Does Not Illustrate: Recap.Steven Universe S 2 E 26 Stevens Birthday

Does it seem possible for someone here to find and post a larger version of the first panel? The bottom two feature a scene that doesn't actually appear in the episode.

Here's a screenshot gallery...I have zero interest in this show so I don't really care what gets used, but there should be something good here.

This◊ looks like the image I was originally looking for.

I also just noticed that it doesn't seem like any of this show's recaps use screenshots from episodes, which might or might not have rendered this thread pointless. Someone who edits those pages more often than I do should probably let me know whether or not they'd mind me cropping out so much of this picture.

If none of the people who edit these recap pages more often than I do want to reply to this thread, just close it with no consensus to change the picture.

There's nothing stopping a Recap page from having a picture, even though most of them don't. The problem right now is that the thread isn't visible to those who would care about it—the only link it has outside of this forum is the little Image Pickin' notifier on top of the specific Recap page itself. You could generate some interest by posting a link to this thread in the Steven Universe thread on the Western Animation forum (I'm sure there is one), or look at the Recap pages' history to see who's been editing them and send those tropers some private messages.

Don't use the comic, use a still from the show. Does this show use title cards? If so, use that.

The problem is, I fear that if I use an actual picture from the show (including the title card), it would muck up consistency with the other recap pages. Those also use promotional artwork, regardless of their relevance to the actual plots.

The current picture is promotional art. It was made by the episode's storyboard artist as an alternate Episode Title Card. Most episodes have these, which is where all the Steven Universe recap pages have gotten their images, because the actual title cards have little variance (mostly just being the same shot with text).

Most of these card are rather straightforward, even having credits like a proper title card. This particular storyboard artist (Lamar Abrams) tends to make illustrations (and descriptions) that are only tangentially related to the episode and/or comically misleading toward the episode's content. Usually other promotional art is used, but for this episode and several others, there was no more.

So, would using only the first panel have messed up consistency with the other recaps?

To a degree, yes. It would also cut out the author's signature.

I'd just as well not have an image. Not all of the Steven Universe recap pages do.

Clock is set.

Clock expired with no progress, so closing.
