Steven gets a hold of a magical time travel device and does what any kid would do - he uses it to make jokes. But toying with magic draws trouble to his sleepy beach town and Steven has to step up and save the day - with more jokes.

Go watch Steven Universe, guys! It’s great!

THIS WAS AWESOME. OMGOODNESS. ALL THE GEM GIRLS. SO AWESOME.

P.S. We are expanding and refining everything from this short for the ongoing series. get hype!!!

I am doing backgrounds for this! None from this first episode, though! I’m mostly drawing *~magical temples~* !! It’s been really cool helping develop and define the look of the world.

How well were your art/animation skills when you were about 14 years-old?

Mon, 06 May 2013 18:23:13 -0700

Hmmm… I was probably drawing lots of Star Wars ships and copying the art in the Golden Sun game manual around then. I’m sure those drawings were pretty bad, but when you’re 14 it’s way more about having fun than being super good, isn’t it?

journal comic from yesterday

It’s important to consider the inevitable controversy regarding a presidential candidate whose body (51% or more including one cerebral hemisphere) are non-US built robotic prosthetics.

Then Danny Hynes taught me the ways in which it would be unethical to have a robot army fight a clone army. You’re right Danny, clones are people too.

bravestwarriors: Meet Steven Sugar! Er, well his backgrounds...

Meet Steven Sugar!

Er, well his backgrounds anyway. We’re thrilled with the amazing backgrounds that Steven has been crafting for Bravest Warriors. Take a moment to gaze at these beauties and admire these works of art!

Alright, alright that’s enough gazing. Let’s learns a little more about Steven:

I just graduated last Spring from the Illustration department at the Rhode Island School of Design and moved over to LA for work. Bravest Warriors is the first cartoon I’ve worked on and the first time I’ve done background design for animation!

Before all this I’ve done art for a couple video games at the Singapore-MIT GAMBIT Game Lab and a handful of self-published comics.

As far as my approach to Bravest Warriors, there’s been a lot of emphasis on worldbuilding. Like defining the style of holograms and the aesthetic of the Bravest Warrior’s tech. I grew up drawing Star Wars ships, so creating ship designs for Bravest feels like I’ve come full circle.

Star Wars has been a big influence for me with all these backgrounds, there’s even a few Ralph McQuarrie pieces among our reference material. Naturally Adventure Time has had some impact on the look of the show, but we’ve also been looking at Blade Runner, Akira and some of Syd Mead’s concept work!

Working with (showrunner) Breehn Burns has been great, especially since I was so green when I began. Breehn, Christy Beckert and the rest of the crew have all been an incredible help in learning how to design the locations for the show!

Aww we popped Steven’s animated cherry! Don’t worry, we were gentle. Be sure to follow Steven on Tumblr to see more of his great work.
