This was awesome and so cool!! I read about the character and they seem very surreal but also comforting. Like I said at the premiere, I love how you did a mixing in of the backgrounds of actual places while also inputting Flux in there as well. Amazing job!!

[@Boxpersonsd]

Just wondering where can we read about them?

[@ember-fire7583]

@@Boxpersonsd The info about them is in a link in the video description below in their toyhouse!

THIS IS STUNNING!!! The mood and emotions conveyed in this are almost unexplainable, it feels somewhat dreamlike but also nostalgic to me! I love the shift in color and you have such an interesting character too! Amazing work as always!!

[@belovedwaffles]

this is one of the best oc animations I’ve seen in awhile, ITS SO GOOD!!! the pacing and placement of the character is just so visually stunning and very eye pleasing!! not to mention how well you added the character to the backgrounds, it actually feels like theyre in the environment!! this has honestly inspired me a lot right now, I just can’t get enough of how good it is!!!!

[@thelovelyladylil]

THIS IS GORGEOUS!! The mix of drawing and real life images is done super well, and the character’s neon design looks so cool!

[@Rat-on-Toast]

OMG ITS SO BEAUTIFUL MY EYEBALLS ARE SCREAMING FROM HAPPINESS

[@HerooftheWind]

This is gorgeous, seriously the smoothness is amazing, I really love how everything was portrayed here too

[@kirbybrik]

I absolutely love the vibes of this! the backgrounds, the colors, everything just fits together perfectly, I hope you're proud of this because this is fantastic 👏

[@fox-hen]

My mouth opens in a gaped position, my eyes dart across the screen as a satisfying mix of colours bloom off it, into my eyes. My mouth continues to be glazed open, as time passes, it gets wider, i feel like it's so familiar, every place I have been, I have seen, yet I haven't? You always seem to know what hasn't been brought to youtube, and fix it. This is amazing, I am in love with your artstyle, and the characters who live it.

[@Ciniris_]

That's deep and I feel almost exactly the same!

[@saigesplayce3915]

This is one of the best characters I’ve ever seen. Even though most people would call that color switch simple, I really think it’s so cool. Ima do some research on it.

[@SaiSkudios]

I found this because of a youtube search bar typo-- and oh my gosh, I'm so glad I DID find this!! I absolutely love your artstyle, it's incredibly nice to look at! The shading is done insanely well, and I just love the transition to the darker/nighttime(?) colors! (The colors of this character are honestly really nice and simple, not incredibly crowded with detail but still pleasing to look at.) The implementation of the character into the backgrounds is also *really* well done, definitely makes it feel like they're truly in the 3D environment, and just to top it all off, the animation quality is just- insane! It just proves that you don't need to have tons of frames to make fluid animation as long as you are aware of your character's movements. Overall, this is incredibly well done and I'm so glad I found it!! Definitely going to be looking back on this when I need inspiration! Awesome job! ^^ (Just checked out their toyhouse page, and Flux seems like an interesting character! I love how their color pallete typically corresponds to the lighting of a scene, very creative!) (Also, my apologies for the potential double comment(?) My comment editing thing lagged and I'm unsure if my comment showed up after that.)

[@HolIowed]

This is really well done! I had a feeling your character had something to do with liminal spaces and a feeling of emptiness before i read the toyhouse page on them. The mood is really nicely set here. I think the shots of empty places that are usually densely populated really sell the vibe!

[@Clearical]

The atmosphere in this is incredible, all the way from the incorporation of the character to the daytime and nighttime photos, to the small slow movements that so nicely fit in with the pitched down version of the song

[@Ciniris_]

I haven't gone to every link but, I'd just like to say how much I appreciate these animations and the details though not necessarily the most realistic! I still really enjoy these animations on your channel and you never fail to amaze me with your wonderful content.

[@nyra8263]

THIS AMV IS LITERALLY EVERYTHING???????? IT'S SO PEACEFUL AND MATCHES SO WELL WITH THE SLOWED DOWN VERSION. ITS SO COOL AND THE IMAGES YOU USED WERE KINDA LIKE. LIMINAL SPACE ? IN THE DARK SECTION also HELLO? THE LAUNDERETTE SIGN GLOWING AND THE SHADING ON THE CHARACTER????? THIS IS INCREDIBLE

[@plushiecore]

this is so well done!! i feel like it’s really hard to capture that liminal space feeling with art but you captured it perfectly. i can’t stop watching this it’s so hypnotic

[@thetwistedsamurai]

This is genuinely one of the most beautiful animation memes I think I have ever seen.

[@kpcroxful]

this is giving me hella Dreamcore vibes and I'm living for it

[@juliamarie7271]

this gives me crazy goosebumps for some reason

[@sodapop3553]

Ohh man, this is so gorgeous!! I love the colors on Flux, and having read about their character I do agree they seem super surreal but comforting- but also having sat and rewatched this several times, I also feel like I'm picking up on an air of...loneliness maybe? Its peaceful being in those liminal spaces, but does Flux ever get company? Is that what they're searching for maybe?

[@30icecream03]

Dreamcore Ursi ✨

[@I_fell_down_a_flight_of_stairs]

I loved the colors and the movements were AMAZING 👏 I genuinely want to animate this good one day

[@TUNDRAHOMBRE]

IT LOOKS SO COOL URSIDAY!

[@wafeltjeeeee]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!! I LOVE THE COLORS SM!!

[@MudshadowYT]

Ive watched it one billion times

[@cloroxart]

The character is so intriguing to me! I love the subtle movements and camera angles, its beautiful

[@ArielleArts]

I really like it when artists use irl images for backgrounds idk why ❤

[@sharkysharkz1238]

this is beautiful !!! I love it, the moving shadows add so much depth and realism to it, the backgrounds and the style fit so well together! You’ve been such a role model for me these past few years, keep it up, we love you!!!!

[@ARandomArtPerson]

Goodness gracious! The lighting here looks so tranquil, I love the part where the colours change as the light and shadows move! The way you incorporated the character into pictures, scenes, landscapes and pull it off so well is mind boggling to me, I’m so inspired!

[@CottonSpotten]

i've watched this close to ten times now (essentially rewatching it every day haha) and i have to say i'm so obsessed with it! love the vibes, the character, how you fit your drawn style in with the realistic backgrounds, the song... i think slowing down the song was a great choice and really fits what you were going for! overall amazing work!!!

[@Malqos]

AHHH THIS IS AWESOME! I love how you used the colors and matched the backgrounds to them! You are a great animator and very talented person! Good job!

[@Eqqnoq]

Absolutely lovely!! The calm mood of it all is perfect and it's so nice to see you do more anthro!! I absolutely love anthro in your style:))

[@elazayth]

What an amazing piece of art!

[@Odyssey2003Mincraft]

Sooo pretty 🤩 Edit: also The lighting on this character is so pretty.

[@hw5064]

This made me feel an emotion I don’t even have the words to describe, but wow. I would love to watch a whole animated music video in this style!

[@pinebarks]

THIS IS SO COOL!!! I LOVE THE VIBE AND THE ANIMATION AHGGG

[@JuniorMajs]

This is so pretty! I love the design and palette of this masterpiece and the song also has this cool vibe. I adore your style so much, great work!

[@vanillaownschocolate7327]

WHOOAAAA i love the aesthetic of this animation!!! i love the character design and how good they look against the photo backgrounds!!! very dreamlike :)

[@randomgooberness]

THIS IS FANTASTIIIIIIC

[@sydworlds]

this is how i imagine this song and you finally put it into imagery

[@donuko]

yeesss!!! this is visually appealing... and vibes are so soothing,, seeing flux just kinda chilling in these areas just.... idk it really enforces the more nostalgic part of liminal spaces rather than the unease part. good stuff!!!

[@BeetlBee]

Beautiful!! The movements are so fluid and smooth and the character is very good looking! Love ur style ♥️♥️

[@smewbirb]

I LOVE THIS AESTHETIC SO MUCH! The way you used actual photos as backgrounds and animated your character into them was such a cool idea! And you made the shading work so well, like the character is actually in the photo!

[@violingineer7862]

Awesome work with color. All of the movement is wonderfully fluid as well.

[@Rulose]

This gave me strange vibes almost like a dream! Truly marvelous job!!

[@inks-project-archive]

I love this, the character is integrated into the photographs so well!!

[@peeblekitty5780]

Beautiful! I love the pacing and movement and lighting and just,, all of it! Such a great vibe that's really difficult to put words to. Do you have a link or file for this version of the song? It's got a very unique and melancholy feel to it and I'm not finding it uploaded elsewhere.

[@NightwingKyra]

I love this meme and then the way you did it! I live how you mesh animation and pictures! Wow.

Ayo I love the whole vibe of this oml 🫣 amazing work 🫶🏻

[@Something800]

Thank you for inspiring me like always!

[@iulia5665]

Yes pls show me colorful anthro cat walking around in liminal places Nah but seriously, the composition in this is so good like- the angles and the amount of detail im every frame, the movements on each scene, this animation is addicting and I've replayed it a few times now The animation is incredibley ryhmic while also looking natural. The movements don't look stalled or rushed, they look perfectly paced even for a slow rythm Gj i always love to see content from you and this one is superb Oh and this is a smaller detail but the color wave and then the charcter getting engulfed in shadows is such a clever ending cause like- It's an animation that's been shown throughout the amv, so the transition to black doesn't feel out of place

[@scarlettleonard8172]

Whoaa! I was caught off guard by the realistic background but oh my god I love them a lot! Not to mention the great animation as well, the lighting, movements and expressions are amazing!

[@YesIAmTheRatCalledLabyrinth]

Omg I feel like stealing the art this is so good-

Your animation style is just so pleasing, it's hard to explain. I love the posing and framing in this one though

[@animatingdinosaur9191]

Reminds me of liminal spaces. Refreshing concept, and such a grounding piece. Love how you mixed photography in your work, really feels like I could step into their world.
