OOAK pen drawing.
A little about the piece:
I was a storyboard artist and writer on Steven Universe.
This is some concept sketching I did for the episode "So Many Birthdays".
1916 by Motorhead is a devastating song about young men dying in war.
The feeling that the soldiers are 'in too deep/over their heads/lost without any kind of guidance'...is profound. The soldiers call out not just for their commander, but for their mothers.
Paul and I wanted to push the emotional escalation *as far as humanly possible* in So Many Birthdays, to the point where some could ask "WOULD they really kill off the main character?"
I thought, during the finale, the gems should be 'clinging to one another like children" like the soldiers in the song. They ARE soldiers. They lost their commander & their mother--the same person. Now, watching Steven die is like watching Rose "Die". They want to call out for their mother to save them, but she can't.
