10 Pieces of Steven Universe Fan Art That Pay Perfect Tribute To The Crewniverse

In 2013, Steven Universe premiered on Cartoon Network and the world was introduced to Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl, and Steven. What seemed like just another monster of the week kids show turned into a complex story of a child fighting a fierce alien regime and fixing his broken family.

Steven Universe did more than just create a fandom. It provided representation to countless fans and dealt with difficult, complicated themes and issues. It offered deep, relatable characters that made viewers feel like they weren’t alone and lessons that people of all ages need to learn. Earlier this year, the show reached its conclusion and the fans have gone out of their way to show their appreciation for the cast and staff, better known as the Crewniverse. Here are just 10 of the many tributes fans have made to the Crewniverse.

In this teary-eyed group photo, FafaMeow has Steven taking one last selfie with his family and friends. Since this was originally titled “A Last selfie – Steven Universe Future Finale,” it makes sense that there would be a lot of smiles and tears.

Every character here feels like they’re welling up with emotion and it’s clear which ones are better at holding it in. Of course, no one would blame them if this was their last selfie with Steven. Peridot wearing the shirt that Steven gave her is the cherry on top.

9 Cat-With-A-Crown

Here we have Cat-with-a-Crown having Steven and the gems sitting on the beach watching the sunset – a fitting metaphor for the show as a whole coming to a close like the end of a day. As tragic as it is seeing it go, this is inevitable but also beautiful to watch.

Just as the show brought fans along on the Crystal Gems’ adventures, this picture feels like we are sitting right behind the characters enjoying the peaceful, pink view with them. The stars appear in the sky along with the artist’s message, “Thank You Steven Universe.”

Another picture has Steven with his eyes set on the horizon in this piece by GlamourCoffee, only this time, he sits by himself. We may not know what Steven is seeing, but that’s okay. Much like with the show’s finale, Steven’s future is ambiguous and could go any number of routes now that he’s leaving Beach City by himself.

In real life, there’s no guarantee of what lies ahead for us and while this is terrifying, it is also inspiring. While we may not know lies ahead for Steven, at least his future will be determined by his choices.

Taking a trip down memory lane, BeetleJulia has Steven, Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst meeting their past selves from before they officially joined the Crystal Gems. Steven interacts with his younger self, Garnet hugs her first fusion form, Amethyst holds up herself from when she first emerged from the Kindergarten, and Pearl clasps the cheeks of herself when she used to serve Pink Diamond.

The artist acknowledges that the show isn’t perfect, but admits that it made them feel better during tough times – a sentiment that many fans can relate to.

Thank goodness Spinel has stretchy arms, otherwise, she wouldn’t get everyone in this photo done by Kell0x. The artist did a good job framing the picture as if it was taken on a camera phone. Everyone gets a spot in the photo as they cram in together.

They even managed to get the Diamonds in the back and fit Steven’s dear old dad’s head in. The artist reveals in the description of this piece how much they loved the show and how it helped them deal with their issues. It’s a sweet gesture made by a fan honoring their favorite show.

Taking a trip down memory lane, mabill2001 gives thanks to the Crewniverse with this pic of the three variations of the Crystal Gems. On the left, you have the gems in their original designs from the first season, and on the right are all their designs from after they’re “reformed.”

In the middle are their current designs standing in the foreground. It’s interesting seeing how the gems have changed aesthetically over the years, as well as developed as characters. This just goes to show the Crewniverse’s ability to flesh out their characters over time.

Sarah4AMEN gives a shout-out to the voice actors by drawing them alongside their characters in their first and current form. Going clockwise, Michaela Dietz is with Amethyst, Estelle is with Garnet, Deedee Magna is with Pearl, and Zach Callison with Steven.

The artwork captures just how personal these characters are to the cast and what they mean to each other. If you visit the artist’s account, there are additional pictures of Peridot, Connie, Lapis, Bismuth, Jasper, and Spinel with their voice actors.

3 NandaBAlves

Steven and the gems give their creator some love in this picture by NandaBAlves. Rebecca Sugar is the creator of Steven Universe and the first woman to independently create a series for Cartoon Network.

She and the Crewniverse have worked hard to bring their story to life and make a statement, fighting just to keep Ruby and Sapphire’s marriage from being cut. With the show ending, her characters are showing their appreciation for all that she has done, drawing her in the same style as in her show.

2 Acynosure

This teary image from Acynosure has Steven waving goodbye as he sheds some tears. Each droplet contains a precious memory of what he is leaving behind. It’s heart-wrenching for us and Steven to go through this, but it isn’t all bad. Connie and Lion wait ahead of him, so Steven isn’t going to be completely alone, and he’s walking towards a bright future, figuratively and literally.

The artist did a magnificent job with this farewell, and it looks as if Steven is waving goodbye to all the show’s fans seeing it. Now we just need to find a new show to fill the void.

1 PinkuNoHato

PinkuNoHato finishes off this list with a heartfelt hug from the Crystal Gems with Steven. Even though Steven is leaving and they can’t help crying, they all still manage to smile. The linework in this piece is astonishing and the shading on their clothes is fantastic, perfectly nailing the show’s art style.

Just as Rose wanted, Steven is leaving Beach City to no longer worry about being a Diamond or a Universe, but just to be a human being. All that’s left to say is thank you Steven Universe. Or as Peridot would say it, “Wow, thanks.”
