(Minerva Gems) Peridoh

Peridoh, a major character from the collaborative Steven Universe fan project known as "Minerva Gems".

Peridoh is a peridot who was conceived on an experimental breeding colony known as Minerva, and is the "daughter" of the main character Olivine. In the era that she exists in, gemkind has managed to find new cost effective methods of making gems that renders kindergartens obsolete, the gems on Minerva in particular being made with the unique ability to create more gems via a process analogous (yet also quite dissimilar) to hermaphroditic sexual reproduction. The result of this is what is known as a "Gemling", which is born underdeveloped and requires time to mature. Peridoh in particular was born with an undersized, damaged gemstone and a malformed right arm.

Peridoh has 58,612 faces/117,036 triangles, and is extraordinarily small, being only 0.4 m (1 ft) tall in Blender units. Her textures are all in 4k, and she has a facial rig consisting of bone-driven shape keys. She also has the honor of being one of the few character models I've made that has an asymmetrical base mesh, with her right arm being larger and disfigured compared to her more normal left arm.

Peridoh is a character created by my associate Meiu, and Minerva Gems is heavily based on the universe and lore of Rebecca Sugar's "Steven Universe".
