OK this is honestly fucking awesome - seeing a show legit showcase a selfshipper artist and have her guy also love her back. Little things like this are so damn cute

This is the dream for every yume shipper.

Daily bunny no.3319 got one scoop each

Keeping in mind that the show was cancelled while seasons 3 and 4 were still airing on the channel. Both the movie and Future were probably conceived around 2017, when the final episodes of SU were already in the animation phase (CYM had been finished in 2018, but only released in 2019 btw).

I don't know if there was a certain contractual mandate on CN about that, but it always bugs me that we had to wait until Future to get a full and detailed confirmation about the premature cancellation of the original Steven Universe, despite the episode giving some obvious indications of that.

I also find it curious how everyone is so obsessed to complain that the show very often don't focus squarely on the plot and supposedly had "too much filler", when Steven Universe, from its very beginning, was treated as a character-driven series. Like, Sugar was quite vocal about that point.

Left the Art Fight server, will not be participating again. The handling of the entire "tracing" rule has been shit and the fact that the mods CONTINUE to refer to it like it's cheating/unfair advantage is more than enough for me to want nothing to do with it.

Now, if new artists see 3D as 'cheating,' it only harms their growth. For events like Art Fight, where fun and learning should come first, rigid rules risk discouraging the very people they should inspire. 3D is a tool, not a crime; and for some (like those with aphantasia), it’s a lifeline.

My two cents as an Old Timer: The 3D model debate gives me early 2000s DeviantArt flashbacks. Back then, even credited references were shunned - imagine that today. Bases were taboo, 3D was niche, and beginners struggled to find pose refs. (1/2) ⬇️

also just like... real fuckin telling that some of yall keep calling it a crutch and acting like thats a lazy and bad thing for people to do- to have some kind of aid. surely that doesn't reflect any other views you might have. especially about disabled people.

and I've been drawing for OVER a decade now. I still have a lot to learn and trace refs from time to time. it's helpful for learning the flow of how things look, to actually draw along the lines of what you're referencing. I would encourage people to expand out, but people are just being shamed atp

i also just think the "tracing is cheating" argument is stupid. some of my most helpful studies have been from me tracing on my own time. I don't think it's "just a crutch", I dont think its unfair, I think it SHOULD be credited, but it's not cheating. It's training wheels more than anything to me.

anyways Im gonna post some screenshots of ramblings Ive done in servers instead of retyping all my thoughts lol. i swear I had more than this so I think this will just be my art fight bitching thread if I think of more things.

also re the whole "these rules aren't new"- okay but if you have reworded them and they are blindsiding SO MANY PEOPLE, then that means they were NOT clear enough before. and that is YOUR problem for not making them clear, NOT the users' fault. the wording is new, therefore the context HAS changed.

they want all of this to be fair, but how are you going to moderate this without getting someone in the cross fire? how many people's art that "dont look good enough/high effort" are gonna be reported and then deleted for SUPPOSED tracing/using bases. open to artists of all skill levels, my ass.

-you also can't use your own photos or bases. but also crediting photos isn't necessary, as listed IN the rules. all of this counts as art theft, but also you can still use this stuff in character images. so like? which one is it huh? it's really clear they're just picking and choosing what counts.

this is a thread I'd recommend reading, it touches on something that IRKS me so much about these rules. art fight rules and guidelines have always been a bit too vague here and there, but it straight up SUCKS with all of this. You can't trace or do colleges because the images aren't yours but-

What I think is worse is the fact that photos are allowed as backgrounds for attacks and there is an entire rule of photo realistic eyes and things added to art from photos for trigger tag guides. Does anyone on the staff work as an industry artist? Like??? I'm so baffled by this, still.

But seriously. 2 weeks and no ETA but the event starts soon. Are you kidding me? Yeah it's definitely looking like I'm sitting out this year at this rate. What a mess.

Taking your own photos and using 3D assets are fully accessible tools anyone can use. There's no unfair advantage to this. This would like saying you can't use a live model in figure drawing because it's an unfair advantage to everyone else learning figure drawing. It has to come from your mind.

Artfight's tumblr yesterday 2 weeks or so to decide is cutting it super close and I hate the "unfair advantage" stance. Apparently if you do physical craft it's fine to use a pattern you didn't make. We are just drawing the line at "TrAcInG" still. Actually angry here. "Unfair advantage"

Meet Flobaby! 🌱 She stole my heart the moment I saw her, and her family is incredibly kind. I'm so happy I got to embroider her for them.

not to be controversial but every year there’s some shit about art fight as if it hasn’t been established that the mods are hall monitor level dweebs & puritans. there’s no actual, feasible way for them to “check” if you use references. just make art the way you normally do & have fun!

still haven’t forgotten how many Big Important Allies and Lawyers went out of their way to let us know they thought she was the one in the wrong and deserved the demonization for giving that essay a zero, nor the entitled fits they threw when receiving pushback for it.

art trend thats on twitter right now!! Artists use references all the time and its totally fine to use them to learn! Art fight got some WEIRD rules bro

Art Fight mods really said using references is cheating 🙄

I've had a problem with the way art fight has handled their systems for years, which is why I stopped participating. When it stopped being a 'fun for everyone' event and instead became a hardcore competition that the mods could enforce their puritanical personal opinions and beliefs onto others.

werent the art fight mods always low key kinda cops idk. i never participated bc the vibe i got was always just kinda ass lmao

the concept of art fight is so awesome but then the community always finds a way to ruin it lmao (and the mods too, i guess)

me: maybe this year i'll join art fight every single year: some stupid shit happens me: on second thought, nah

Nahh cuidao que ahora usar modelos 3D o incluso fotos tuyas de referencia es hacer trampa dicho por los mismos moderadores del Art Fight. De verdad, algo que debería ser divertido y chill, cada año es más pitero por culpa de los mods y sus normas estúpidas. Yo ya no voy a participar más.

Yeah nah not participating in art fight this year with their ableist rules I’ll just draw for my friends and have fun

i won't be participating in Art Fight 2026 out of solidarity for artists who use photo references and 3D models as part of their art process. although this isn't part of my own process, I believe artists have the right to use industry-standard methods without being labeled as "cheating".

oh, artfight *is* for babies then

He’s just poasting. He has a parasocial relationship with his own delusion of himself.

I’m trying to humanize this guy as much as I can. But he behaves like a lizard-brained failed-state warlord and this is the only thing I can think of. “Maybe if I’m a prick to everyone they’ll be forced to like me,” might be the only human thing left within him besides the basic primal needs.

Trump thinks this sort of thing makes him look like a Great Man of History. A conqueror. An Alexander the Great. A Napoleon. In reality he’s a sad scared little boy who can’t control his impulses and will never experience any positive emotion save for a brief cessation of a constant internal rage.

María Corina Machado bien, verdad?

for your consideration:

i have so, so many furious things to say about this but just to scream about one: when corporations declare themselves able to decide what art is or not made specifically for getting off, they are absolutely going to use that power to target even the tamest of queer art first.

Glad this is being talked about. Too many great animated shows get tiny orders from execs scared of budgeting anything. There’s a reason the first seasons of Batman or DuckTales were 65 episodes: The people in charge of the money decided to commit to a volume of shows that would build an audience!

Ted Turner should have kicked more CEOs in the balls. Then maybe we wouldn't have lost WCW and our children could breathe.

After doing art fight for 9 years this may be my last time. Taking photos for references and posing- drawing over and modifying them - this is ESSENTIAL to my workflow. This isn't tracing, it's a professional workflow. You reference, copy, and modify.
