I made lil sprite edits of the gem mermaids, mostly just for character design practice-

Zoom in under cut!

I leaned heavily on what parts of the ocean they'd likely been based on. Crimson's likely the community and protector of her pod/kingdom, so I wanted her to be more armored up and battle damaged with a subtle shark aethstetic. {i'm sorry I didn't touch her sea horse, just assume they look they exact same}

Aquamarine strikes me as the more emotionally available one that cares for the pod in a more intimate way compared to Crimson. Say tending to young when parents are busy collecting food, hearing the community out and taking it to her sisters for assistance and just being an extra set of hands. Citrine is the one who is typically in charge of construction and just general aethstetic of their homes, but who's true passion is planning celebrations. just generally likes to keep moral and spirits high for the pod. Opal seems like someone based deeply in the deep zones of the ocean, so I just leaned more heavily into that. using the rainbow colors of opals as an excuse to snag the rainbow bioluminescence of a lot of marine life down there. And she's relied on for predictions of the sea and general worship of the mighty sea and the tear.

And darling little Pearl. I gave her more blues and darker colors, specifically the black with sparkles on her "skirt" to better fit with her whole moon theming.

Am i the only one who hates when sci-fiesq movies jump straight into action?

Let me set a scene so yall can understand what i mean:

In the year 21XX, everyone that turns 18 has to go trough some kind of ritual, everyone has done it, for thousands of years

And then we met the protagonist, and they have a friend who is doing the ritual before them in some way, wethere they are a year older or only one person can do it at a time. In the meantime, the protagonist meets the rebel, aka the one that either 1. knows the truth, or 2. joins the other rebels

A few minutes worth of movie goes by and before the protagonist is able to do the ritual, they are wisked away by the rebles (or joins them after realizing the ritual has changed their friend) and then the movie spends the rest of its run time with the rebels and telling and sometimes showing how the ritual does all kinds of bad stuff

I wanna someday see a movie where the protagonist actually does the ritual, is brainwashed by it (and the audience does to) before being forced to join or being kidnapped by the rebels and then we have the plot twist of why the ritual is bad. Like a sense of normalcy, and a little bit of boring stuff before the audience realizes "oh shi- there's still a whole hour to go"

btw Im very much not a movie critic, i guess its just the world building part of my brain that is always screaming to know more
