GAHHHH, you've come so far! I loved looking at all your gorgeous art from this year, especially the few I haven't scene yet! :3

Okay... your story idea sounds so interesting! The internal conflict and character motivations are so fascinating and intense. From the little I know, I can already see how they shape your main character's actions and drive the story, which is a sure sign of an awesome book. Gah, I really want to know more! I'm sorry you've had bad luck between friends and writing before. What we write is a piece of us, and sharing makes us vulnerable. What some of your former friends said/did after you showed them your work was wrong, and I admire the strength you demonstrated by continuing to write regardless. You have so much passion, and that's amazing! Your old stories sound really intriguing! Also, looking back on old righting is so real. In my younger years, I wrote a "book" (it was actually only like 12,000 words) about unicorns taking down an evil dictator, where the main character became an alicorn at the end. It was heavily inspired by My Little Pony and Harry Potter. Speaking of Harry Potter, I also wrote half a fanfiction where he was sorted into Slytherin, then met this Ravenclaw girl named Eva Brooks whom he immediately developed a crush on. She was also secretly Voldemort and Bellatrix's daughter, who was being forced to spy on Harry, though she really just wanted to be his friend, and a blatant self-insert that looked exactly like me. The art in this video is so good! The first piece looks like a painting, and the lighting is gorgeous. The character's dress is also so detailed and pretty!!! The dynamic, interactive poses on the second piece is spellbinding, especially combined with the circular lighting that enhances the compassion between the two characters. I also love the color palette and character design in the third drawing.

The sketch style as Fitz falls to his knees really demonstrates the emotion behind the action! I adore the way the golden color showcases what Fitz expected and desired for himself, but it blows and billows in the wind, fading away. The animation behind it is so smooth, and the symbolism is fantastic as well! 0:50 THAT POSE!!! THE ANGLE!!! THE FORSHOTENING!!! Glamorous. My eyes got a little teary as I watched this. It perfectly encapsulates Fitz's reaction to Sophie and Keefe in the books; he's devastated, but he stands back and watches it happen because he still wants the people he cares about to be happy. He's a little angry- and he has every right to be- but he also seems to be putting himself down, which is just gahhhhhh! So sad. Marvelous work! :')

First of all, your design for Della is SO PRETTY!!! The effects with all the shadows/silhouettes looks so cool! 0:19 :O I really like this frame! Fitz's determined face, and the sparkles of the crest on wall creates a nice visual, combined with the symbolism of him taking up the "legacy!" the poses on "rise" and "fall" are so expressive. They're really giving Icarus vibes. The cracks and chains!!!! 0:43 Let's go Fitz, pop off!!! I really like how the ending's tone shifts to be more bittersweet and determined. It fit's the song and creates great contrast!

Also all the drawings in the background are absolutely yummylishious

Also the transitions were hilarious and amazing btw ToT
