just something I enjoyed coloring of Citrine as a human. I like her character enough and she's become separate enough from Ceru that I want to be able to use her for more than just Gem stuff. the human version of Citrine is actually canonically Cerulesta's (fraternal) twin sister-- which I feel helps explain the resemblance. Ceru's hairstyle has changed a little (her bangs are straight now rather than messy like Citrine's, and her hair is longer than Citrine's overall) and their body types are a bit different as well, though they still are very similar because of the fact that, well, Citrine used to BE Ceru, just as a Gem.
I feel like this picture is a pretty good summary of Citrine's personality overall: mopey, dismal, and full of boundless self-loathing. she is not a happy character, and the things that do make her happy are generally kind of fucked up. Ceru is actually a much more cheerful person by comparison; Citrine has always been lacking in the talent department when compared to her sibling, and she has difficulty finding joy in her life... which is probably why she's so quick to discard it.
she functions as my 'willing' prey character counterpart to Ceru's 'unwilling', though considering her motivations for being willing are a lack of regard for her own well-being and often a genuine desire to just roll over and die... it can be a little unnerving or upsetting to think about too hard. I find that much more interesting and emotional than her just being okay with death for no particular reason, though. ;v;

But it adds to the depressing mood D: She needs it!
Posted by Apostolos 8 years ago Report
Hmm, what would make it really depressing the rain splashing off of a sharp unwelcoming gothic scenery
Posted by rexstars35 8 years ago Report
Meh try living the south its sad here :p
Posted by Apostolos 8 years ago Report
I am in the south with its humid bogs and swamps filled with desiccated hidden piles of human remains
Posted by rexstars35 8 years ago Report
Sounds better than walking thru crowds of dip sucking bigots but sry for your plight
Posted by Apostolos 8 years ago Report

If you guys are going to have an unrelated conversation, would it be all right if you did it in PMs rather than in the comments section of my picture, please? ;v; I keep getting notifications for your comments and they aren't even related to my art.
Posted by Apostolos 8 years ago Report
Oh I am terribly sorry about that Ms. Ceru I'll stop
Posted by rexstars35 8 years ago Report
Sry bout that but ur pic is nice :D
Posted by Cerulesta 8 years ago Report
Yeah, that would probably look cool... but unfortunately I loathe drawing backgrounds, so I can't be assed to put forth the effort to draw pretty Gothic buildings. ;v; Alas.
Posted by Apostolos 8 years ago Report
Yeah the architects of the old days were definitely great at making an imposing building

I love the bleakness of the picture. It's beautiful and absolutely wonderful!
I also adore the way you created her figure, making her adorably plump downwards across her middle and around her hips.
She's definitely a filling morsel for any lucky pred who'll gobble her up.

Thank you my friend <3 I do agree that Citrine does have a rather cute figure... her being slightly chub is endearing to me, even though it's just a minor detail. Drawing this picture was really relaxing for me, I definitely wanted to capture that depressing mood to the best of my ability.
Posted by Raruha 8 years ago Report
I certainly hope to see more of this adorable chub Citrine!
Posted by GinRyuKaza 8 years ago Report
As sad as she looks, she looks adorable! ^^
Posted by Cerulesta 8 years ago Report
Thanks ;v; Quite a few people have expressed wanting to give her a hug or taking pity on her, and I can see where they're coming from, more often than not. She leads a pretty dull and sad life.
Posted by GinRyuKaza 8 years ago Report
She sounds like she needs an adventure crazed friend who leads her threw dangerous city subways filled with supernatural critters! ^^
Posted by The_Prof 8 years ago Report
kinda odd for the orange one to be feeling blue now isn't it?
Posted by Cerulesta 8 years ago Report
Hahah, yeah, it is kind of ironic that my character who wears all black (Ceru) is the cheery one, and my character who wears all bright sunny colors (Citrine) is the dismal one. You'd definitely think it would be the opposite. Citrine would probably wear darker colors, but I like the outfit I designed for her, and her color scheme derives from her name and the color of the Gem she originally was... I like her having all those citrus-colored tones, even if it clashes with her depressing personality.
Posted by The_Prof 8 years ago Report
aye you do work in opposites. What next you create some big brutish hulk that keeps winding up prey and a tiny little 6 inch tall girl who is the most dangerous predator in the land?
Posted by Cerulesta 8 years ago Report
Nah, I doubt that. Same size is the most 'outlandish' thing I'd do in that vein of things, and I have trouble drawing that, even. I'm not fond of extreme size differences where the predator is smaller than the prey, or role reversal in general. ;v; But I do like some other stuff that's definitely unconventional, even if not that particular thing.
Posted by The_Prof 8 years ago Report
well it's always fun to be unorthadox that's for sure.
But if the day comes when Ceru becomes a willing pred we may have to commit you cause you'll have clearly gone mad
Posted by Cerulesta 8 years ago Report
Hahahahaha, I'd sooner die :'D
Posted by The_Prof 8 years ago Report
well since Ceru tends to be your avatar and she's died many a time in your work. I suppose that statement rings quite true
Posted by Cerulesta 8 years ago Report
no, I mean I'd sooner die in real life :I ... and that's not something I actually want to happen, contrary to what my fantasy character bullshit might lead you to believe
the idea of having Ceru as a pred makes me legitimately uncomfortable, though, for real. even if you're joking, I'd rather everyone just understand that it will never happen and drop the subject. ;v;
Posted by The_Prof 8 years ago Report
yeah I understand how you feel. Some scenarios just don't appeal to others and seeing certain characters in certain positions is uncormfortable.
Oh and don't worry I was joking :P
Posted by Cerulesta 8 years ago Report
Thanks dude. ;v; I'm glad you get it. And I had a feeling you were just kidding around anyway. There have just been people in the past who haven't been kidding when they make that particular suggestion to me, so it tends to give me a bit of a kneejerk reaction.
Posted by The_Prof 8 years ago Report
nah worry not I'm a pretty chill dude. If you feel uncomfortable with it I wouldn't probe.
Though that doesn't mean I wouldn't suggest something like Ceru ABOUT to eat someone then says "you think Ceru's the pred here"... Then she takes off her mask... "BUT IT WAS ME DIO!"
Posted by Sarbiton 8 years ago Report
Is that some mad eyeshadow or is she just fed up of everyone's shit forever?
Posted by Cerulesta 8 years ago Report
She's just super done and super tired, lol. :'D
Posted by Bitter 8 years ago Report
"So how was YOUR week, Ceru?"
"I died, like, three times. Maybe four; I think I might have blocked out the last one."
"Lucky bitch."
Posted by CGR-7 8 years ago Report
This seems most befitting, then, Ceru.

#relatable
Posted by Cerulesta 8 years ago Report
;V; I can't help but agree with you on that one to an extent, though I'm still not sure whether or not Citrine being relatable is a good thing since her story is so depressing. But since she's one of my two self-insert trashlords, it's only natural that I relate to her on at least a few counts.
Posted by vasp 8 years ago Report
Oh my, I do like this development quite a bit! ...Though I suppose this means twice as much busy work for the neighborhood reaper <.<
Posted by Cerulesta 8 years ago Report
Hahahaah! Yeah, pretty much... though I don't think he has to try too hard, considering Ceru's tendency to get herself into awful situations and Citrine literally throwing herself into them intentionally. ;v;
