This is quite a nice design you've come up with. I like the general look of the character; the whole design works well together and the small touches of color do really add to it.
I feel like this is mostly a design document/character reference, so I won't go too much into the pose being rather stiff, but one thing I wanted to point out is the foreshortening on the character's left arm. The arm is pointing forward, but is still (vertically) the same length as the non-foreshortened arm. If you're foreshortening a limb it generally appears shorter, at the moment it looks like the one arm is longer than the other arm, making the character seem unbalanced. Also on a minor note, I feel like the torso is slightly long compared to the limbs; this might be your intention or my preference, do with it what you will.
The green "scouter" on the character's face looks a bit weird how it just seems to be a singular plane without a real device or gadget attached; perhaps that's a part of SU I'm not really familiar with the show. The hair and face in general look a bit basic; nothing really wrong with them, but nothing exceptional about them either, I feel like perhaps you could've done more with those features.
I quite like what you've done with the colors, it's nice how the various shades of grey flow into one another, with sparse yellows and blacks to offer variety. I think it looks clean and functional, which I think is also quite the point with this characters, judging from your description.
In general I think this is quite an interesting design, I would love to see you do more with this character; perhaps a more contextual pose would be interesting, rather than the character just standing around. Keep up the good work and I hope this comment had some useful information for you!

hi, i'm from project comment .
i like the fandom gems, sometimes you find very good ones just like this one over here, starting with the color pallete, it's simple, that's good, for complex shapes like this, the less colours it has, better, now the anatomy, it works well for is purpose, but i don't think that will do much in battle, it look's... unstable, if the legs are ripped apart of the torso, why did he need legs?,i guess that green glass is like a screen showing info,it look's like a white diamond gem, but it has blue diamond emblem, maybe you should do the four versions (one per diamond)
if you get a cleaner sheet maybe i could try to do a 3d model (cause the parts are separated it's easy to create and rig). that's all i have to say, hope is usefull for you.

Could this be what to expect from Era 3?

Nice idea! I did Magnetite before this episode but i'm really temped to make new versions of some of my gemsonas for the Era 3 of SU.
It's a bit of a shame but i don't think we are getting many more new gems in SU, Era 3 will problably just be the theme for the revolution on Homeworld i think
