I did this a little bit ago while rewatching the Game Grumps playthrough of Windwaker. I literally took 5 mins coming up with the designs so I’m not too happy with them (especially Garnet). I got lazy and just slapped some grays on them.



Created a little au in my head (it’s a mess) of the gems while drawing…



…as seafaring adventurers and unlikely companions brought together by a similar cause- each is searching for a goddess (Rose) who saved them at some point in their lives. When they eventually find her, they have little time with her before she gives up her physical form to give birth to her son, Steven!



Pearl: A once proud captain for the Diamond Authority Navy and ace navigator, Pearl found herself marooned on a deserted island after her crew mutinied against her. Near death, she was nursed back to health by the goddess Rose, who brought the island to life with her powers, creating food and drinkable water. Pearl spent a year on the island with Rose getting to know her and falling in love with her. One day, Rose brought a ship towards the island to rescue Pearl, a ship captained by the mysterious treasure hunter, Garnet.



Garnet: Scourge of the Diamond Navy, Garnet is a treasure hunter but beyond that, no one else really knows much about her. There are plenty of rumours and legends, though!

Her crew completely trust her due to her almost seer like ability to find treasure, of which she barely uses for herself. She possesses superhuman, strength, lung capacity and, although apparently blind, moves as if she isn’t. Her connection to Rose is unknown but she is constantly looking for signs of her, especially after Pearl joined her crew.

Also, her ship was once owned by two famous traders who mysteriously disappeared. Did she kill and replace the owners or is something more incredible going on? Perhaps Sneeple are involved?



Amethyst: Orphaned as a child, Amethyst was adopted by two rich socialites who wished to raise her as the perfect lady. Their plans failed and they disowned her, casting her out to the streets. On her first night alone, Amethyst almost dies after a surprise storm sweeps her away from the beach she was walking on and out into the sea! Rose saves her and seeing her reluctance to go back to the shore and her life, Rose offers to take her somewhere else, specifically to Garnet’s ship. And so the trio are united!



I haven’t really thought much else about this and what happens when Steven comes along but if I do, I’ll make sure to draw something of it! I’ll end this wall of text now.
