Here are some color concepts I got to do for tonight’s episode of Steven Universe!

Color blocks have come a long way and would be super handy when figuring out colors for new characters on the show. This episode is very dear to my heart, as it’s one of the last episodes I got to work on full time when I was on SU. Crewniverse forever!

Only once you’ve seen Jail Break.

Wow.

This has been.. uh… quite the week for my two current favorite shows.

That SONG.

“Yikes”

EDIT:

*”Yikes” being a nudge for the end of Jail Break“*

Yes, I did in fact like the song.

A lot.  I’ve listened to it like 15 times now.

:V

(I got a real Parappa the Rapper type of vibe from it.)

♫ This is who we are
This is who I am
and if you think you can stop me
then you need to think again ♫

This definitely qualifies as a career highlight for me! The song was composed by Rebecca Sugar, and an initial demo arrangement was made by Jeff Liu, which Estelle sang over. Estelle is one of my favorite modern R&B singers, so this was a daunting and yet enticing proposition to arrange.

Taking Jeff’s arrangement as a guideline, we really wanted to emphasize the euphoria of Garnet being reformed. Rebecca told us to capture the feeling of “there’s no way she could lose”. I also felt that the new Garnet design warranted a new Garnet bass sound (for those of you keeping score: where Pearl is piano, Garnet is represented by synthbass), so this was a great opportunity to showcase it. I also felt like the bridge needed a synth solo, so I went all out on this one!

Aivi did a fantastic job adding to this arrangement by making the string sections magical (especially at the end when the song turns dramatic) which were then beautifully performed by Jeff Ball. Everybody did such a great job with this song, and I’m extremely proud of the final result.

Thank you all for watching the season finale! Tune in tomorrow for Full Disclosure!

I’m overwhelmed, there’s too much to say about this song! Estelle gave me advice when it was still just a concept… after my first draft, Jeff made sense out of it… then Estelle sang it and took it to another level… then Aivi and Surasshu knocked it out of the park… I am so moved and so honored to be working with everyone who made this possible, thank you all so much <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
