Since @fuzzy-smiles changed their gemsona to Opalite, I took the liberty of making a new fusion for Charoite and Opalite! This is Rainbow Moonstone, and they’re a lovely amalgam of two gr8 gems. The hair is more wispy and wavy than it should be, but I’ll probably fix it if I decide to color this, I figure.

I like to think Charoite rather enjoys memes, but he always gets into them long after they cease to be relevant.

//This is literally the first thing I’ve ever animated, oops.//

Boy Howdy, it’s been a while since I’ve broken out the tablet! I’ve still got a commission to finish ((I’ve had the most massive art block as of late, yikes)), so I decided to get myself back in the groove so hopefully tomorrow I can have a blast with that. OvO

This is Charoite’s second form- his outfit after he regenerated for the first time. I’ve given his backstory before, but to recap: He was another Kindergarten gem, and woke up during the tail end of the war. He didn’t know any about what he was supposed to be doing or what he really was, besides any instinctive knowledge he was “born” with.

This little tyke wandered around for quite a while before meeting an individual named Galileo Galilei, who taught Charoite about the stars and planets above that he’d been observing. This resonated with Charoite, and he became resolute to get to space, having this innate knowledge that his “home” was there. Unfortunately, he didn’t really have any method of getting into space, so he tried the next best thing- he climbed the tallest mountain in Europe, thinking that might get him close enough to reach the moon and stars above.

…that shit didn’t work. The little clod fell right off the peak of the mountain and ended up resting in his gem for quite some time before regenerating into the outfit pictured above. While in his gem, it actually got washed into a stream, carrying him all the way out to the ocean. When he regenerated, he was on the shores of an unfamiliar place. Not too long after that, he would encounter Opalite.

I FINALLY made a colorful version of Rainbow Moonstone, the fusion of my gemsona ((Charoite)) and @fuzzy-smiles‘ ((Opalite)).

Rainbow Moonstone possesses some of the best traits of the two gems that comprise them: the passion and vigor of Charoite with the kindness and generosity of Opalite. On the other hand, Rainbow Moonstone does also have some of the detrimental traits of both parties; they can be overly-dramatic at times, with a shockingly short temper that switches them from calm to livid in an instant. However, they’re gallant and determined, confident in the strengths of the gems that compose them. Their weapon is a form of spear, combining Charoite’s scythe and Opalite’s trident.

More like Crystal NERDS amiright?
Gemsonas include Opalite ( @fuzzy-smiles), Charoite( @justaprinceofthegalaxy) and Lavendulan( Me!)

I got a fresh sketchbook and some new inking pens, so I figured I’d try one of those month-long challenges! I don’t know if I’ll update every day, but I do want to finish all 30 drawings.

I’ve chosen @gemsona-hq‘s 30 Day Gemsona challenge because it looks like a hell of a lot of fun, and drawing Charoite is very fun.

With that, here is the first drawing-

Day 1: Introduction

If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ve probably seen him before. You’ll learn much more about him over the course of the month, of course, so I’ll just say a bit for now.

He is a gem living on earth with his closest companion, Emerald. He’s small, hasty, and rather defensive, but he’s also passionate and ebullient to no end. He’s much like a shooting star in that he is so intense and bright, but this exlosion of energy can cause him to burn out.

However, no matter how many times Charoite does burn out, he’s a unique shooting star, because he’ll keep coming back for a nother brilliant display. His strongest qualities are the courage to start over after a trauma or trial, and his loyalty and support for those he loves deeply.

The extremely talented @asphyxion was doing a special on commissions and his art style is my kryptonite, so I had to request a picture of Charoite. This is perfect- beyond what I even envisioned. I am so in love with this I really cannot even begin to describe how gorgeous this is! Please check out his blog and art- he is SO talented.
