I’d always wanted to draw an animated background shot and intense/shonen Stevens so I was stoked to do both of those during this episode… More stuff behind the cut!

I feel like most of my drawings for this episode look MUCH better in motion but here’s some of the more decent ones!

for some reason i took a bunch of screencaps of my first pass stevens while making this episode…. I think that this was the first episode i really got to focus on drawing him (I boarded pretty much all of the dungeon stuff) and i was discovering that this was my short-hand for him. i call them ‘stebens’…

^ everyone collaborated on the designs of the test rooms, I remember Rebecca suggesting the boulder coming out of a stone Amythest’s mouth and vines/ropes like her whip being strung around. Hilary came up with the awesome idea to make it one simple ramp. We tried to make all the rooms as simple and eerie as possible. It was a lot of fun collaborating on those!!! (Also, the final backgrounds were done by the incredible Sam Bosma!)

poppa needs a new skillettttttttt

Just remembered that when I pitched this scene I called it the “cool guy walk”—v

Thanks for watching!!!
