a different kind of gem war

An anonymous user on Tumblr sent me a message asking me if I'd ever be down for drawing some "Lapidot tickle fluff" ("Lapidot" being the fan name for shipping characters Peridot and Lapis Lazuli), citing that I've "drawn tickling art before!" And I just wanted to respond with WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM before I started to entertain the thought and realized "oh no it's cute"

So while I'm still lost in the fandom that is Steven Universe, it only felt right to deliver on their request, mostly because it just sounded like fun, but I imagine a lot of you guys were probably wondering when I'd draw some tickling again. It's about time, right? I can promise that my original characters are still alive and well, but man, when you're having this much fun with a TV show you love so much, you just can't help but draw something in the moment. And I've been drawing more lately than ever before. You should check out my art blog and see what I've been up to! Yes, it's mostly all Steven Universe these days, but who's surprised?? There will be more original content there... someday soon!
