Yeah, I've seen the initial Lapis designs, and I really like them. Her hair was much wilder, and the design felt like it showed more of the power that she has, whereas her final design looks much weaker than her actual power is.

I wanna find some of the earliest Jasper designs though. I bet they'd look cool.

Alright, here is that Lapis design that didn't get used. I was checking wikia and they didn't have that.

[up]Right here.

[up]Lapis looks a lot more unhinged.

Jasper meanwhile, looks like Nimrod.

Lapis looks a lot more unhinged.
For comparison, this was the final version of that first shot.

Putting aside the hair and facial expression, her face/head is also really different. It's much rounder.

Interestingly, while that board has Lapis's face constantly wet, in the final version no part of her body is visibly wet, even when other people are. Presumably because she holds the water off.

Jasper meanwhile, looks like Nimrod.
The artist describes her as a "geometric anvil".
I found some Connie concept art, but the only difference is that she's taller (like pilot Steven, actually).

So which one is which, then? I figured Eyeball would be Recoome, I think that means Navy and Leggy are Burter and Jeice.

On that last one, it's worth bringing up that Pearl (directly or not) has brought up several times that she not only doesn't know how to move on, but she doesn't even know what to move on to. "Last One Out of Beach City" stands out in no small part because she finally seems to have figured out an answer to the latter, and as at least trying to do the former.

Of the Crystal Gems, I always feel the most sympathy for Pearl, because she's the one that still seems most trapped by what she should be, despite all her struggle and despite (though in some ways, precisely because of) the fact that she was part of Rose's coterie the longest of the present day main characters.

I get that a lot of people aren't the biggest fans of Pearl, but I do feel dismayed when people offer no sympathy for her and expect her to shut up and get over it.

When I started watching this show, Pearl was easily my least favorite gem due to her speciesism. The revelation that all pearls are slaves only made her look like a hypocrite for making fun of how weak humans are. My opinion of her softened over time, though.

Can't Lapis control snow? Since it's a form of water and everything.

EDIT: And I initially didn't like Pearl at all for her speciesism and in general terrible attitude, she has objectively improved as a character.

Plus, all of the Gems are mildly speciesist so I've kinda gotten over that part.

Maybe she can control water directly but ice is a little harder

it's funny because ice is rather harder than liquid water

So question: do the crewniverse do both writing and drawing?

Yes they do. Different people on the crew do the writing and storyboarding but still.

Does Lapis know snow is made if water?
