Concepts for diamond ocs I don't have time to line and color. They'd be from an au where White decided to replace all the diamonds after pink was shattered because her shattering "exposed defects" within the diamonds.
C1, Dolomite
yellow gon get a lecture about attempting to shatter all the rose quartzes without permission.
Time for Element swap au Twilight Maelstrom, the element of Loyalty, and her lovely future cat wife, Lovely Grace!
Twilight does not talk about her childhood. For, it was a time she’d rather not revisit mentally. She was raised on the streets of Canterlot. She does not know what her family was like, for she was raised initially in an orphanage that had no records of who her biological family was. All she knew was the blood tests, which reveal a mixed heritage of kirin, thestral, and donkey.
Twilight quickly learned her mixed-blood was not appealing the average Canterlot noble, and went to the streets as a young filly. It was best she learned the ways of the streets now, before she was subject to them suddenly as soon as she became legal.
She was scooped up by Canterlot’s underbelly and learned the ways of crime. Even if she was a child, the gang she found was mostly earth ponies and pegasi, which were looked down upon in Canterlot. A unicorn was needed for any magic escapes needed. Even if she was a child.
During her time on the streets, she found that the “crime lords” weren’t necessarily “evil” as she had been taught at the orphanage. Rather, they were misunderstood and merely labeled as criminals for their appearance, race, or talents.
One day, her gang was arrested for “kidnapping” a foal. That foal being Twilight of course. Twilight rushed to her gang’s aid and went before Celestia herself. Spouting the injustices and kindness this gang had shown her more than any other pony had in her life. Celestia was moved by the plight of these ponies and started programs to help those in similar situations not turn to crime, and to eliminate not unicorn racism in canterlot. She knows it will take many generations to undo years of hate, but it will be worth it. Celestia also gave them all jobs in the castle as an apology for her guard’s rashness.
Including Twilight.
Twilight was given the duty to watch the underground of Canterlot. For, she seemed to know it best. She helped those who chose a life of crime; whether it be through carefully getting them back onto their feet- or making sure their “crimes” just weren’t harmful to the public at large. Any drugs they had were in a reasonable range, their influence isn’t reaching terrible heights, they aren’t physically or mentally harming anypony, or any other number of things.
This is what her cutie mark represents; her ability to help balance lawful and unlawfulness, and keep things in check. In harmony, if you will.
Twilight is still sent to Ponyville during the thousandth summer sun celebration because Celestia has a hunch that she was one of the new wielders of the elements of harmony after she found she could no longer wield them.
Lovely Grace was born in Abyssinia, like most catfolk. She heard tales of Equestria, a place where friendship was magic and things would be better than her harsh, dingy village. She moved there as soon as she had enough coin, and opened a tailor shop in the cheapest spot she could find; Ponyville. She was so happy to be among these bright and friendly ponies, she even changed her name to a more “ponyish” name. She is chipper, bright, optimistic, and loves and trusts anyone. Twilight will end you if you hurt her.
A small sketch to test out a concept.
Hitchcock has a small.... issue with blood. He's not.... scared of it, necessarily. It’s just.... any time he sees it-
Their screams fill the air. (Who's? And why-) His troops beg for mercy. (His? He's never.... Has he? A long forgotten mission maybe?) Ubris shows no mercy (Ubris? He's never liked Ubris. He never could place why. Well-) Ubris's face shows no emotion. (Sometimes something pricks at his mind.) Their blood colors Ubris's cloak a different color. (This very scene sometimes.) Please please please just let it stop- (He never remembers that the memory passed by until it passes again) Ubris coldly tells Hitchcock it's over (What's over? What is he forgetting?) So long as he never tries this again- (Tries what? What had he done?) He could live. (Why is he crying- living is good!)
The blood is dry and caked into him by the time he forgets. Did he spill food coloring? Odd. He doesn't remember. He should clean up.
Decided to redesign Dolomite. with bits pulled from @pocket-gems lovely redesign of her!
Rebels In The Night
Feels like your life is over. Feels like all hope is gone. You kiss it all away. Maybe, maybe- This is a second coming. This is a call to arms! Your finest hour won't be Wasted, wasted! Hey, hey! Hell is what you make, make! Rise against your fate, fate! Nothing's gonna keep you down! Even if it's killing you! Because you know the truth! Listen up, listen up; There's a devil in the church! Got a bullet in the chamber, And this is gonna hurt! Let it out, let it out! You can scream and you can shout! Keep your secrets in the shadows and you'll be sorry!
(There comes a time you've gotta face it, face it)
FINALLY HAVE TIME TO SIT DOWN AND DRAW HIM. This is Poet (he/they)! Another new mc for Our Life. This time romancing Baxter :^)
He works at a children's "cryptozoology" museum that shows off odd and lesser known animals in fun and educational ways. He mainly works with the bugs they keep as exhibits but does work with the other bugs. They also sometimes are that person that visits schools with a buncha animals (bugs or snakes or the like) as an educational show.
Man it’s been a while since I posted any sanders sides stuff, huh?
So I had this dream the other night, pretty much right after Crofters part 2 aired. The dream was brief, but the concept was there.
Roman had ducked out (quack), leaving Thomas unable to summon any of the normal sides. It was his creativity that caused him to put a face to aspects of his personality, after all. He tried Roman first, then Logan, then Patton, then Virgil, even Janus, until finally he tried Remus.
Remus was the only one summonable. He explained it was likely Roman ducked out, And Thomas needed a game plan. Lest he loose his spark all to create together and loose Remus too.
Remus had a solution, but it might not be favorable in Thomas’s eyes. In order to help Thomas create a game plan, he needed his aspects. The only way to get his aspects was for Remus to try his hand at creating them. They would be different, Remus warned, Not the sides Thomas was used to. They would be how Remus saw the different aspects of Thomas. Hidden parts of those aspects that Thomas shoved away.
Thomas agreed. That was when the dream ended, but I found myself wanting to concept these Remus versions of the sides.
Grey is Remus;s vision of Morality, very different from the lovely Patton we know and love. He’s got a more, well, grey view on morality. That not all decisions have a black and white, right and wrong answer. That there is little purpose to try being good in a world full of such terrible negativity and badness. But, that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t try anyway. Because, at his core, Thomas is a good person. Resulting in Grey wanting to try anyway. Even if he doesn’t see much reason in it.
I’ll do more of these versions of the sides if people are interested!
A few design notes:
Grey is not wearing his jacket normally. Rather, it is draped over his shoulders.
I gave Grey a black and white color scheme to symbolize the generalized idea of a black and white mindset. And gave him the name of Grey to symbolize his thoughts on all that.
Grey has a friendship bracelet on his right wrist, decked in the colors of the other sides. He still loves them all, a softy at heart. Despite the melancholy attitude.
Grey’s necklace is his emblem. A yin/yang skull.
He does not wear the sunglasses on his head as actual eye protection ever. They’re just fashionable.
He almost always has a lollipop of various flavors. It generally changes depending upon his mood. He also has a stash of other candy in his coat pockets.
It’s not shown here, but he has a small gap between his two front teeth!
another gem from my oc au that I’ve been sitting on for a bit. In this au, mixed gem fusions are legal. Dolomite uses she/they pronouns.
This is Dolomite. One of the oldest gems in existence. Older than even Yellow and Blue Diamond. And one of the most mysterious. No one knows what their components are (although the fact that her gems are upon her forehead and her upper right palm are known to a few). No one alive knows when, how, or why they formed. No one knows if her cane is summoned or built by some long shattered gem.
What is known, is that iths gem is one of, if not the highest ranked non diamond gem. They are the right hand to White Diamond, being her favorite gem. She knows secrets to gem kind only White is privy to. She keeps White’s schedules, her notes, her counts, attends appointments in her place, and anything else the Diamond orders of them. Often, they even come in the place of White Diamond and makes a ruling for her, knowing what their Diamond would like best.
They do own a Pearl, and find the Pearl beautiful. They gift her many treasures meant for war heroes and the like. Even gems trapped within objects for her to wear. Only the best for their Pearl.
Dolomite’s cane is always with them. They use it to assist their walking, as it seems they have a slight limp. The can can turn into a lightning shooting destabilizer at will.
Dolomite has never poofed in public. They have gotten hurt in attacks, of course. But they always manage to keep it together long enough to poof in private. Even one time going as far as to report to White Diamond while still having a spear impaled through their abdomen.
Dolomite is considered the most powerful non Diamond gem, and is highly respected and feared. Despite her being a fusion (mixed gem fusions are still treated not great in this au). Yellow Diamond thinks it’s ridiculous she has to report to a fusion of all things most of the time. Blue Diamond finds Dolomite charming, and thinks White keeps her for decoration. A walking, talking, very high rank decoration. But both know better than to insult them.
