WD!AU Season 3 FINALE: the Planning Stages
Added 2020-11-30 13:37:05 +0000 UTCWarning: The following content will spoil at least a part of the upcoming Season 3 Finale comic including the appearance of a character and some plot turns. Please don't read if you want to avoid spoilers until the official release!
I had initially been planning to get to the finale a lot earlier than this, but alas, life happens to the best of us. During my lunchbreak at work today, I spent some time making a very mysterious chart which will help me later...
Posted here without any context:
Along with that, I did some very quick thumbnailing for the comic.
And today, instead of re-sketching those pages I turned around and realized I never finalized the design for another character which is due to appear in the comic.... So I got down to that real quick. And because I love you guys so much, here she is!
Yep, Rainbow is set to have a debut in the comic, and her weapon as I've designed it is going to be a fan.
I considered making it an umbrella like for Rainbow 2.0, but that's very specifically a Steven and Pearl thing, and I wanted something a bit more serious, with a refined-regency-damsel feel to it.
Let me know what you think in the comments! Her design is still set to change a bit, probably before I finalize it in the comic itself, but the main idea probably won't shift significantly.
I think this probably doesn't need to be said but - please do not repost these images on any other social media. (Talking about it in the #au-spoiler channel in the Discord is ok, but only with spoiler tags.)

Yep!

2020-12-01 14:16:42 +0000 UTCI really like the idea of rainbow quartz using a fan as her weapon, but in the picture it looks like her fan is as tall as she is, was that intentional?

2020-12-01 05:13:47 +0000 UTCIs there supposed to be a gradient of color, and then two images? I can't tell if something is messing up :/

2020-12-01 04:09:40 +0000 UTCShe's gorgeous! I love the fan idea, I was a bit surprised I didn't see any gems with one, especially fancy ones like Pearl or Aquamarine (but to be fair, Aqua don't deserve a fan). So excited!

2020-11-30 14:40:37 +0000 UTCThe weapon perfectly fits this fusion! One thing I can say is that fusions' clothes tend to be a mix of the ones worn by each half, and in this design I'm not sure that connection is there, but honestly the clothes you came up with are so incredible that it doesn't matter. Be sure to do a full turnaround, I get the feeling that the suit's tail is gonna be hard to draw depending on the shot's perspective!
