Pearlplusau 2021 artwork feature # 5

This next artwork feature is one of their first posts in their account, the name of their account is puffstel, but they decided to create a new account for new art. The links to the post and the new acc for the artist are at the end of the post. 

Here we see fanart for the fan made AU animatic, where its the first animatic posted in introducing the AU by Tripixle. 

The poster has 4 characters, Pink diamond facing towards the earth, therefore her back facing the other three gems. This may symbolize how she’s turning her back to facing the certain actions done by “another gem” and her companions. After that we have Rose, her back against Pink diamond with a little grin and hidden eyes under the shades. 

We see Rose holding on to different objects on each hand, on the left we have a rose flower with the stem entwinning itself to Rose’s arm, as well as the Rose dotted background. The other side of her hand is Pink diamond’s gem, it may not be literally her gem, but it would also symbolize how she still has the duties and the responsibilities of a Diamond. The background on the right side is dotted with a bunch of diamonds in various sizes and shades of pink. 

I think it represents how the same gem needs to take care of the two personalities. Even though one would be deemed more important than the other, it wouldn't hide the fact of who Rose really is by taking a different form. 

The other significant thing is the two pearls locking hands, which looks like a redraw of the original animatic thumbnail. 

But overall, its great artwork! I really like the details like the significance of the rose and diamond symbols, which tells us not only the different sides of the same gem, but also the two pearls involved. One pearl being with the gem for the earlier stages of her gem life (diamond life), knowing the gem from the start till the end, and the other pearl, who has a more prominent time during the rebellion, knows the gem as someone who was trying to be better. 

If i have to nitpick and critique the artwork, its that Rose looks a lot more slimmer than she should be. 

And i know the theme is supposed to be pink and light, but maybe the background could be in a completely different colour to enhance or magnify the dotted symbols.

Little fact between our interactions: They were really nice and really appreciate being asked for permission to repost their artwork, even though its in an abondoned account. Tho, they probs didnt saw the request for the first few days, which if they didnt respond at all, i would have posted with more precaution, like letting them know that i will take the post down if they dont cherish the idea of reposting artwork to another platform.
