Amazing!!!

"This book was so good! If you love Steven universe then you’re gonna love this!"

— Alyssa (5/5)

Love It!

"Great quality. I've been wanting this book for a long time and when I got it I was not disappointed. Visuals are stunning and you get to really see the process in which the animation was made."

— Hannah (5/5)

So worth it!

"I'm a huge SU fan and was really looking forward to buying this. When I got the book, I was pleasantly surprised by how much content was inside. I didn't expect there to be so much information alongside the artwork, but I'm glad there was. This book gives you all kinds of insight into how the creators came up with their ideas, and how Steven Universe came to be the great show we love today. This book contains numerous illustrations done by different members of the crewniverse, and you can really see how much the artists love their craft. Overall beautifully-made, and a great buy for any SU fan."

— Charlie (5/5)

I love this

"Its so cool, you get to see the animation process, the pilot characters, the beautiful scenery, and etc. i like how its a hard cover book and that the book has thick pages so it wont rip easily. What i don't like is that you don't get to see the off colours and the diamond authority or the diamonds at all but overall its a great book"

— Carter (5/5)

Simply Gorgeous

"The art is amazing, and if you are a fan of Steven Universe you will want this book. The behind the scenes stories from Sugar and her cologues are informative and fun!"

— Lisa (5/5)

A Must for Steven Universe Fans!

"The Crewniverse's love for their craft really shines in this art book - so many new things learned about concepts, behind the scenes, inspirations, etc. Gives you a greater appreciation of the franchise."

— Cupcakes16 (5/5)

One of the most insightful Art books out there

"Bought this after years of hoping for a Steven Universe art book to be announced given how absolutely beautiful and unique the visual identity of the show is (Never have I been more interested in background art until Steven Universe) but this book gives you more than just a collection of concept art and lush full spreads of final environments, it takes you into the thought process of why a particular character is designed the way they are, from their shape language to the iconography of their silhouettes, to how the abstraction of light and shadow is a product of the feeling the story wanted to portray, how the disjointed nature of line art to color makes otherwise stationary and angular buildings breathe and become dynamic. It's an incredible ride within the brilliant minds that make the show the wonderful piece of sublime art that it is. Definitely recommend."

— Camille (5/5)

An art book lover's dream

"This book has everything a visual development artist would love to see. Plus alot of noets on the creation of the show."

— Uminaga (5/5)
