem as though she doesn’t care, because she look in the future and see that the problem will sort itself out, so there’s no need for her to get emotionally involved.
Out here speaking the truth about how amazing the concept of fusion is, and how they did some of the designs absolutely FEELTHY 😭 Thank you for making Sugilite the baddie she was meant to be
@@OwONekko @Falloutlover1011 Is it unhealthy? IS IT UNHEALTHY? Opal may be unhealthy, and arguably Malachite can be considered 'unhealthy' BUT Garnet and Amethyst have no problem at all, they understand each other best, in fact, if she could get more screen time, I'm sure we'd end up with an experienced and understanding mother figure like Vidalia, the only problem was that the three of them were too excited together and if pearl hadn't turned them on, there wouldn't have been a problem anyway, but it's not because of the 'unhealthiness' of their relationship but themselves. Garnet occasionally throws punches as a warning or punishment, and Amethyst attacks the gems when they are in private. (I was also curious about your opinion, if you don't get it wrong or seriously.)
Man what are you on? Your comment lacks coherence and shows a complete lack of understanding about fusion and sugilite. Also there is no "arguably" about Malachite, that was the unhealthiest fusion in the show.@@demirhane9179
EVEN IF sugilite's first design was hideous, she should've made a second appearance with a cooler design. like, maybe in a later season or smth, once amethyst and garnet have become more confident and stable, their fusion could have reflected that
@@vic6907honestly as much as I loved Nicki as sugalite I don’t get why they did it. I feel like it would’ve been easier and smarter if they had her voice a fusion that doesn’t have two main characters in it and wouldn’t need to be used again because between Nicki’s schedule and their budget getting cut every two seconds it wouldn’t have worked long term regardless.
One detail I always loved about Sugilite's design was her nails. They were so detailed that I don't think there ever was anything else like this in the show
I would say the closest thing to that was White Diamond's heels in her first appearance episode, although unlike Sugilite, they weren't animated as much.
😈😈 I loved all of them!! But girl, Sugilite was something else! Your art is beautiful! And I love how you also teach us about some stuff, cause I need to train my art too lol
I always kinda liked how weird and blocky Sugalite looked. It really does highlight how she's 2/3 intense, short gems with attitude, a barely blended amalgamation of styles. But all her gem components are small stocky, and strongly compacted personalities, it makes sense that she'd be a giant stocky woman herself, with both Ruby and Amethyst's beef and brawn I do concur she should have featured more of Sapphire's cool elegance. My one gripe was that Sapphire's vibes were totally lost in the conversation of their fusion. This redesign feels more like an even serving of the 3 rather than just a Garnet/Amethyst combo, with the long hair being something both a Amethyst and Sapphire thing. After 5k years of knowing Ruby, the idea that Sapphire would have stayed rigidly the same always felt a little off. I really like the 70s disco diva redesign. Maybe she looked weird in the original becuz of the fact that she's an unstable fusion. Maybe after the events of Future, the fusion would look more like a bombastic diva just due to the amount of growth as gems they both went through as well as their own personal redesigns. I like to think so
No because I had absolutely NO DESIRE to watch Steven Universe, but watching your character redesigns and listening to you passionately talk about it might be the thing that makes me finally give it a try. Oh and the redesigns were all fire but I think I'd say 😈 because that BEFORE AND AFTER!!! 👀
I was just thinking about something. I noticed that the relationship between two or more gems could maybe affect the way they look. If you look at a fusion based off of a healthier relationship (for example Stevonnie and Garnet) you could see that they come out more human-like and less monster-looking. But if you look at ones like Malachite and Bluebird Azurite, they tend to look more physically unstable and unappealing. Nevertheless, they could have still done some designs way more justice 😭.
this is canon actually! besides the fact that fusions tend to look way more weird when its the first time existing (?) like how Garnet used to look in The Answer vs how she looks now...
@@im-lovin-it2582Their personalitys mixed but in a negative way. Garnet being more of a leader who is more of the order giver(Sapphire being more reserved but her personality is cancelled by Ruby's Hot headedness) Amythest brash and insecurities are backed up by Garnets more secure traits. So I think they have a good relationship just their personalities and personal feelings clash in their fusion
Sardonyx looks like peridot fusion because of the hair and glasses. For real she looks like she could be a fusion of peridot and lapis. The OG version never gave me that vibe.
you’re so fucking funny and as a fellow black gyal you’re really a breath of fresh air. like genuinely laughed so hard this whole video. pleaaase keep this series going and talking as much as you can cause ima listen frfr
I always loved the original fusions designs because they emphasized that yeah, these are ALIENS. So I was ok with them being a bit, odd-looking. I wasn't really sold on the crop top and jean shorts of your first two redesigns, but that Garnet-Pearl Conductor fusion goes haaard.
When talking about Opal's personality "amethist, who's living in the moment and pearl who's living in the past" it made me realize, Garnet is kiiinda "living in the future" cus, you know, she can literally SEE the future... THIS 3 CANCEL EACH OTHER OUT TOO AKJDHAKJD
I usually have a hard time staying engaged in these types of video's but NOT HERE!! You have so much energy and personality coupled with how cute and expressive you draw your avatar is along with you're editing style. Not to mention your art is gorgeous!! The colors!! The shadows!!! Everything!!
With sugilite the original design fits for their instability as a fusion. Garnet and amethyst aren’t compatible so their fusion is more crazy. I love the redesigns though!!
yea its pretty obvious op doesnt know what she's talking about when watching the show especially with some of her comments during the start of the video, but some of her redesigns still look nice
I really like these designs and Sardonyx has my favorite designs but I do like the improvements you made for Sugelite the most! If you ever decide to do more of these, I really want to see how you’ll interpret Sunstone since I think her design definitely needs the most work.
Sardonxy was a host because its a jab at the cheeky nature of pearl but the future vision of sapphire and host always kinda know whats up. Otherwise I do love your choices on the redesigns ❤
You know. It never occurred to me how many... Odd choices there were with Sugilite until now. This is the first video of yours I've seen, and I spent the majority of it laughing! I can't say much for art improvement for obvious reasons, but I adore all of the end pieces. Opal and Sardonyx both are just. Chefs kiss. Flawless. The musical notation from Sardonyx's conductor's wand? Fantastic. Perfect. Beautiful. I think Opal's my favorite of them, but they're all just. Amazing. You did so well! ☯
7:03 I love Sugalite's more warmer-purples looking more like a mix of Amethyst and Garnet, instead of a darker purple like in-show. 11:04 Opal's hair looks more unified, instead of just long. Her body also looks less like a tall Pearl. 15:46 Sardonyx being a composer is fitting- as Garnet's a commander and Pearl's more crafty. I can't decide which, but I loce all three feeling more coherent, and I love this idea of "pre-shading" before you add the colors.
THIS IS AMAING. You should try Sunstone.. Because what they did to that Fusion was AWFUL! Great video as always!! I love how you did these Fusions Justice!
Remember like two months back when i was like "cola i got a video you gon love!" ITS THIS ONE I WAS SO LATE LMAO! I WAS WAITING TO SEE YOU POP UP IN THE COMMENT SECTION 😂Your su pic got me back into steven universe era🥰THANK YOU AND I GOT YOU IN LIKE...AN HOUR! 😏
@@SamChaneyProductions nah i still think the design is awful and lost all the esence the fusions have. You can try to do that and still give them a great design
I'd love to see a redesign, but I've grown to like the original. I think it'd be kinda boring if they all looked like skinny women with more arms and eyes. They're supposed to be alien, I'd be disappointed if none of them got a little abstract.
Opal and Sardonyx look like goddesses omg you did them so much jusice, especially with getting rid of the tacky shoes 😭 WHY was the crew always giving the gems that weird sock-shoe hybrid design, like??? Literally obsessed with your redesigns
🎤 I have to say, her with a Beethoven like design does definitely match her a lot more! Since Garnett likes to sing and how pearl likes to dance, I would definitely say they would fit more of the Beethoven vibe more then they would a game show vibe. So I love her! 🖤
🎤 I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR SARDONYX REDESIGN! From the neapolitan color pallete, to the absolutely fancy and elegant look, I have to claim Sardonyx as the winner for me 🤭.
🎤 Sardonyx was always my favorite. Her personality was so funny and just Out There. It was like Garnet and Pearl, both pretty uptight characters, could fully relax while fused. (Which fits because Pearl kind of used the Sardonyx fusion for her own purposes, iirc…been a looong time since I’ve seen SU.) All of the designs were great and I’d love to see you do more!
Tbh, i kinda liked og sugellite as even though we got the pretty gems, it comes to show not every fusion will turn out as a beauty. Some will become beasts and sugellite is one of them, the fusion more incorporates mainly ruby's and amethyst's personalities. Ruby's anger and amethyst's inferiority complex but times two which made sugellite more of a bully persona in the show.
FINALLY someone giving sugilite justice, i'm literally seeing people saying that she looks like a "poc caricature", like, WTF?? people can't see an more uglier looking character that they already saying that is a caricature
@@poisonjam3831 tbh it never crossed my mind, my first thought on it was a powerhouse like i see in videogames or the one really buff person but make them the size of a building.. basically she's big and buff. First two words when i saw her. And that made sense when the personality came in since when you think angry, you think of an explosion on a large scale.. and she pretty much does just that, she blows up, breaks shit and at the end gets poofed so it solidified fully through the entire thing was she was a bad mood in a nutshell but a needed one as how else will you relieve steam. :>
@@zuziiice8907 yeah! Cause she IS that, but some people cant think and Just want to see everything as problematic instead of looking at the characters idea
Am I the only one who doesnt think Sugilite's design is that bad? Like yea its not the best but it fits her vibe really well. She's supposed to be this moster looking character who's completely off the rails and destroys shit. The OG design communicates that really well. Its also been pretty well established that the more gems that are mushed together the more fucked the fusion will look. Sugilite is 3 gems, two of which are very chaotic and reckless. Its not even THAT ugly. The messed up arms and kinda funky outfit is the only truly ugly part. Her face is exaggerated but not that bad? Also not every character needs to be a damn model Making her like a diva rockstar is a cool concept, but it really misses the point that shes supposed to be monstrous, not humanoid. The more well balanced a fusion is the more human itll look and itll often have a nicer aesthetic and be put together. The whole point of Sugilite is that shes not well balanced. Making her a baddie doesnt communicate what she is at all. I think of her kind of like Malachite, theyre supposed to look like monsters who are destructive and really shouldnt be together. This design would also just look REALLY weird if scaled up to how big shes supposed to be. Like this is a 6' tall lady, not the kaiju shes supposed to be lol
☯️ That Opal redesign was beautiful! Had me wishing we got that in the actual show omg 😭 I love how you had a more thoughtful approach when it came to redesigning them.
Just found your channel and wanted to say..you got too much talent to have been flying under the radar for as long as you've done this. I like the attitude of your content. I really do.
If I were to redesign her, I'd lean more towards that Zen Goddess look; I'd keep her hair cuffs, and instead of ballet boots, or her og socks, I'd give her gladiator sandals 👀
Girl I just wanna say that you have NO IDEA how refreshing it is to watch your videos. I cry laughing every time because our humor is so similar, the way you were roasting sugalite had me folding! (2:48) Your art is so amazing and your content is so engaging too. I’m just always happy to see you on my page. And it’s also so nice to see more and more black artists as one myself. This is exactly what 8 year old me needed, my inner child has been healed. Thank you!! ❤️
First time I’ve ever laughed this hard watching an art video. Absolutely love the way you edit and your personality gives me so much energy! And your art?! STUNNING! I’m in LOVE with the first design and I don’t even watch Steven Universe 🩵
The moment you talked about Sugilite being responsible for Steven's fractured skull and showing the clip, you gained a follower and a like. Thank you for the laughter.
I absolutely love Sugalite and Sardonyx. And the hairstyle on Opal fuses Pearl and Amethyst so well. I didn't make the stiff pose comment, but you really through out some Great dynamic poses!!
Ok so I’m not sure if this’ll make sense but here we go: Opal’s shoes look like those yellow rubber dish gloves… but for feet. Like idk, that’s the best that I can describe that bit of chaos. 😭
in my head it kinda makes sense how sugalite was drawn less elegantly compared to pearl's fusions if you think about personality and their purposes it didn't really bother me
I gotta say, out of the three, I love Sugalite's new design the most. Mostly because of how much of a massive improvement it is from the show's design lmao. Some of these fusions did the characters so much dirtier than I remember.
Oh my goddd your Sardonyx 🎤 is everything. Garnet and Pearl were always my favorite characters so I just knew I’d love their fusion too. And I did, but it still felt… lacking somehow. Your redesign gave it all the things it needed and I’m obsessed
I think her name Sardonic really matches the composer vibes more than the tv host job. Like, when i first heard of her i imagine her to have that type of job. Just her name sounds like it should be a name of a music note, y'know? Edit: 🎤 🎙️
🎤 but the way my jaw dropped at Opal's hair. I will never be able to go back to Opal's canon design without wishing your hair for her was there instead.
I wanted to hear Queen Nicki do a rap song but when she didn't I was D E A D you get NICKI MINAJ the QUEEN OF RAP and not have her do a rap song...CRIMINAL. ILLEGAL. INJUSTICE. people should be locked up for that....
THANK GOD!! I was always APPALLED when Sugalite appeared it was ATROCIOUS! ive been loving your redraws man!! You feel like a bestie id complain about designs with!! /pos
i love seeing fan fusions. altho i think an important thing to note about Sugalite as a fusion is that shes actually a fusion of Ruby, Sapphire and Amethyst. Plus its important to take into account the gem's states of mind when fusing. I think you brought an interesting element regardless! and that opal redesign is amazing! im a fan of the original and yours too : )
Sunlite is my fav, but I love how you added more amethyt to Opal. I always thought she just kinda looked like a powered up pearl with none of amethyst.
I LOVE the Sardonyx redesign! She looks so elegant and fashionable and now I wish she had a more brown color scheme in the show because that looks SO GOOD. It’s the perfect in between of Garnet’s red and Pearl’s peach.
@@mohoejegi4876 It kinda does in this sense bc like for example a black person most def would be able to draw/design a black/black coded character better than a non black person would ever would do. Like if ppl are saying a character looks like a racial caricature then you def need more ppl of that racial identity to look over the design more bc 99.99% of the time they would know more than you when it comes to representing that racial identity.
i can't pick a favourite! but I'm in love with how harmonious the colours on sugilite look, how beautifully flowy opal's pose is and the outfit on sardonyx is soooooo pretty 🥺🥺 super glad i got reccomended this video, i love your artstyle and editing also youre super funny!!
