Anyone interested in discussing this? The book officially comes out tomorrow but it's already available in some bookstores. Someone will probably end up scanning it soon but the images I'm going to post are from an user on /sug/ who got the book early. I thought it would be cool to get the word out for those who haven't heard of it yet and convince people to buy it for themselves, there's a lot of pages that haven't been uploaded online yet.
Steven Universe Art and Origins
Looks promising
All the main characters have their concept art included in it
...
Just stuff on character theme music
Looks like shit. Just like the show.
ebin post XD
>pearl is a selfish cunt
Stay angry because I don't like what you like.
a labeled world map
Why come to this thread then?
Because this is Sup Forums, not the Steven Universe hugbox board. Negative comments on a show are allowed.
I mean, I just don't get the logic of coming to a thread for the sake of bitching about a show you don't even watch.
Let's agree to disagree. The book looks like shit AND that user was a dick for coming into the thread just to bitch about it.
>Rebecca chose to simplify the character designs because she wants her boarders to have different ways of drawing them
I like to watch the show to make fun of it. It's fun to laugh at a show and bitch about the stupid things in it.
>new Australia
>India is now island
Imagine their rivers
Is this the full map? Or just a part of it?
Well, theres a negative comment and entering a post to call something shit and then leaving. That's just baiting.
...
Watching something you don't like doesn't sound too fun, to be honest.
Holy shit, I left the thread? I didn't even realize.
To each their own. It's like watching a bad movie to make fun of it.
I think it might just be part of it
>Rose (((( as remembered by others))))
The implications there...maybe she will appear eventually.
...
>labeled world map
YES
If this is accurate, it implies that Steven and Lapis flew from Empire City to Russia in a matter of minutes during Same Old World.
Only half of it
>Mr. Smiley and Mr. Frowny are confirmed lovers
Fuuuuck, I may not be into SU as much as I was before, but I'm still gonna get this. I still care about the show a lot along with it's lore.
Here is the other part of the map
Sugar's handwriting kind of reminds me of an architects. But messier
...
>Pangea
>Florida Archipelago
I wonder if the show will ever explain any of these things or if it will continue to disappoint me. I already know the answer
>They drove the length of the US to get to Lapis
That's at least a 4-5 day trip
Map of Beach City
Oops
Other news: Water is wet
Steven concept art
Cont.
I miss how he looked earlier in the show -- like he's fat and not like his head is consuming his body.
Amethyst concept art
I did too, Kat Morris said they intentionally made him and other characters more chibi and cute as the show progressed and I think it's retarded
This thread is awesome thank you OP
Did they mention anything about Zach Callison's voice becoming more high pitched than in the show's beginning?
Garnet concept art
this shit on .pdf yet?
Zach was just a kid when he started voicing Steven amd used to make his voice lower to sound like Steven, after his voice deepened when he hit puberty he had to start making his voice higher pitched to sound like Steven which is why he sounds like a squeaky chipmunk now
>tfw they didn't put the ed edd n eddy nudes in here
Jasper concept art
Weird, because Kat Morris Steven in the first Steven in the closest we got to Rebecca's original concept, a 13 year old boy. Not the 6 year old we get these days.
...
Peridot concept art
It's sad that Zuke had to ruin Peridot by making her a self insert character
Tumblr noses
Lapis concept art
...
Bismuth concept art
nice
She's gone now, Sugar realized that she went out of control, and for once as showrunner, decided to put her foot down on a storyboarder and kick her out.
Remember user, Bad Shipping is a plague that can spread quickly, Lapidot is a good example for horrible shipping going overboard, other examples include Klance and Bubbline.
>Shapeshifting Pearl
Greg concept art
Should have gone the AT route and just let Steven age.
...I'm really digging the idea of a rail-thin Peridot with a giant Hellboy-style Right Hand of Doom.
Connie concept art
She can't shut up about self inserting into Peridot and shipping her meme ship for five minutes, she wastes a bunch of space on different pages of the art book talking about it
Maybe this can get a call-back in the show itself once we met a First Generation Peridot who is shown to be taller, stronger, and complete control over her magnet powers, maybe becoming a rival/mentor to the CG's Peridot.
I love how Connie looks here, she actually looks good without her glasses in the concept art not unlike the show where I preferred her with her glasses/
Stevonnie concept art
Pearl concept art
This was a mistake.
Lars and Sadie concept art
So laziness?
Centipeetle concept art
Ruby and Sapphire concept art
Sugar's liquid television drawing style is really nasty to look at.
Fusion concepts
Oh man dat uncorrupted centipeetle
Misc. gem concepts
Temple concepts
What's the context of these? Are they just fanart or the staff brainstorming?
I'll start posting the pages where the crewniverse members actually talk in-depth about the show
It's a staff exercise where they sketch an original gem, them another staff member comes up with characteristics for it.
>Pearl and Amethyst are heavily influenced by their voice actresses
>Lapis is a depression meme
>Rebecca is a Jasperfag
>implying we weren't right about Garnet
>implying that restricting everything To Steven's POV doesn't hinder the potential of all the characters' growth and development
It only worked well during season one.
>Rebecca is a workaholic
Damn Sadie's mom got curves. Why did they change that.
>I can't stop weeping
First page and the show is already summed up.
talk about art direction
Wow Steven doesn't look like a toddler here! He's actually looks physically eight years old.
> Laying eggs
>reverse electric guitar
Eh?
talk about how they love to constantly build things up and drip-feed the payoff
I generally avoid the generals, but I thought it was Lapis who had the stupid egg meme.
>"the series doesn't start until season 2"
I wonder if they can somehow undo the damage Zuke has caused.
Proto-Onion is terrifying
>Rebecca animates some scenes herself
>Steven and Connie actually huggin other and holding hands
>Steven blushing at Connie's new outfit
At some point that turned into them being BFFs instead and Steven being a little homo, who the fuck was responsible for that?
The whole entire show is full of these things were characters just lost their actual identity and something else took it's place.
