This killed me. Like, I am died dead. The comment comparing you to James Baxter is so right. The fluidity and yet spontaneity in your animation, the continuity between frames, the appealing style, the LIGHTING?!?…If you haven’t won some kind of award or competition yet, you absolutely should.
when the 2D animation is so smooth is looks like it was rotoscoped over a 3D model..... actually insane. Louixie you have such a future in this artform, I foresee you inspiring and influencing the next generation, honestly
The shadows covering her and turning her pelt grey once Falconflight leaves, intentional or not the symbolism is breaking my heart. I love the moment and acting. The lip sync is so clear (“this way”, “okay!”), being able to read the lips of a silent character shows how incredible your skill is 🥹❤ Lou, you’re a constant inspiration!
I really like the way CrowSong sighs(?) on 0:27 cuz it looks like she's reaching for the sunlight as it fades away, as if she wants to stay with FalconFlight a little longer and this sunlight is like her hope that fades every second idk this animation is so beautiful and smooth I love it so much😭😭
I could seriously watch an entire anime just in your style. It’s absolutely gorgeous and so smooth. The backgrounds, and character movements, along with the shading ugh, it just complements one another so well. Absolutely adore every piece of creation you drop.
OH MU GODDDDDHH I WAS CHEERING YOU ON FROM THE SIDELINES THIS TURNED AMAZING,, THE GENTLE BUT SMOOTH MOVEMENTS AND THE SMALL DETAILS OF THE FUR... THE SOFT SHADING AND THE COLORS MAKE EVERYTHING WORK SO WELL TOGETHER AND THE BACKGROUNDS GAAHH IT WAS SUCH AN HONOR TO WATCH YOU WORK ON THIS AND IM EXCITED TO WATCH YOU WORK ON WHATEVERS NEXT
i cannot get over all the beautiful details in here; the shadows cast by crow and falcon, the way the shadows change shape with the sun placement, falcon's shadow over crow and the wind picking up on crow's fur at the end; my gOODNESSS AUUUGHHHHH this is one of the most beautiful magnificent things ive ever seen. the character acting feels so real and genuine too you did an absolutely INCREDIBLE job on this!!! definitely keep it up but also rest pls friend < 333333
this is fantastic holy crap, this is how i used to imagine them in my head, if there was a feature length movie i'd want it to be animated in this style it's literally fantastic. bravo Louixie
Oh my word, I cannot believe how remarkably beautiful this turned out! You never miss a single detail in your animations! And the consistency between frames is just fantastic!! Gorgeous work as always 🫶🫶🫶
DUUUUDE get this person a team or something! this talent shouldn't be wasted. in my opinion? PERFECT candidate for an animated series with our beloved cats ;)
Oh, my god, it doesn’t even look REAL! AM I DREAMING?! ALL THE DETAILS, THE ANATOMY, THE FLUIDITY, THE SHADINGITY..thats..not a thing, but.. ITS AWESOME
I wrote half an essay in the discord about this video and I'm taking the opportunity to write MORE here, because I'm not done freaking out about this! Firstly, I'm just stunning about the way you've framed every scene. The way the lighting compliments the different parts of the movements, and perfectly guides the eyes while watching. How not only the characters feel 3D, but the backgrounds themselves, and how you've shaded and applied lighting in such a perfect way, with the right amount of softness to make the characters truly feel that they are within the scenes. Genuinely I can't think of an animation I've seen in which the characters feel so truly embedded into their worlds. Your expression work with these cats is stunning and the line art in every frame is FLAWLESS, not a single wrong looking frame done to save time (I know I do that so often). You've gone through great lengths to make the movement so fluid and full, making sure they keep moving subtly even in times when another animator might leave a freeze frame of sorts to save time. But having them continue moving maintains the momentum and the real appeal of the arcs and its just so so so so yummy I want to inhale it all. You've also perfected the movement so that even though it keeps going like that, it still feels like the characters have weight. That's genuinely so hard to achieve because while I've seen a rare few animators who can keep the 3Dimensionality of their characters perfect and the movement constant, its an even rarer few who achieve it whilst still keeping that sense of weight. As one of the top comments said, you are the James Baxter of the new gen animators and its so exciting to see you continuously improve. The gorgeous colours you chose for this really strike me especially since choosing good colours is something I've always struggled with. The colours you used here remind me of my favorite animation director (other than Hayao Miyazaki) Megumi Ishitani's work. I've always looked up to how she uses colours, and now I'll have to study the colours in this video too!! I'm mesmerised by the little bit of sunlight fading off of Falconflight's tail. I can't stress this enough, you are the best thing that has happened to the MAP community. It's an honour to get into your MAPs and you're an inspiration for literally thousands and thousands of people. I haven't spoken to a single fellow MAP animator who hasn't heard of and loved your work. Thanks for doing what you do! I hope you will have a fruitful youtube career this 2025 and on and on, or a career in the industry if you so wish. You are a GENIUS. and I don't mean that in the "oh, you were just born talented" way some people use that word for. I mean Genius as in, you poured in hours and hours and hours and those hours flowered into skills that are incredibly impressive! So yes, you are a genius!
AWGHH gonna cryyy thank you so so incredibly much for the heartwarming compliments and high praise, it makes my day to hear and I appreciate you taking the time to express it, I’m eternally grateful ;u;
LOUU THIS TURNED OUT GORGEOUS!! All the effort you put into shading payed off immensely and it looks absolutely wonderful with all the attention to detail you put into this. How you draw and animate fur genuinely shocks me, with it being so smooth and looking really, really complicated (in a good way!). I can't stop rewatching this,, it's so fluidd!! All the motion that's so smooth reminds me of the old disney movies, and especially Milt Kahl's work. This is truly breathtaking. I can't wait for the MAP to release!!! /pos /gen
LOU, THIS TURNED OUT. SO PHENOMENALLY BEAUTIFUL IM IN AWE!?!??! OH MY GOSSHS You are such a motivator and inspirator and just how many positive words i can even fit onto this here. Your heart pours into absolutely everything you make and it shows so so much. This project took SO long. I remember seeing the first ever rough draft! I genuinely remember crying over the cloud scene
Maybe it wasn’t intentional but I like the idea of the sunlight “fading away” with Falcon; over the edge Crow has to glimpse through the only light one last time before it fades away, and then it’s all dark again. Regardless, I cannot begin to express how well this was animated. This seems like something you’d see in a high budget Ghibli film, and I am all here for it. It NEVER seems like something one person is doing, but yet you are! Keep up the hard work as always!
Lou!! what on earth is in your water holy shit!! this is just otherworldly. The slow spacing and smoothness gives the whole sequence this lovely dreamlike quality. Just... chef kiss!!!
I think this is one of my favourite animations of yours. The setting, the way the lighting and shading foreshadows what comes next in crowsongs story, the expressions and the way you animate fur… this is just gorgeous.
The fact you do this all by hand always baffles and amazes me, it's all so gorgeous and beautifully animated. The little details as well? AAAA, I love it all!! Needless to say, amazing work as always! Can't wait to see what you're able to achieve this year, Lou! 💖
the shading, the movement, the expressions & wind... louixie, this is so perfect!! I also love that Crowsong seems to say "this way" and he replies "okay" before they walk off i also love the scene they say goodbye; the turn, the nuzzle, and him smiling and waving goodbye with his tail its so beautiful!! you gone did outdone yourself!
this is a really beautiful piece of artistry, lou. in a world that seems to hate art so much at the moment it’s wonderful to see something made with such passion and technical skill. i hope you know you’ve made a big impact on the art world. thank you.
THIS IS SO AWESOME IM DEAD. The amount of effort, motion, and shading put into this is UNBELIEVABLE. And it won’t stop there- the small head turns, small waves of wind on the fur and the every detail out into every piece. This is truly a work of art!!❤❤❤
GIRL YOUR ART IS ALWAYS SO BREATHTAKING AND GORGOUS BUT MY GOD THIS? WOWOWOWOW AWESOME SAUCE AHHH ITS SO BEAUTIFUL THE DETAILS THE SMOOTH ASS ANIMATION THE SHADING AHHH IM GONNA BLOW UP
So beautiful. I love the fluidity of the mouvement, the emotions are greatly conveyed. Beautiful animation. The flicker of light touxhing the top of the tail killed me. I'm rewatching all of it frame by frame RIGHT NOW. Incredible work !!!
AHHHH THIS IS SO SMOOTH AND PRETTY!!! I feel like you've improved so much so fast with every animation you make! You're a HUGE inspiration to me and I cannot WAIT to watch the completed MAP!! :D
HOLY SHIT LOU. I CANT BELIEVE THIS IS REAL HOW DO YOU EVEN DO THIS??? THIS IS SO STUNNING IN EVERY SINGLE WAY i’ve NEVER seen an animation with so much depth and such good shape consistency it actually looks rotoscoped. dude you’re ascending to a completely new level of warrior cats animators this is so amazing and I’m so inspired!!!
I cannot express how beautiful this is, lou. So many people strive to animate like you, they appreciate your art, your truely a huge impact. On behalf of, im sure, thousands and thousands of people, thank you for the effort you put into making these beautiful animations.
WOAH… IM NOT EXAGGERATING FOR THE SAKE OF A COMPLIMENT, I AUDIBLY GASPED AND MY MOUTH STAYED WIDE OPEN THE WHOLE TIME IN ABSOLUTE SHOCK AT HOW GLORIOUS THIS WAS… JUST… WOAH… I salute to you - the pure patience, determination, and skill this must’ve taken is something that not many people can offer.
This is just absolutely SPECTACULAR. You're seriously probably the best animator in the community. I'm always SOOOO impressed by your work. I'd love to see a whole movie animated in your style. Amazing work as always!
Absolutely incredible, the way you capture the scenes actually make it feel alive, the shading, everything! The expressions make us understand what they are feeling and doing, which makes it even better. You can see when both cats walk it actually looks like they are walking on a certain surface, leaning their weight on every step in a very natural way! It’s amazing!!!!
Your understanding of light and shadow and how it affects the form/mass of the characters is incredible. Just the grey shadows already gives a 3D feel to them. Amazing!
I just know this MAP is going to bring me to tears once it's finished. The amount of detail, passion, and time each and every person has put into this map, but especially you, with nearly an entire minute of animation that you've dedicated to this project, is beyond inspiring!
I'm in absolute awe! The way you made them look so animated made me almost mistake it for 3D animation for a second! Your style and lighting are something I look up to and aspire to, you're amazing!
The attention to detail, the almost 3-Dimensional look as the characters turn to emote, the little micro movements- they're absolutely noticed so never stop working hard on making quality work like this! I hope you end up doing great things for the animation industry
You are next level! The attention to detail you place in your pieces shows true artistry. You have a very special touch and soul that shines through your work, and it only gets better and better.
wow, you never case to amaze me with the sheer amount of detail and movement and life thats in all of your animations. beautiful, i could watch this for years and never be bored of it
It's giving the 2d animations that we would watch as a kid. Reminds me of brother bear with how warm the tone is, the forest and overall how smooth it is. I am in love with this.
The is so incredibly beautiful, the scenery and shading? Literally looks like I’m watching a movie. The fluidity is so good too! Ahhh this is literally a masterpiece?! Thank you for making this wonderful work of art
This might be one of the most gorgeous animations I’ve seen from this community and you, the atmosphere is overall so dreamy and soft and the amount of energy and effort put into this is so clear. Always super inspiring and phenomenal :))
Genuinely speechless, been looping this countless times studying each frame and how the shadows work throughout this your improvement has been awe-inspiring and seeing the progress at the end further blows my mind the amount of love and effort doesn't fly by unnoticed. The praise you are getting here is more than deserved just the turnarounds and continous flowing of the fur along the wind is just OUGH
This is so beautiful, the animation is so smooth and flowy like butter and the way the shadows moved along the fur made it look so 3d. it must've taken alot of effort. Amazing work liouxie!! You may not see this but you are a huge inspiration to me!!
I have never been so blown away by a piece of animation like this. This looks phenomenal in every way! The shading and lighting FROM THE 3D CAMERA ANGLE SPIN????? I'm flipping through each frame like a book.
The studio ghibli vibes this has gives me CHILLS! I'm so happy to be able to support you louixie, the animation is insane! I hope to be able to animate like you do one day! ^^
Your art never ceases to amaze me. The movements are so fluid, the shading/lighting is eye candy, and the characters are drawn so beautifully. Can't wait to see the final product in the MAP. Keep up the great work, Louixie!
THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL! so so so beautiful, that first scene is so *fluid* and smooth - it looks like a goddamn studio animated movie with a $10,000,000 budget! The shadows, the wind in their fur, the way you had Crowsong nuzzle into Flalconflight. And the setting sun turning her pelt to grey once he leaves- my heart is broken again. I could watch an entire 300 hours of a show in your animation style, it's so beautiful!
I LOVE YOUR ANIMATIONS SO MUCH AAAAAAAAA These shots, this light, the backgrounds and the atmosphere are WONDERFUL!! I don't have enough words.. I can't wait to see how it will be in the finished map
sooo many incredible details in this animation i could talk about them all day but definitely favorite is how you can see falconflights attention drift in the first shot and then his ear quickly flicks back to crowsong when she speaks to him. i adore all the little things in this that make the characters feel alive the time and work you put into this really shows! it makes me feel kinda somber seeing how happy both of them are here knowing what happens when they meet next🥲almost makes me think no wonder falconflight didnt recognize crowsong in the end seeing her having killed her entire clan vs the happy cat she is here
LOU, your works are truly inspiring and talking from the deepest of my heart it's always a pleasure watching the process of your next breathtaking scenes 🥹 I can't believe how fast time passed from the moment you started this project and it's so wild how REAL your emotions feel through the screen! Those hours weren't for nothing 💓💓💓 thank you for doing what you truly love and never stop chasing your passion!
OH. MY. GOSH. THIS IS LITERALLY SO GOOOOOOD, ITS LITERALLY BETTER THAN SOME STUDIO ANIMATION IVE SEEN, LIKE WOAHHH. AND THE 3D FORMS OF IT ARE SOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOD
OH MY GODDD????????? THIS IS JAW DROPPINGLY GORGEOUS THE TURNS ARE ANIMATED SO SMOOTHLY AND WELL the amount of effort put into this is CRAZYYY i love ur art !! ✨✨
breathtaking!!! i’m not sure what to compliment the most- the colours, the lighting- oh, the lighting!!! such a beautiful scene!! such emotion… i am truly speechless
Lou every time you upload is food to the eye! It’s like that line from Hamilton “How come no one can get you on their staff?” You are such a professional and you are amazing at animating!
I had goosebumps watching this! Just everything about it is so spectacular to see, to the colours, shading, lightning, animation.. It's all so mindblowing how well this was animated! This is so incredible smooth! I wish I could see this as a movie cause OMG I would watch it! Such amazing work! You do such fantastic animations but holy cow.
Wait I just noticed at the end falcon waves with his tail!! That's adorable!! There's so much detail in the background too!! I love this!! LOU THIS IS AMAZING!!
This animation is so beautifully done I’m so astonished to see this level of talent and skill, I want an entire series/movie of warrior cats animated EXACTLY LIKE THIS I miss 2D animation so much and I feel like this would be the perfect style/medium
This is such a gorgeously bittersweet animation, I can 100% believe the hundreds of hours poured into all the quality present. You can feel the longing in Crowsong's expression in the end, as if she's wishing she could make the time spent with Falconflight last forever, or even come with him to the Cats Of Prey. If only things had worked out that way :(
This is totally amazing and spectacular Louixie! I love seeing that characteristic slow but at the same time harmonious movement of your characters, like the detail of the fur or the natural movement of their actions, it is very very beautiful. Pure art for my eyes! 💖✨
Have literally been watching this on loop because oh my goodness it’s so good. To see your skill advance in real time from your SU animatic to now feels surreal. Thank you for taking us on this art journey with you, and I simply cannot wait to see what you put out next!
MY EYES ARE GONNA CREATE A FLOOD THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL IN EVERYWAY!!!!! This map is seriously pulling at my heart strings by how pure and wholesome it is everything about this was a gem to watch! I cannot wait to see the final product of this beautiful map :3
With the scare of AI, this was so healing to watch. Thank you for creating, thank you for putting your hard work into something so gorgeous and heartfelt. I can see the effort put into this and its so inspiring!
RAHHHH LOUUU U GET BETTER N BETTER EVERY TIME ITS CRAZYYY !! i actually love the lil detail of crows eyes dilating when she steps into the light UGGHHH JUST ALL IN ALL SUCH A BEAUTIFULLY DONE PART
im not sure if you'll see this, i dont usually comment on stuff, but i absolutely am stunned by your understanding of 3D form in animation, and the way it continues to get better and better every time you post. your lighting is also so gorgeous. its so so motivating and inspiring seeing works you and others make as i get closer to finishing art school, and knowing that i too will keep improving.
Please never give up . Keep going for one day you’ll become the greatest animator alive . I will always support you no matter what . As long as you continue to thrive
Your animations literally give me a happy giggly feeling. You give me motivation to keep practicing my own animation. You do SO wonderful, keep imoroving!!!(3
Lou you truly are becoming the James Baxter of this gen animators, everyday you continue to get better and better and it’s actually insane!
thank you turr
Omg that’s such a good way to describe it you’re so right!
THATS EXACTLY WHAT I ONCE WAS THINKING SHE IS ONE OF THE BEST ANIMATORS I KNOW
Nah, even BETTER than James Baxter

It's giving the 2d animations that we would watch as a kid. Reminds me of brother bear with how warm the tone is, the forest and overall how smooth it is. I am in love with this.
this is a treat for my eyes, i'm so glad i can watch this and how much progress you've had with each new project ! ! !
The is so incredibly beautiful, the scenery and shading? Literally looks like I’m watching a movie. The fluidity is so good too! Ahhh this is literally a masterpiece?! Thank you for making this wonderful work of art
TYSVM!!
This might be one of the most gorgeous animations I’ve seen from this community and you, the atmosphere is overall so dreamy and soft and the amount of energy and effort put into this is so clear. Always super inspiring and phenomenal :))
You continue to impress me, the lighting, and smooth animation, is incredible.
I hope you’re SO proud of yourself. This is genuinely stunning
HOLY MOLY??? IM GENUINELY SPEECHLESS IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS AHHH
Genuinely speechless, been looping this countless times studying each frame and how the shadows work throughout this your improvement has been awe-inspiring and seeing the progress at the end further blows my mind the amount of love and effort doesn't fly by unnoticed. The praise you are getting here is more than deserved just the turnarounds and continous flowing of the fur along the wind is just OUGH
This is so beautiful, the animation is so smooth and flowy like butter and the way the shadows moved along the fur made it look so 3d. it must've taken alot of effort. Amazing work liouxie!! You may not see this but you are a huge inspiration to me!!
I have never been so blown away by a piece of animation like this. This looks phenomenal in every way! The shading and lighting FROM THE 3D CAMERA ANGLE SPIN????? I'm flipping through each frame like a book.
The studio ghibli vibes this has gives me CHILLS! I'm so happy to be able to support you louixie, the animation is insane! I hope to be able to animate like you do one day! ^^
My lifespan just got prolonged by at least 5 years by seeing this. Absolutely stunning!
Your art never ceases to amaze me. The movements are so fluid, the shading/lighting is eye candy, and the characters are drawn so beautifully. Can't wait to see the final product in the MAP. Keep up the great work, Louixie!
WHAT. W-WHAT IM ACTUALLY DECEASED AND MY ASHES ARE BEING BLOWN AWAY. THIS IS INCREDIBLE
THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL! so so so beautiful, that first scene is so *fluid* and smooth - it looks like a goddamn studio animated movie with a $10,000,000 budget! The shadows, the wind in their fur, the way you had Crowsong nuzzle into Flalconflight. And the setting sun turning her pelt to grey once he leaves- my heart is broken again. I could watch an entire 300 hours of a show in your animation style, it's so beautiful!
I LOVE YOUR ANIMATIONS SO MUCH AAAAAAAAA
These shots, this light, the backgrounds and the atmosphere are WONDERFUL!! I don't have enough words..
I can't wait to see how it will be in the finished map
HOLY COW THIS LOOKS 3D IN SOME PLACES WHAT IN THE WORLD!?!? LOUIXIE YOU ARE INCREDIBLE!!!
sooo many incredible details in this animation i could talk about them all day but definitely favorite is how you can see falconflights attention drift in the first shot and then his ear quickly flicks back to crowsong when she speaks to him. i adore all the little things in this that make the characters feel alive the time and work you put into this really shows!
it makes me feel kinda somber seeing how happy both of them are here knowing what happens when they meet next🥲almost makes me think no wonder falconflight didnt recognize crowsong in the end seeing her having killed her entire clan vs the happy cat she is here
LOUIXIE THIS IS INSANE! you’ve done it again, this is truly my favourite piece you’ve done MAP wise! you are my inspiration 💖
LOU, your works are truly inspiring and talking from the deepest of my heart it's always a pleasure watching the process of your next breathtaking scenes 🥹 I can't believe how fast time passed from the moment you started this project and it's so wild how REAL your emotions feel through the screen! Those hours weren't for nothing 💓💓💓 thank you for doing what you truly love and never stop chasing your passion!
This is so unbelievably beautiful 😭 the lighting the animation the backgrounds I could cry you inspire me so much 💖💞
OH. MY. GOSH. THIS IS LITERALLY SO GOOOOOOD, ITS LITERALLY BETTER THAN SOME STUDIO ANIMATION IVE SEEN, LIKE WOAHHH. AND THE 3D FORMS OF IT ARE SOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOD
OH MY GODDD????????? THIS IS JAW DROPPINGLY GORGEOUS THE TURNS ARE ANIMATED SO SMOOTHLY AND WELL the amount of effort put into this is CRAZYYY i love ur art !! ✨✨
this is PEAK!! you're honestly one of my biggest inspirations and this is definitely part of that.
breathtaking!!! i’m not sure what to compliment the most- the colours, the lighting- oh, the lighting!!! such a beautiful scene!! such emotion… i am truly speechless
Lou every time you upload is food to the eye! It’s like that line from Hamilton “How come no one can get you on their staff?” You are such a professional and you are amazing at animating!
deeply mesmerized by the movements smoothness insanity. i bow
the way that you do your shadows and lighting looks extremely realistic !!! this is amazing,,
Wow this is so gorgeous! Like wow! The fact you did this animation by yourself. Your animations are just as good as studio animators ❤
every movement feels so real and natural i’m actually in shock
I had goosebumps watching this! Just everything about it is so spectacular to see, to the colours, shading, lightning, animation.. It's all so mindblowing how well this was animated! This is so incredible smooth! I wish I could see this as a movie cause OMG I would watch it! Such amazing work! You do such fantastic animations but holy cow.
OMG LOU ITS SO COOL!!!
you are making great progress, you are a true professional in your field!!! It turned out very cool and cute!
Oh god the animation is so fluid!!!! TTTWTTT Incredible job Louixie!!
Wait I just noticed at the end falcon waves with his tail!! That's adorable!! There's so much detail in the background too!! I love this!! LOU THIS IS AMAZING!!
I can't even talk to describe the beauty of the animation. It's so Awesome! ✨️
This is so beautiful, I cannot get over how absolutely gorgeous this is
This animation is so beautifully done I’m so astonished to see this level of talent and skill, I want an entire series/movie of warrior cats animated EXACTLY LIKE THIS I miss 2D animation so much and I feel like this would be the perfect style/medium
We need a FULL tutorial for this, like how to use clip studio paint and everything! This is just too good to get my mind off of!
This is such a gorgeously bittersweet animation, I can 100% believe the hundreds of hours poured into all the quality present. You can feel the longing in Crowsong's expression in the end, as if she's wishing she could make the time spent with Falconflight last forever, or even come with him to the Cats Of Prey. If only things had worked out that way :(
This is totally amazing and spectacular Louixie!
I love seeing that characteristic slow but at the same time harmonious movement of your characters, like the detail of the fur or the natural movement of their actions, it is very very beautiful.
Pure art for my eyes! 💖✨
Have literally been watching this on loop because oh my goodness it’s so good. To see your skill advance in real time from your SU animatic to now feels surreal. Thank you for taking us on this art journey with you, and I simply cannot wait to see what you put out next!
MY EYES ARE GONNA CREATE A FLOOD THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL IN EVERYWAY!!!!! This map is seriously pulling at my heart strings by how pure and wholesome it is everything about this was a gem to watch! I cannot wait to see the final product of this beautiful map :3
With the scare of AI, this was so healing to watch. Thank you for creating, thank you for putting your hard work into something so gorgeous and heartfelt. I can see the effort put into this and its so inspiring!
RAHHHH LOUUU U GET BETTER N BETTER EVERY TIME ITS CRAZYYY !! i actually love the lil detail of crows eyes dilating when she steps into the light UGGHHH JUST ALL IN ALL SUCH A BEAUTIFULLY DONE PART
im not sure if you'll see this, i dont usually comment on stuff, but i absolutely am stunned by your understanding of 3D form in animation, and the way it continues to get better and better every time you post. your lighting is also so gorgeous. its so so motivating and inspiring seeing works you and others make as i get closer to finishing art school, and knowing that i too will keep improving.
Please never give up . Keep going for one day you’ll become the greatest animator alive . I will always support you no matter what . As long as you continue to thrive
It's giving aristocats and I'm here for it ❤
i am absolutely enamored by your level of skill, you honest to god have to be one of the best animators of our time
The shading in some parts makes it look 3D! This is genuinely so so good.
Your animations literally give me a happy giggly feeling. You give me motivation to keep practicing my own animation. You do SO wonderful, keep imoroving!!!(3
