Steven Universe

One of my favorite animated shows is Steven Universe because there is so much diversity in the characters and animated freedom. It was made by Rebecca Sugar and first came out on November 4th, 2013. It was produced by Cartoon Network who is also one of the goated studios in my eyes when it comes to animation. The graphics for this show were always so abstract and different. It was such unique Animation. As you can see in the picture, there are all different kinds of shapes and figures to represent the gems and people. The coloring of the animation for every character always had different splash of something to it. There was always diversity in the way they looked, acted, spoke, and lived. For Example, Garnet was a character that was a fusion of Ruby and Sapphire gems, and the way it was animated. I can’t put another picture here so I will put the link here instead https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/e5ca3930-8cae-41a7-ace8-db0f0161b62f/d979cg4-56e98c50-accc-472c-ae73-edc671bd1b51.png/v1/fill/w_777,h_1029,q_75,strp/steven_universe___garnet_05_by_theeyzmaster-d979cg4.png?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpc3MiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwic3ViIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsImF1ZCI6WyJ1cm46c2VydmljZTppbWFnZS5vcGVyYXRpb25zIl0sIm9iaiI6W1t7InBhdGgiOiIvZi9lNWNhMzkzMC04Y2FlLTQxYTctYWNlOC1kYjBmMDE2MWI2MmYvZDk3OWNnNC01NmU5OGM1MC1hY2NjLTQ3MmMtYWU3My1lZGM2NzFiZDFiNTEucG5nIiwid2lkdGgiOiI8PTc3NyIsImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9MTAyOSJ9XV19.8eAvlCfJ3yeLZxlGw3hHCRmc0-xIktd1RacILcFYrK0 This link is long, but I liked the animation here because Garnet’s character was such a good mix of color and freedom of design. Steven Universe is Truly one of my favorite animated shows because it just showcases so much animation and CGI freedom! If you were to come up with a gem to create, it could most likely be in the show because that’s how much freedom there was.
