Steven Universe: Art & Origins

Product Information

I defiantly recommend it to anyone who loves Steven universe, the artwork and the process is just gorgeous to look at and read about! Ian Jones-Quartey emphasizes that the movie and Future are separate and different from the original show, which ENDED. Steven Universe: End of an Era is far more than an art book–it’s also a collection of behind-the-scenes material, stories about the experience of working on the show, planning documents and associated background info, and both older versions of developed concepts AND concepts that never made it into the show. The book talks about the origin, development, character design, writing and storyboarding, sound, backgrounds, animation and post production, and what the future holds. The Rhodonite side story would have been about the love story of a Ruby and a Pearl working for Morganite.

A lot went into this idea, and Steven Sugar weighs in to say he had to think of what it would mean for a world to have buildings but serve no human needs.

The Crystal Gems are Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl and Steven, a young half-human, half-Gem boy who inherited his gemstone from his mother, the Crystal Gems' past leader Rose Quartz.

The book is titled “End of an Era” for a couple reasons–obviously because it is released after the show has wrapped, but also because Gem history recently ended its “Era 2” and began Era 3–an age of prosperity and peace. The rest of the book is a bunch of adorable Crewniverse art–extras, blog drawings, promos, and gifts to each other.

Pearl, meanwhile, is so confused to have a Diamond who keeps asking her what she thinks when she doesn’t believe she should have opinions.

And White Diamond knew that Pink Diamond was not dead–she thought she was just running away from home like a brat and would eventually be back. They were excited to have Steven make HIS OWN mistakes instead of trying to clean up someone else’s!Like the previous concept art book, Art and Origins, I’ll be giving you a description of the structure and overview, while also collecting notable information for fans. K. Jemisin, a well-known science fiction author who’s a huge fan of the show (and wrote a really excellent series that also has a weird geological connection, by the way). There's so much more to Steven and his universe than that, but that alone is more than many people know. Its organization is different from the previous book in that it shares applicable work in chunks associated with groups of episodes rather than pertaining to different aspects of building the show.
