Athena as drawn by  ShoNuff44 and colored by  Upstairstudios I was inspired by Steven Universe. I was trying to create a gem character, but decided to create an artificial gem so if they come up with whatever gem type I used, I wouldn't have to redesign the character. When I ended up doing is having the gem based off an AI named Athena and thus look like the goddess, actually this could just be the goddess, I'll let the viewer decide. Sho did a wonderful job on the character, including Aegis, Athena's shield.
