Trying something different for a change.

I wanted to challenge myself with some colour, since it's probably not my best skill; try a different, more striking palette.

Seeing that I've been enjoyed Steven Universe quite a lot, the color themes in the show are just top of the game and that I had some fan-theories of my own I decided to do my own take on a rather underdeveloped character.

When I first saw Alexandrite I was quite disappointed... the design is... meh. Specially considering most fusions are pretty badass, this one seems rather bland on first sight. It's also introduced pretty much as a joke. Showing up for a dinner party.. so.. well. Then I remembered that second monster-like jaw, that reminded me the character could also be pretty gruesome AND taking into account that gem fusions usually keep all of their eyes, it just made sense that the total number would add up to 7 (2+2+3 eyes from all three gems) that matches pretty well the location of Alexandrite's lenses if the biggest ones would fit two eyes on each side. The result is a pretty monstruos character with 6 arms, 7 eyes, 2 jaws...

And also I used this to practice som emore lighting and sparkling effects which is also fan.

Anyway, hope you like it : D
