To Haunt a Phantom: Here Comes a Thought

"Take a moment to think of just, flexibility, love, and trust,"

So I was so moved by the newest episode of Steven Universe, which featured this gorgeous song sung by Garnet (Estelle) and Stevonnie (AJ), and I was inspired to draw this comic, with Jeanine and Arielle. And I couldn't help but draw Jeanine in her SU teeshirt cause it was just too good ^^ And I added the butterflies from the episode in the last panel.

But essentially, the point of this comic was to sort of show the after the happy ever after. What those two went through at the opera house was traumatic, Arielle freaking died, and Jeanine had to watch the woman she loved bleed to death in her arms. I wanted to focus on Arielle, though (if you can spot it) you can tell that Jeanine has had a rough time since she returned to her own time. Like in the SU episode, it's important that the two of them talk through what happened, and get past it rather than just shoving it back down and trying to forget.

I love drawing these two, and I love Steven Universe, and this was just a match made in heaven.

For those who don't know them, Jeanine and Arielle are from my Phantom of the Opera based webcomic which can be read here: elyssajm.deviantart.com/art/To…
