“Once every Valentines Day, a mythical being gifts us with their talents of art, the presence of this wonderful being is extremely welcomed by all who are lucky enough to encounter it.” Happy Valentines Day guys! And ohmygosh this is a true masterpiece dude! You did a fantastic job with this one!!!

currently stuck in a toxic relationship, this gives me hope that there's someone out there who is just for me. <3

It is very interesting to see that I could just take a screenshot for each scene of it, everything is so beautiful and with colors well combined. I especially like those scenes that are between 0:55 and 1:02
It is still a phase of knowledge for the two, they are still friends but they clearly want something more, this scene makes everything look so mysterious, because they still want to know more about each other but they are shy with the leaves covering the their faces.

I wish you both the best! <3

revisited in 2025 to remind me what inspired my animation career

Love the stylistic choices here. It's refreshing to see everyone of your new works, watching your progress over the years has been a pleasure.
The color pallet here is very pleasing to the eyes.

I get the feeling these will never stop, it’ll be the year 2040 and Splashmantha will STILL be expressing her love in this wonderful yearly tradition of crafting these beautiful animatics each Valentine’s Day. This one especially is full of so much vibrancy and expression! You can feel just how much he means to you and it’s so amazingly damn wholesome ❤️ .

I rarely comment on YouTube, but this time I have to. This isn’t just gorgeous, stunning, smooth, but it’s inspiring! I can’t help but come back and watch this because this makes me want to pick up my pen and get to work. This is downright my favorite video ever on the internet. It’s great to see you happy Splash while working hard in school. There’s a lot I can relate to you with. Happy late Valentines Day, thank you for being my inspiration.

I appreciate the fact that the scenery gets brighter and more saturated as you two meet up again. Its adorable and signifies that world was dull without the other, its adorable and reminds of how lonely i myself am :) beautiful piece of work either way, keep it up
