I didnt wanna make a long post but i ended up doing it cuz its got a lot of pictures so under the cut it goes. I’ve seen a lot of posts talking about the massive shift in style change steven universe’s been goin thru. These images come from two different episodes Left: Bubby Buddies, and Right: Steven’s Birthday

Now the episode “Stevens Birthday”  was written and storyboarded by Lamar Abrams and Katie Mitroff 

I’m gona post an example of each boarders art to show the difference in styles

i would just embed the tweets but idk how to do that sorry ^^;

if u browse their twitters u can see thier art styles are influenced majorly by anime so going off model. Also ironically enough this entire episode was about steven stretching his limbs in order to appear older so there were a lot of “inconsistencies” 

now back to connies image on the left which is from the episode bubble buddies from season 1

That episode was originally boarded by  Kat Morris and  Aleth Romanillos, Kat Morri’s most recent episode was “Kevin Party” and Aleth Romanillos has since revised Gem Glow. (this is all accordin to the wiki so if any of this is incorrect hmu and ill fix it) 

Kat Morris:

All i could find on the wiki 

Aleth Romanilos: 

I really dont think its fair to say that the boarders are so off model that it looks “unprofessional.” Animation is about creating the illusion of movement through still images theres going to be panels that are squash and stretch and theres going to be panels that have chibi style characters and theres of course going to be errors of course. 

But claiming that the boarders are going “off model” is just ignorant, artist interpretation is going to change when u have several different boarders making episodes. Even if there are inconsistencies in the episodes Connie still looks like Connie going off model would be like giving connie a third arm and making her green or something. 

You can think watever u want of steven universe but dont say that the animators are “lazy” for style changes. Animation is hard ass work and there are gonna be errors, but making mistakes does not equate to laziness.

2 different sets of people boarded and wrote these episodes. Its not right to claim that they’re lazy for following  their interpretation of the characters. Steven universe has model sheets and the animators follow those sheets but style is always going to dictate how they draw. If yall are makin fun of stuff like this i cant imagine what kina thoughts yall have about the pilots style. 

#su critical #i think yall just kina like makin fun of people show at this point' #if yall dont enjoy it dont watch it #its not that hard #imo im kina regret making this cuz i spent time on this but a bunch of edgy kids who argue about cartoons are gonna be all over this #i just cant stand the whole su critique when there is no critque to be had its only ppl makin fun of the boarders style #critiquing means u gotta leave some constructive feed back and have some thought into it #the whole su critical tag is just a bunch a bullies rly.
