Maybe a silly detail to focus on, but I love their strong noses, especially on the witch. And the way his hat seems to function like a selkie's coat, but instead of hiding it to keep him human, the witch's reaction is the opposite - not only will she give it back, she'll give him a ribbon to keep from losing it again.
Same! I regret that fewer artists like to focus on unique or at least distinctive noses, especially with convex nose bridges and especially on characters who are pretty ladies. Admittedly noses of any type can take some effort to get the hang of but it just takes practice. I also love how sweet the relationship is too; he's repaying her so much because she was kind enough to just hand his hat back to him instead of her forcing him to be a certain way through deceit.
Great observation! It certainly highlights how she loves him as he is - the shapeshifting crow with a human form, instead of just the human body, and enjoys his company this way.
I'm guessing his crow brain was just there's a pretty shiny to give her but then the human brain took over when it realized it was a ring and that has a specific meaning that is way too early for but he still keeps it for when the time is right
1:31 * ~ give girl present ~ * (it's a diamond ring) !! PANIK ATTAK !! What a precious story and a magical connection! I do hope Mr. Crow can gift his pretty lady the ring someday

Aww. That was so sweet. I legitimately thought you would throw in some angst, but it was super wholesome (Don’t think I didn’t see that emerald ear ring). ; )

I love that I can see the evolution of your character designs over time sort of culminating in these OCs of yours! The way the hair is drawn, the noses, the lips. Your style has developed so strongly and so beautifully I’m genuinely so impressed and a bit jealous haha. We’re so used to seeing characters from other medias that have some consistent elements no matter who draws them, it’s always great to see what you all do once you are able to make something of your own. Also this was the cutest fucking thing I’ve ever seen my god.
This was honestly such a beautiful little story to watch. The atmosphere, the colors (THE COLORS AAAA), the characters...I WILL gush. Don't tempt me with a good time... ;)
Your honor I need six seasons and a movie trilogy- I love them so much 😭 Homie, your art style??? The Music choice?? Character designs??? Absolutely stellar dude, may the algorithm stay in your favour o7
THIS WAS SO CUTE OH MY GOD!!! the part with the ring- I DIED laughing holy crap that was so funny! All the little trinkets were so adorable! I adore the linework on the Witch's dress, it was so beautiful and the NOSE of the CROW AHHH SO BIRB!!! I LOVE HIM!!! The ending with the ribbon around his hat was so perfect, just wow, I hope he gives that ring one day... hehe
I like that you still put the concept that crows like shiny things, and how most of them were little gifts. This was a BEAUTIFUL animatic, and I LOVED this so much. It is kinda like Kristin (I cannot spell) and Philza. Philza being the crow and Kristin being the witch
What a bunch of charming characters TToTT 🧡🧡 The style and overall look is just so cozy and warm. It really works well with the cold season! I adore your story so much qwq super glad that this got recommended to me 🌻
THIS IS SO ADORABLE WHAAAT??? The autumn colours, the music, the facial expressions, the animation!!!! THIS IS SO GOOD! This alone fulfilled all of my fall needs and vibes. Thank you. Also your OCs are so adorable and I would love to see more vids with them in it
THIS IS SO CUTE, ALMOST HAD ME CRYING!! I LOVE THIS, THE WAY HOW YOU ANIMATE THE CROW AS HUMAN AND AS A BIRD IS SO TALENTED! I LOVE THE ART STYLE! this is so sweet and i love how they keep on exchanging the hat!! the crows giving her pebbles and jewelry are ADORABLE!! him realizing the proposal is SO cute!! I love this, Maeple you're so talented and deserve more recognition and i hope all goes well for you !!
Can’t wait to share this with my daughter she is a young animator self taught and she always calls me “a witch in the woods” but in the best way bc I communicate with the birds and animals and plants. She is young upstart with her creations and thank you for sharing your work and creations with us, it will inspire her as well as it did me. Lovely story ❤❤❤
I found this video through browsing and it will now live in my "For Hard Days"-bookmarks list that I revisit whenever the world is just too much. It has such a warm and wholesome vibe and the combination of the illustrations/animations and the music make for a wonderful combination. Thank you for sharing this story with us!
I love this so much!! From the beautiful music to the design of both characters to their expressions it was all so cute!!!❤ the little hat from the crow and the details on the little trinkets how she rearranged them and the details on the ribbon when she gifted it to him 🥰 I really love your art and the way you convey a story, congrats on the premiere!
this was so adorable !! I loved the little part with the ring that was cute. And they ended up using all of the trinkets that the crow had given them in the end to show their appreciation. Very cute and sweet. Thank you so much for making this ^.^
I'm so glad that I clicked on this. It made me cry in the best way. Agree with other comments that I love the way you draw noses. The thumbnail drew me in so well, and really made me want to watch the video. Thank you for giving me the best 4 minutes of my day. I rarely subscribe based on the first video I see from someone, but you definitely earned it.
This was wonderful, and gets crows and ravens beautifully. Get on their good side and you have a friend for life. Because that good will from the crow gets passed to the others in its group (flock/murder/D&D group) and the others will ALSO treat the human well. Get on a crows bad side? Try to move away quickly, before they can pass word along.
MAEPLEEEE THIS IS SO GOOD HOLY HELL. The vibes, the music, the character designs, and the STORYY HERJRJJRHR I love humanoid x shapeshifter stories sm (esp if that shapeshifter is primarily a crow/corvid >:D) so this just hit Every point and left me desiring to know sm more about them!!! I hope you do more original animations like this in the future, as the characters and world you’ve made are so beautiful and well done!! With that said, thank you for sharing your original characters/story with us, it’s so charming and Ik how daunting that can be. I look forward to your next post! :DDD
Maeple this is ADORABLE! I love the characters and their designs and hope they live happily ever after, lol :) and the music cutting out when the crow-shifter made the connection about the ring sent me 😂😂 such a cute animation, perfect for Halloween! (also, I saw that earring)
I saw the title and hoped it was a love story..and i was not disappointed!! I love how he blushes in crow form and how she *kept* everything! The animation was simple but all the more charming for it, and the art style is lovely! I'd love to see their relationship develop and that ring he stashed to make a return.^^ Edit: awww, and me belatedly realizing she gave him her ribbon!! How adorable!
OMG, this is so cuteeee. I just love that the crow guy actually looks like a crow in a human form. His nose is similar to a beak. This is just perfect 🥹🥹
Lol I love how the music cut for the ring bit, very funny! This is such a sweet animation, love everything about it. The character designs are great. Love the noses ♥
First of all your style is GORGEOUS, I have the biggest crush on both the witch and the crow and when the music cut out for a moment when he had the ring it made me laugh so hard :,) ❤
That was so beautiful, truly a way that a crow would show his love and affection, and the fact that she not only kept it all but also used it to decorate her house, oh man, I want a love like that
THIS WAS SO CUUUUTE! The vibes, the colors, the designs, the clear story, it all came together to make a beautiful love story between these two. Incredible work as always!!!

Reminds me of the old Greek style.
A head like an art deco hood ornament, splitting the wind. Sleek.
Great observation! It certainly highlights how she loves him as he is - the shapeshifting crow with a human form, instead of just the human body, and enjoys his company this way.
Witches do be having big noses. *Sage Nod*
I'm guessing his crow brain was just there's a pretty shiny to give her but then the human brain took over when it realized it was a ring and that has a specific meaning that is way too early for but he still keeps it for when the time is right
right? you know darn well he remembers where that ring is lmao!
yeah he keeps it safe and puts it away for later
the way his human part realized it was a ring was soooo cute.
love how the music stopped when he realized it made me chuckle 😂
"Hold up! Wait a minute!"
"Too much, too much!"
the way the music cut off when he realized what the ring meant *Sent me* LMAOO
@@mornin6079What did it mean? I'm still confused.
@ he was proposing
Yes 😂😂
Crows remember. They know who’s been nice and who’s been mean. They’ll leave gifts for who’s been nice and hold grudges against who’s been mean
And they teach they children both things.
So be careful with them, because a crow can hate or love you because something you did to their grandpa.

Ok but maeples art style has such a cute style, it almost resembles like a combination of the art style of mulan and wolfwalkers :>
Omg you’re so right, and it’s combined in such a nice way too.
I could see that.
I had been thinking of Greek vases, but those two also fit.
Aww, cute blushy crow!
They are so freaking adorable oh my god. His little face when he thought about the ring! The piling of gifts! It was all so cute!
I'm gonna tuck this away somewhere safe so I can pull it out whenever I'm having a tough time. It's so sweet and cozy.

This was so sweet! Him just slowly falling for her more and more and her feeling the same just warms my heart so much 💚💚💚
Nobody can convince me hooked noses aren’t beautiful. The character designs are gorgeous!
NAH BECAUSE HIM GIVING HER ANYTHING SHINY HE FINDS IS SO ADORABLE!!
So is her giving him a ribbon so that his hat doesn’t fly off again, my heart 😭

I will now headcanon that all missing shiny and cool bits and baubles go towards building Witch x Crow ships. I find it a worthwhile sacrifice.
I'm not crying, there's just a crow feather in my eye... 🥲

He kept leaving her shiny things so cute I love crows amazing animation ❤
THE CROW POSE 1:52
