Last Friday's broadcast of the DC Nation trailer on Cartoon Network got a lot of fans buzzing about the future of this renewed partnership between the network and its sister company DC Comics. And one of the animators behind the work reveals that one of the scenes glimpsed in the 1:35 commercial is leading up to an animated short featuring DC's Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld. First off, here's the excerpt from the trailer:

"To clear up the confusion over this part of the DC Nation commercial, she is getting a short," said animator Brianne Drouhard. " I am working with a group of fantastic people to put this together."

Drouhard, who is also working on the upcoming Teen Titans shorts, was given the task of doing the Amethyst part of the DC Nation trailer on short notice, and was assisted by Claire Lenth on color help and video composite work from Will Feng.

"It's been rewarding and a lot of fun to work with such a great team," Drouhard continued. "Later in 2012 you'll get to see our efforts!"
