been awhile since i posted any sort of art thing tbh here's an animation test i did though! it's something like flow or wind? it's not much, but i do like how it turned out, even if it's a little amatur.
Practice walk cycle of Genji! I may polish it later
Tysm for the support on my last animation update!! It means so much to me :D
Swoosh Smoke by Eduard Mykhailov
Just a sort of storyboard thing I’m working on. Still needs some work but I’m happy with it so far! Would this be considered a storyboard? It’s not quite an animation yet.... I don’t know 😂
Adding some color to The Darkness.
Nathan hiding behind John because John is good at protecting things 🥰
Say what you will but having This Thing come at your face at 50mph is t e r r i f y i n g .

Steven Universe: ‘In Too Deep’ Frame-by-Frame Trailer Analysis
Steven Universe is back!
Not two days ago, I posted an article explaining why I feel that weekly episodes spaced evenly across the year are more satisfying than the erratic Steven Bomb release schedule. It seems that my wish may have been (partially) granted, as Cartoon Network have just announced a four-week Steven Universe event that will (presumably) cover what we assumed to be the fifth Steven Bomb.
Below the break, you will find the trailer for In Too Deep, followed by a frame-by-frame, in-depth analysis. I will not be talking about the clips leaked by Cartoon Network UK, so is article is safe for those avoiding spoilers.
There appear to be two main topics at hand: Malachite and the Cluster. Both have been highly anticipated, and it looks like progress is imminent for each plot thread.
Malachite and the Watermelon Stevens
Malachite is back, along with the sentient watermelons that Steven created back in Season 1. Judging by the flower wreath around this melon’s head, we can infer that the watermelon army have established some form of society for themselves, and may be living peacefully. Whatever they have built, it seems that Malachite is about to disrupt it.
She does not look happy.
Fortunately, the Crystal Gems are ready to take her down.
Alexandrite makes her long-awaited return!
Of course, Malachite is not going down without a fight.
Looking at the surroundings, the battle may be taking place on Mask Island, the location introduced in Island Adventure.
As to whether we will see Lapis and Jasper unfuse, only time will tell.
The Cluster
The trailer opens with Steven and Peridot alone, and the Earth shaking beneath them. The Cluster is emerging, perhaps at the most inopportune time. With Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl fighting Malachite, our smallest heroes may be left to operate the drill alone.
“Something doesn’t feel right about this.”
Something definitely doesn’t feel right. Also, it looks like the Gems are getting fantastic milage out of Peridot’s escape pod.
DUN DUN DUN!!!
Details are vague, but it seems that the Cluster may not be exactly what Peridot has been led to believe. Steven says that something “doesn't feel right”, so whatever ends up happening is may not be what they planned for.
At the very least, it appears that the Cluster is beginning to take physical form. Either that, or there are other, smaller fusion experiments set to guard the Cluster lest the rebels discover it and attempt to sabotage Homeworld’s plans.
As for the ghostly white hands and the orange/yellow glowing outside the pod, your guess is as good as mine.
“What We Really Are”
Those of you who have seen the extended theme song may recognise this line sung by Pearl:
“If you could only know | what we really are.”
The words, “what we really are”, can be heard repeating throughout part of the trailer, and the song has been edited to sound eerie and distorted. This played over shots of the Crystal Gems as they look in anger at the hologram of Earth’s destruction in the Moon Base, followed by a clip of Yellow Diamond saying:
“I want that planet to die.”
This old footage tells us nothing new, but perhaps we will learn something new when the upcoming episodes arrive. We still know very little as to what Gems really are, and while I have a theory (as do many within the fandom) that they are advanced AI computers, there may be more to the story; perhaps this theory misses the mark entirely.
I have a feeling that we are in for revelations about the nature of Gems and their history. Perhaps we will learn about Gem biology (i.e. what they “really are”), or delve deeper into Yellow Diamond’s true motives for creating the Cluster and attempting to destroy Earth. If Lapis is freed from Malachite, perhaps we will hear her backstory (which the Crewniverse have clearly been saving for maximum impact).
Steven’s Dream Powers
Perhaps we will gain some new insight into Steven’s abilities regarding dreams. I was intrigued by this shot towards the end of the trailer:
“Gasp!”
Steven appears to be waking from some kind of magical trance; or, perhaps, a dream. We can infer from Chille Tid that Steven has the power to communicate with other Gems through dreams, and Rose’s Room appears to operate on dream logic.
Will Steven use this ability to locate Malachite? Or, perhaps, find a way to communicate with the damaged Gems that comprise the Cluster? We know that fusions have an abstract realm of existence where Steven can talk to the component Gems in his sleep.
This may also apply to the Cluster. Steven may be able to placate the Cluster by talking to its component Gems and convincing them not to take physical form.
All things considered, I am incredibly excited about this news. From what I have heard, we will receive two new episodes on the 12th of May, and one additional episode for each of the following weeks. This is a very smart move on the part of Cartoon Network, and I have a feeling that it will pay off spectacularly.
I plan to post more Steven Universe analysis, theories, and reviews over the coming months, so if that sounds like your cup of tea, you are welcome to follow me here on Tumblr to stay up to date. :)
