I like that all of the elements in this piece all swirl to a crescendo focused on the woman’s expression. Nice combination of effects characters, and backgrounds working together to make a whole.
I love your art! Your perspective, attention to detail, color, characters and environment are all super fun and vibrant! I want to be in your scene. It really made me feel at peace, creative, surrounded by loved ones and ready to have a good time. Well deserved! Please keep it up!
Between wonder and desire for discovery, the gigantic details, a super fine line and a palette of pastel colors, the artist transports us into another world, gently making me think of the style of the artist Moebius. I loved this travel.
The artist immerses us in his dark, rather gloomy atmosphere, of a future, according to him, very industrialized. The attention to detail of many hanging sausages, people dancing in holograms or other panels are breathtaking.
In this work, the theme, originality, color and composition are in perfect harmony. I feel what I want to be in the future, what I want to continue to be.
The more I look at it, the more I think about it. What a profound and interesting work it is.The more you look at it and the more you think about it, the more profound and interesting it becomes.
This piece just feels so optimistic and happy despite the unceasing march of time. The cloud rising up in the background, not as a foreboding omen but as a harbinger of possibility, suggests that the future could hold life sustaining rain, or dangerous winds and storms. Yet, the cloud is overshadowed by the confidence and energy of a rock musician who looks like she’s ready for whatever may come. The brush strokes in the piece are masterful, the composition compelling, and the value control is on point.
Excellent 3d lighting and rendering. I too hope to have much more garden time and much less desk time in the next decade.

The subject matter, the story, the animation, everything is fantastic!
Every character is vivid and alive.You'll want to watch them over and over again, scrutinizing their facial expressions and gestures.This is my favorite and the one that drew me in. I want to see more of your other works!
Impressive, this looks like the work of a full team! Sensitive and amazing.
Love the sound, movement, and message of this. Really blown away by it!
Magical and powerful. What a beautiful way to dream the future.
This animation is incredibly personal, yet relatable. Some beautiful shots!
Geniusly mixing different artistic styles and atmospheres to the point of even integrating the drawing with real camera shots. All of this conveys great emotion.
I thought your piece was sooo well done. It was just about the only submission that truly connected with me on a deep emotional level. I teared up real good at the end. It comes down to story and I think you did a phenominal job with that. The art style was consistant all the way through and you were able to communicate the entire story without dialogue, which is no easy task. I can't wait to see what other stories you tell.
We feel a great investment in this animation to the point of even becoming a short film. The style is consistent from start to finish, the emotion is present and bravo for the dubbing.
A dystopian world made utopian by the renewal of creativity. Beyond the pastel style that I love, I really like the story communicated.
Amazing work about dreaming a better future for ourselves!
