Still not recovered from Comic Con. Here is my update to my Steven Universe shenanigans I got into on Sunday. Sunday morning my Jasper and I went to the panel for the new Steven Universe Art & Origins book. I managed to get seat in the front row just feet from Rebecca Sugar and Ian Jones-Quartey. Being a giant yellow banana in the front row I couldn't be missed and Rebecca gave me a little smile and wave. Ian kept trying to check out my cosplay but tried to quickly look away if we made eye contact. Some fun tid bits from the panel were: When Rebecca got word that Genndy Tartakovsky agreed to director the SU pilot she was so excited that she crashed her car into a pole. Rebecca worked so many long hours drawing and coloring concept sketches with Copic markers that she actually got sick/drunk from the fumes. Some asked her about inclusivity in cartoons and Rebecca's heartfelt response about Pride got her a little choked up. Directly after the panel we went (very early) to the park where the filming of the Stronger Than You music video was being shot. There was a small group there from the beginning. Lots of other cosplayers which was so fun to see. I talked a little bit to a Cartoon Network photographer at the book panel and she recognized me again at the sing along and asked me to film a short testimonial about my love for the show. We'll see if that makes it anywhere official for Cartoon Network! After a long wait and lots of cookie cat chants later Estelle finally arrived. I wanted so badly for her to come out in Garnet Cosplay but she looked like a goddess all the same. We shot the music video about 5 times so they could get lots of angles for later edits. There was one whole take where I just stood there doing the Yellow Diamond face. I really hope I got at least one face in the final video! It was such a great time, Estelle was so kind and meeting fellow cosplayers was amazing. The love for this show has no bounds. Also- please tag me in your photos so I can see them :D Also also- I posted the entire Crewniverse 2017 on my reddit if you want to see the whole thing it's on my QueenVaziz reddit account. The SU fandom is amazing.
