Steven Universe: Art & Origins

Absolutely Brilliant!! It really gives you an insight into how the show is made, as well as the origins of it (unsurprisingly, given the title) Loads of awesome concept drawings for characters (some of which we've never seen in the show), unused episode ideas, amazing background art, notes Rebecca wrote about the plot and characters early on... It's a very appealing book, the cover is beautiful, and it's great that it's hardback, it's a nice size; although you might need a magnifying glass to read some of the scrawled notes!

I bought this for my son he’s only 11 but an avid Steven universe fan, although he doesn’t really read it much he spends ages looking through all the pictures of how it was made/ started etc. Full of information about the show! Great for any Steven universe fan!

The most beautiful collection of all that is Steven Universe's past, present, and possible future. With an insight into the inner workings of the show, it's characters, world, music and more, there is no way a fan of the show should pass up this product. It is by far the most amazing way to dig yourself deeper into the SU fandom. I highly highly recommend this!!

My daughter loves this show and is an avid artist so this seemed perfect. She was very impressed and spent ages flicking through it. It's very thorough with lots of illustrations and character designs.

I gave given it 5 stars because it looks lovely and is full of info. It's a present for my Grandson for Christmas who is a massive Stephen fan and a great artist. So he is going to love it.

It is a great book just wish there was more intricate picture of the scenery and Steven

I have maintained for a little while that Steven Universe has the most gorgeous art style that I've seen for an animated series in recent memory, not least because I am a massive fan of polygonal art but also because, as a VFX student, I have a mountain of respect for the people who put this together. I love this series and it has rather drawn me into the world of attempting animation of my own. This book, I can tell you, will certainly help with that, and I've barely started reading it yet!

Terrific behind-the-scenes look at the development of the show and Rebecca Sugar's creative process. Very inspiring. Also fun for any die-hard fan to see the actors, artists and other developers involved in the show. Beautiful glimpses of art and sketches of various characters. Only complaint: wish there was more, more, more! Daughter was very happy with the book.

ラフ画から色の付いた絵までたくさん載ってて見てて楽しい！ レベッカシュガーの学生制作から載ってる 2017年のやつだから最新シーズンまでは載ってないけど、それでもボリュームがほんとすごいとおもった これで2000円台はヤバいでしょ･･･買ってよかった！

Produit conforme au visuel, de très bonne qualité. Le contenu est dense et les illustrations sont magnifiques !

Wer als Fan der Serie schon immer ein bisschen neugierig auf den kreativen Entstehungsprozess der Serie - von der Idee, über den Pilot, bis hin zum Endprodukt - gewesen ist, wird hier sicher einen bereichernden Einblick vorfinden! Das Buch ist in - ausgenommen Vorwort und Einführung- in 8 Kapiteln gegliedert: Origins, Green Light&Development, Character Design, Writing&Storyboarding, Sound&Vision, Background Design & Painting, Animation&Post, Onward. Jedes Kapitel besitzt eine ausgewogene Mischung aus Text&Bild und bei Abschnitte mit langen Texten bzw. Interviews werden stets Abbildungen (Skizzen, Fotos, Screenshots aus der Serie) eingefügt, sodass das Auge auf jeder Seite was interessantes zu sehen hat. Als Fan von Rebecca Sugars Skizzen wird man hier sehr viele schöne Zeichnungen vorfinden. Die Texte sind größtenteils im Interview-Format gehalten, mit einigen ergänzenden oder erläuternden Texten. Das Hardcover hat einen schönen fluoreszierenden Effekt und die Papierqualität schein auch sehr gut zu sein. Die Deckelfalz zeigt nach wenigem Gebrauch schon Spuren, ich kann jedoch nichts sagen, ob dies normal ist oder nicht. Insgesamt macht das Buch jedoch einen stabilen Eindruck.

Tanto o produto quanto a entrega superaram e muito minhas expectativas. O livro é surpreendente e extraordinário em todos as artes e detalhes, já começando pela capa, que é metalizada (algo que eu definitivamente não esperava), todas as folhas tem cores ótimas e são de qualidade excelente. O projeto, os processos, a criação, tudo nesse livro encanta. E em relação à entrega: eu nunca recebi um produto tão rápido! Tudo é admirável nesse livro; não tenho nada a reclamar, mas tenho a opinião de uma coisa que seria boa e ajudaria, que seria que o estivesse disponível em mais línguas. Steven Universe não é só em países que falam a língua inglesa; é um desenho magnífico que encantou o mundo, e eu acredito que todos os fãs dele deveriam ter um acesso melhor à ele, sem ter que depender de saber determinada língua.

Opera che va a mostrare nel dettaglio ogni fase del processo creativo che ha portato la creatrice della serie ed i suoi collaboratori a generare ciò che Steven Universe è ora. Molto interessanti anche gli insight sul percorso personale, di formazione e background di Rebecca Sugar e dei membri principali del team, che mostrano come lo stile artistico e personalità di ciascuno di loro abbia avuto un ruolo importante nella creazione delle fondamenta della serie. Il libro copre lo sviluppo da prima della pre-produzione dell'episodio pilota, il pitch della serie in se e come e perché essa differisce in certi aspetti dal pilota, fino alla fine della 4° stagione. Dopo un'approfondita parte di introduzione e spiegazione delle varie fasi tecniche ed artistiche svolte prima della produzione dei primi episodi, l'attenzione viene spostata su personalità, motivazioni e sviluppo dei singoli personaggi e punti di svolta della serie, ripercorsi orientativamente nello stesso ordine degli episodi. Alla narrazione delle vicissitudini dei personaggi si trova parallela quella tecnica delle fasi di produzione necessarie per creare ogni singolo episodio. Per quanto riguarda la qualità costruttiva, il libro è molto solido con copertina iridescente e la stampa di ottima qualità su carta pesante. Arrivato intatto non sigillato da cellophane, ma imballato dentro il cartone.
