I DID NOT expect something fully animated. I was like "well isn't that a quick speed paint"

[ashleykoid]

That first shot was so cool! I love the layouts and your colours!!

[river]

Yess something new from you, it’s like Christmas when you post anything

[hum]

I know im not they only one who’s watched this more than once now

[lukepasca]

This is great! I love the mirror shot I’m sure that took some finessing

[franbl]

I love this simple but impactful story telling! I felt exactly what the character was feeling, and it was put together so well!

[ticketlee]

That is cool. Like- the GLOW, and her expression! :OOO

There's so much dimension in this

[peanuts]

The way she just wiped that makeup on reminds me of Mulan and how she wiped off all of that makeup in that one scene

[smishstudio]

I loved the opening of the door! I can't wait to see what you post next!

[L.clayton.]

I love the beginning with how the door opens, it's so short yet so well put together TwT

Jesus, every video of yours, simply make my day. Wonderful work. The way the animation starts is just CLASSY! LOVE IT!

[FredGunning]

This looks awesome! I love how the different scenes transition, and especially how it starts, it's really creative and that's awesome!

[marcusaasjensen]

OMG, that is astonishingly creative. Short, simple, but consistent. LUV IT!

[gannahossam]

Short and sweet (and a little spooky)! Love the colours in this sequence, they works so so well together!

[xiaokeji]

Just wanted to say your art and animation are amazing! I animate with After Effects and I admire how smooth frame by frame animation works. So much effort went into it.

[ferrizwheel]

WOAH! Very cool!! Love how smooth the animation!
