I presume Sugar really enjoyed the freedom she had on AT and therefore wants to give other boarders a taste of that freedom on SU, despite most not having nearly her skill.

>>89259197
This is correct. SU doesn't really have a hard model sheet to work on. I know it messes up some people but I don't really mind. I think it gives freedom to visually show how a scene should "feel".

>>89259160
Sugar probably thinks it's charming. She probably thinks back to some of her favorite 90's animes where you can tell who drew/animated what shot and liked that things were inconsistent.

I don't know why people think making mistakes on purpose is "charming". It's only charming when the people making it were clearly working on a budget/tight deadline, not that they knew better and they chose to do poorly anyway.

That's why you have people working in the production who should spot and correct that kind of shit.

>>89259378
You don't know their lives. Maybe every human is a bit of a shapeshifter in the SU setting.

Reminder that cartoons have multiple animation teams. See: Danny Phantom

>>89259530
SU only has one team, though.

Remember when a Pearl was a fourth of the height of a Diamond but then Yellow could hold two of them in one hand.

>>89259477

This really depends on how much resources CN wants to use in order for the creators to spot these sort of errors. It's always a question of "is it cost effective?" Sure, if the errors are large enough a few frames should be changed. I don't think having a dedicated team to spot animation errors is efficient. It would be too time-consuming to go back and fix an already made episode.

Besides, these are errors that the SU animators would teach themselves to avoid because it was made.

I'm not sure which episodes those are from, but it's possible that Steven grew larger at a faster rate than PD.

>>89259160
Its really not that big a deal. No one is making you watch anything man

>>89259938
No, I think the right image where he's larger is from an earlier ep. If anything he's been shrinking.

>>89259855

>>89259889

>implying the art was the problem with the new PPG

Come on man, we know that's not the case.

>>89259160

Also, it's usually because Steven is a short, stocky bugger, so if you're trying to get a close up shot on his face, while he's next to someone taller, the dimensions of both characters are tweaked slightly to get both their faces at max size.

Case in point

The art style IS a problem in nuPPG.
Even if it were done traditionally, the new series has an awful and lazy art direction when compared to the original.

It's not the only problem but it IS a problem.

What episode is the one on the left from? Pretty sure the one on the right is from Frybo.

If the one on the left is from a later episode, I would assume Peedee just got taller while Steven canonically has been the same height since he was 8.

Restaurant Wars had a lot of funky looking things going on. No surprise that it's a Lamar/Katie episode. When will people accept that Steven Universe has no real set heights. All they have to remember is whether a character is taller or shorter than the other, but no exact measurements.

The outfit was cute, but her face looks really awkward with those huge eyes, one even bulging out of her face.

If the whole show could just be Pearl in formal attire from this point on I think I'd still be happy with it.

that's just funny though.
and even if he is serious he's nowhere near as weird as the guy who drew pictures of him going on a date with Pearl

Based Lamar is funny as hell though, he definitely has some jank proportions but he does great townie episodes and he's literally the only boarder besides Sugar who can draw Garnet

>updated Garnet has a much smaller afro than her old design
>some boarders still draw her with her old big afro

REEEEEEEEEEEE

In the episode where they drive to the garage concert, there is a very noticeable error around the beginning of the episode.
When Pearl is talking about possibly going with them to the concert, her mouth detaches from the rest of her face and overlaps her head outline, hanging off her face slightly.

There is no consistency or quality assurance.
When you have no expectations for the show it is easy to be satisfied, but some things are hard to overlook.

It worked in Adventure Time because the setting and style were already so weird that it didn't stand out when Finn was slightly taller than he was supposed to be. It doesn't work nearly as well in Steven Universe's more down to earth style.

The power-stuff is kind of in the air. We don't even really know a Diamond's powerset or possible weapon.

Shapeshifting seems like something that would be beneath a Diamond anyway. Almost insulting.

It's also still weird how Peridot didn't believe Peridots didn't have any powers, but then she found out she had metal-kinesis. I hope we learn more about that, you think a Peridot on homeworld would of discovered it on accident or something.

>>89264471
Only in space. And only when they fuck with the an equivalent of a sci-fi spaceship gravity control.

>>89264491
I don't think Sugar is that confident in her ability to manage a show so she is playing it fast and loose.

>>89264845
Because it's not gravity.
Their light bodies are being messed up by the reality-bending space travel speeds, unable to keep up with the gems, that's why they have systems in place, something of an equivalent to what sci-fi spaceships have for control gravity inside, but not exactly, because it's specifically made to correct the forms of gems..

>>89259160
The problem is that there are no model sheets to understand how the characters work from different angles and how tall they are, that, coupled with a lack of quality control, leads to this hot mess.

Even with the reference sheets they have now they still go off-model constantly, like in that episode where Lapis and Peridot's hair is huge and one of the most recent episodes where Greg finds a lady drawing him (seriously, his reference is ON-SCREEN and he's still off-model)

Maybe they're trying to go for that feel old animes have where you can tell who drew what, but here it's just lazy because they don't have the budget or time constraints the animes had. It's not charming when every single episode is off-model.
