WOW! THE OG POST!
i will let my mind go wild with these knowing iāll finally be able to credit the original artist
EEEE FINALLY THE ORIGINAL ARTIST
SU Mini Theory: The Rejuvinator DID work!!!
This is probably very obvious but what the hell.
In the movie, Steven gets slashed with the Rejuvinatorāmultiple times.
At first no one suspects anything happened to him, as he seems to be fine. But then his powers start to malfunction, and he finds he has to relearn how to use them. That goes away pretty quickly,Ā
but uhh....then this sudden change in character happens in Future.Ā
Steven, our little Steven, starts having anger issues, seemingly from out of nowhere. Look i know we can sit here and argue that its a natural progression but, I donāt buy it. Weāve seen little Steven be put through the ringer an get frustrated before, he never behaved like this,Ā
This is too much, all at once, with no explanation. Then weāre given this bombshell by Pink Pearl:
That punch she throws at the wall in Yellowās observatory wasnāt a one-off thing; Pink Diamond threw tantrums, tantrums she couldnāt control, and had a scream that could crack walls, and once she hurt Pink Pearl, and she was given White Pearl, she changed all at once and to the other extreme, as if traumatized that she had the power to damage someone that much, someone she cared deeply for. And now, after being hit with the rejuvinator in the movieā¦Ā
..heās cracking walls like his mom? And Iām supposed to write it off as some natural progression? Nah. Weāve seen this destructive power before.
I think the foreshadowing is pretty clear,
THIS THING DID WORK; ON PINK STEVEN!!
and what this implies is fucking terrifying; Remember this?
Yeah, this is Pink Diamond after having gone through 8,000 years of character development. Here, she isnāt the screaming, wall cracking tantrum throwing bitch, sheās become a good person, with the bagage one would expect one to have when one starts off as toxic and becomes good, so when Steven was born, his Pink half had all its character developmentābut sinceĀ Spinel hit Steven with the rejuvinator multiple times, I think his Pink side has regressed to Pink Diamondās state, from 8,000 years ago.Ā
Which means,Ā his Pink side doesnāt love being him right now. Ā
How can it? Every other gem hit with the rejuvinator had to be reminded of the experiences that made them who they are after all, how can Pink Steven love being himself when it doesnāt remember how it got there?
ā¦and with this showās track record with forshadowing, since Pink Diamond had to hurt someone she loved before learning to control her temperā¦
Iād love to see your color shining through

Trying to draw buildings
yo hereās a useful tip from your fellow art ho cynellis⦠use google sketchup to create a model of the room/building/town youāre trying to draw⦠then take a screenshot & use it as a reference! Itās simple & fun!
Sketchup is incredibly helpful. I canāt recommend it enough.
Thereās a 3D model warehouse where you can download all kinds of stuff so you donāt have to build everything from scratch.

This is an incomplete tutorial, and it drives me crazy every time I see it come around.
We live in a pretty great digital age and we have access to a ton of amazing tools that artists in past generations couldnāt even dream of, but a lot of people look at a cool trick and only learn half of the process of using it.
Hereās the missing part of this tutorial:
How do you populate your backgrounds?
Well, hereās the answer:
If the focus is the environment, you must show a person in relation to that environment.
The examples above are great because they show how to use the software itself, but each one just kind of āplopsā the character in front of their finished product with no regard of the personās relation to their environment.
How do you fix this?
Well, hereās the simplest solution:
This is a popular trick used by professional storyboard and comic artists alike when theyāre quickly planning compositions. Itās simple and it requires you to do some planning before you sit down to crank out that polished, final version of your work, but it will be the difference between a background and an environment.
From Blacksad (artist: Juanjo Guarnido)
From Hellboy (Mike Mignola)
Even if your draftsmanship isnāt that great (like mine), people can be more immersed in the story you tell if you just make it feel like there is a world that exists completely separate from the one in which they currently reside ā not just making a backdrop the characters stand in front of.
Your creations live in a unique world, and it is as much a character as any other member of the cast. Make it as believable as they are.
Great comments and tutorials!
Iām a 3d artist and have been exploring the possibilities of using 3d as reference for 2d poses. I want to add a couple of tips and things!
Sketchup is very useful for environment references, and I assume itās reasonably easy to learn. If youāre interested in going above and beyond, I highly recommend learning a proper 3d modeling program to help with art, especially because you can very easily populate a scene or location with characters!
Using 3ds Max I can pretty quickly construct an environment for reference. But going beyond that, I can also pose a pretty simple āCATāĀ armature (known in 3d as a rig) straight into the scene, which can be totally customized, from various limbs, tails, wings, whatever, to proportions, and also can be modeled onto and expanded upon (for an example, you could 3d sculpt a head reference for your character and then attach it to the CAT rig, so you have a reference for complex face angles!)
The armature can also be posed incredibly easily. I know programs exist for stuff like this - Manga Studio, Design Doll - but posing characters in these programs is always an exercise in frustration and very fiddly imo. A simple 3d rig is impossibly easy to pose.
By creating an environment and dropping my character rig into it, I have an excellent point of reference when it comes to drawing the scene!
Not only that, but I can also view the scene from whatever angle I could ever want or need, including the character and their pose/position relative to the environment.
We can even quickly and easily expand this scene to include more characters!
Proper 3d modeling software is immensely powerful, and if you wanted to, you could model a complex environment that occurs regularly in your comic or illustration work (say, a castle interior, or an outdoor forest environment) and populate the scene with as many perspective-grounded characters as you need!
