This was the animation test that got me my job as Lead Character Designer on the Steven Universe Movie and Steven Universe Future. My favorite part is the first one, where I got to design my own gem fusion. I also had to do a turn of Snowflake Obsidian and a Pose/Expression sheet of Opal, and Garnet in a wedding dress based on a board. Working on the movie and show was such a dream, I miss it <3
Two cute and pretty gender nonconforming jesters from space who are so silly and sweet and a little bit fucked up and loud and have anger / abandonment issues and two sides and pretty eyelashes and whore eyes and names that start with S.
They have a baby (also from space). She gets that passion for theater, great fashion sense, celestial theme, and a sprinkle of perfectionism from her dad; and the humor, temper, creativity, and ability to kick major ass from her mom. Cute as fuck like both of them, too.
This was supposed to be an impulsive 3AM joke ship. I will now refer to it as Sunel Starlet.
The final fight between Sonic and Nine reminded me of Steven and Spinel's fight in the SU movie 😆
This is a sneak peek of what I've been working on all week. It's still a work in progress, since all the sketches are rough and unfinished (and I was too lazy to draw Nine's mechanical tails 😅). I'm currently working on the second part of the song, because I'm leaving the fight sequence for last.
