Aventurine: Behind the Scenes (concept sketches) (Patreon)

Long time no talk, pals! I am here with some bonus content for y'all! namely - Aventurine concept art! 

I think I started planning for her back in June of 2020, and started seriously sketching her down around then. It was a bit of a brute-force process because I didn't have any SOLID ideas for her except the goggles, two mouths, and her general hair-shape. But the first two iterations of her still ended up being pretty peridot-y. 

I had originally planned to have her be more green, closer in tone to Malachite, but it shifted teal-er as we went. She also didn't have the second set of arms until about November, when I was drawing the season finale! This was the original 'finalized' concept sketch. 

The wings were going to just go directly into the limb enhancers - but that didn't make too much sense, although it did look cool. I like the idea that they're still physically attached to her limbs. 

Hope you guys enjoyed these small peeks behind the curtain!
