Summer Vibes ☀️ at the River - Lofi

[@jonathancarroll979]

Not only are your mixes always great, but one thing I've really come to appreciate recently is the use of real human-created art. So many music channels are using AI art for everything, and it just feels like a soulless washout is so many places. It's great to be able to come to your videos and not only enjoy some great music, but also an engaging and interesting artistic story told through some beautiful animations and drawings.

[@YormanGina]

And I find that it honors the truly fantastical, yet human element that comes with such settings as well. Seeing so much fantasy ai art, it's like looking into how a lot of fantasy nowadays has gone corporate and lost so much of the creativity and glow that made it great in the first place.

[@noxeria8945]

Exactly what i was thinking. Was looking for bckground music but can't find any video with REAL art..

[@KevvoLightswift]

I hate AI art for this reason. Human crafted art will ALWAYS be superior. And robots will never be able to reproduce it.

[@rosswade3602]

Couldn't agree more. We really need to support actual, real life artists these days.

[@Fapujo]

@@noxeria8945 a channel named Nobody uses photography or classical art for his videos. (I also plan to make fantasy mix with public domain art in the future)

[@tenaciousorb5553]

The hills and mountains across the water gives me big Oblivion energy. Will never forget exiting the Imperial sewers and looking out onto the countryside.

[@BalmoraBlade]

and the woods on coast give Witcher 3 energy. best of both worlds!

[@eemurphy7]

SUCH a classic moment! Going from the claustrophobic sewers where you're very much on rails, to this huge wide open space where you can go anywhere was so awesome. Definitely one of my favorite gaming memories as well.

[@SigandGibbs]

@@eemurphy7 All the actual art is making me think of the Middle Eastern/exotic vibes of Morrowind. I WISH Oblivion was as interesting as the art in this channel

[@claytime6513]

Indeed, the ambiance here is unparalleled. I aim to create a similar vibe with the lofi videos on my channel. I’d be grateful if you could take a look and let me know your impressions!

[@ariochiv]

I like that the setting is bronze age... a nice departure from the typical late medieval fantasy setting.

[@drewbryk]

I like how long she's been in this town. Feels like a little rest from the adventure or maybe a temporary home base

[@danmendez1021]

You supporting real artists and not AI tells me everything about you. Subbed immediately

[@BrettWarniers]

NO Omg🥺😭😭😭 I burst into tears when I saw the video title and thumbnail. My cat is very sick, he's been fighting with FIV for months, and tomorrow, is the day he's scheduled to pass into the spirit realm. My partner and I have been planning for a few days to take my cat, Beau, to the river, TODAY. So he can hear running water, feel sunshine, see birbs and fish... Blue Turtle is such a huge inspiration to my own art, my own videos. I am astonished that this is the video that is posted today... I'm crying. I'm devastated. I am so so so grateful for this musical medicine, these artworks, and this soundtrack to this awful, sacred time in my life ❤️❤️❤️❤️🥺🥺🥺🙏💔❤️‍🩹🕯🕯🕯😻🐯🐈 thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️⛰️💦⛰️

[@monkeibusiness]

Im just replying so you can think of beautiful memories with your cat. Hope you are okay.

[@CruzaComplex]

Thank you for these. The art is beautiful and I love seeing the serenity in my subscriptions.

[@yungmythologist]

TURTLE 👏 NEVER 👏 MISSES👏

[@Blueturtle79]

SANCTUARY

[@lucciadelmoira1487]

I live for the developments in this universe

[@lucciadelmoira1487]

so glad the tower and town are back!

[@Blueturtle79]

I look for the Mud elemental Dorian somehow always hides somewhere in his video XD

[@chillimusicrecords]

Thank you so much for sharing this

[@e.l.2734]

Some of Turtle's landscapes may look more oriental, but they always vaguely remind me of Switzerland, which is a dear country to me.

[@chrisvandergriff504]

This mix slaps. I mean, Turtle mixes always slap, but this one like... SLAPS, man.

[@VtotheKelley]

I just want to remark on how much I appreciate, not only the great music, but the original artwork/animation of all these videos. I keep seeing lofi channels resorting to AI generated art, which makes it almost impossible for me to enjoy the experience (since I'm an illustrator by trade). Blue Turtle's videos are always immersive and beautiful, and I genuinely hope Ithyä's journey becomes a graphic novel one day.

[@arnovanboxem2519]

damn a graphic novel with a curated playlist would be awesome

[@VtotheKelley]

@@arnovanboxem2519 ohhh, that would be so RAD

[@tenshi7366]

If you look at their olds videos, somes are titled with "how to make a graphic novel" or something, and the miniature is the same character, so you may be in luck. I didn't check it out, I'm here for the music, but I higly recommend you give them a watch! 💙

[@zaksaturday]

Для меня это лучшее лето за последние несколько лет. Много чего переосмыслил, поменял, исправил. Теперь дорога лежит только к лучшему. Спасибо за возможность проводить лето достойно.

[@hopeforchrist7772]

Thank you so much for creating a video by the water and adding water noises.

[@phoenixastra4429]

Always a good day to start with blue turtle

[@ericward8459]

Dear Mother How did the Spring Planting go? Is Da still in bed after that fever? It's been a while since I've heard anything back from, home. Just know that I hope everything is going alright and that I miss you all. Summer has come at last. The Citadel is empty for the time being, since a lot of the students tend to head home or visit other places during the summer. My mentor has asked me to stay for the time being to help him with is research, which I don't mind at all. We are very close to uncovering a new spell that hasn't been seen in an age and a half! I'll tell you all about it in another letter, it will require a lot of more context. On the nonmagical side of my life here, things have been quiet for the most part. I learned about this beautiful lake not far from the city walls. I've taken to hiking around there on occasion when I'm not needed at the Citadel. The waters are so cool and clear that they remind me of the lake back home, save for the scent of the sage and wildflower meadows up the mountains that drift down with the winds. When the sun is just right... I wish you could see it. Anyway, give my best to Da and Henry, and Lilly, too. Love, Lyra

[@Vinemaple]

I've been cooking on a rainy post-summer day, and this is still perfect! And those reflections! I very nearly went mad trying to paint something like that in high school, so big respect to you, Blue Turtle!

[@Nicole-gj9og]

Toujours un précieux moment de se plonger dans l’Univers de Blue Turtle ! 👏👏 Blue Turtle apporte de la sérénité et de si belles vibrations ! 💕 Merci pour l’art lumineux de Blue Turtle 💕 J’Adore 💕

[@youremakingprogress144]

Although she's dedicated to her studies, Ithya also takes the time to appreciate nature and have a quiet moment to herself when she can. I like that about her.

[@knighthood91]

This is my go-to channel when I need to relax. Thank you for all the amazing music and videos!

[@aljonserna5598]

damn summer vibes... in the Philippines we're already in Christmas season during "ber" months which instead of snow we get almost non stop rain--rather than snow piling up, we get free swimming pools lol. Either way due to the rain, it makes people lonely and this is just a nice pair to the current atmosphere🤙

[@dandanbigelow385]

I am so happy for you. I still remember the first video I watched and the world it took me into. Thank you for everything you do!

[@michaeldimario4357]

IDK what I can add that others here haven't already posted! Incomparably incredible work, as always - so inspiring, so ethereal. Thank you for continuing to share Ithyä’s Journey with us!

[@ktthegr81]

I was so excited that a new episode came out :)

[@VaelVictus]

Winning that thumbnail game.

[@chriscooper654]

Lovely. Took me back to lazy days I've spent by rivers and beaches with friends.

[@AegixDrakan]

I didn't see the notification for this upcoming one! :D What a lovely surprise! Thank you, Blue Turtle!

[@ShawnMurphyMusic]

It would be so nice to live in a city next to such a beautiful river with mountains on the other side

[@DragonAssassinCreed]

I started this in the morning just now, and I am already stunned, the feeling hit me like "Daaaammmn that's good!"

[@brynravesdale]

Yet another great excuse to cill out for blue turtle❤

[@Swamp_Thing_4487]

Perfect for my new DnD story writing

[@timedraven117]

I always love the little story each of these mixes tells. Really adds something to it all that transcends just the music.

[@Tunality]

I'm so glad I found this creator! Thank you for the beautiful art and animations and for the beautiful music compilations that go with them!~

[@Rabenschwinge07]

I'm really looking forward for your first "story" - release... Love your work!

[@Jings_tone]

really healling

[@קוראי]

Bless you. You god damn hard working wonderful artist. Bless you.

[@maxwatrous6932]

Gorgeous!

[@m31r31]

Omg I am obsessed

[@KitDivine]

They need to give you a Netflix show already Blue Turtle!!

[@spiinniing]

I swear, when I write my thesis Blue Turtle is gonna be in the thank you section for how much I have relied on this music to focus during my studies. 😂💙🐢

[@petruz00732]

Awesome visuals and really relaxing music, thanks!!!

[@Okkusen]

relaxing as always!!!

[@I_am_a_human_not_a_commodity]

This was really nice after so much chaos and misery. Thanks.

[@siljatanner1318]

This is great music to have on while I read to my children. Thank you.

[@rilohoneu6030]

I hope you know these are so special to me! theyre so inspiring and keep me motivated

[@sleepysnowpoff]

The thumbnail almost made me cry (in a good way). The way they were standing in the water, bare chested, I want that. I want it soo bad, my top surgery is nov 15th and I can't wait to swim after

[@malakai_adam]

I love this channel

[@vazak11]

Wonderful, I love the music and the city and setting so much.

[@julienm.5020]

Lofi will save the world

[@AkiMoonlight]

I just discovered your channel. It's so refreshing when only AI-generated lofi pop on my recommandations these days. I especially LOVE your artworks, the style is great and really adds something!!

[@madison60542]

I haven't commented much on all your videos, but I really appreciate these. Your art style is so beautiful and relaxing. I love writing to them.

[@courtneycalvert185]

“Babe, Blue Turtle just posted”

[@sky_comet]

someone needs to make these videos into animated desktop backgrounds, id use nothing but them

[@victordelfin3073]

If you have wallpaper engine you can use the URL of the video to your background :D

[@novamangnus5796]

Definitely one of my favorite videos.❤😊

[@dinaeliasibrahim]

This is insane? Im new to your channel and I can already say that this is the best one for studying and enjoying alone time! Love this.

[@berdyaev.youtube]

Супер, люблю твои работы, всегда радуют.

[@SuperTetsill]

impeccable vibes

[@ComusCat]

This is so peaceful 💖

[@milestheworldx]

Love the vibes 🌞 Great work!

[@volkayne9758]

Toujours un plaisir à regarder et à écouter

[@andrewgoorhuis]

Returning to this in the heat of 2024 summer. :)

[@Frintenzza]

The art is just wonderful!! 🥰🥰

[@wowdude5056]

I always come to your videos for the backgrounds, awesome sauce stuff

[@richardscutter7915]

Amazing video, Lovely vibe. Thank You Blue Turtle 😄 ❤

[@PineappleAdrift]

Excellent as always! I love working to your videos.

[@Bunkus41]

Thank you. I've been stressing out and losing my mind trying to work on some big school work with a tight deadline, and I really appreciate the soothing vibe from your art and collection of music. Really appreciate it. :)

[@Willlustrates]

Love your videos, as always!

[@Den7205]

love this illustrated style which reminds me of another movie “scavengers reign” ❤

[@andrewreynolds4949]

Excellent! I was just coming to listen to one of these

[@beauwalker2767]

This is so magical, Hypes me up to want to create something of my own like this in 3D. Thank you for sharing with us. Fantastic work

[@thatoddchristiangirl]

I love these videos!

[@duseylicious]

Loving the vibes! I like all the epic ones, and the chill piano and guitar ones, but the very first is still one of my favorites, which had bit more of a low-fi hip hop style, with a stronger beat and some percussive elements. I love that this one has a bit of beat throughout. Definitely will be one of my go-to’s while working! ❤

[@roboolet]

My favourite of your uploads used to be the first rainy day piano, but i think this is my new fave 😊

[@twelvewindows6434]

always beautiful and such a vibe, thank u :)

[@FrédéricRoy-x1n]

Vraiment géniale comme musique et belle illustration! :)

[@lucaspancotto2415]

This is beautiful!

[@AngelsLullabies]

I love this ❤ this is so beautiful my everyone that hear this be in their own world with no worries and love them self.. Enjoy this night with peace and love 🙏💐❤🎶

[@Zypher312]

Your D&D world must be vibrant as hell ;) Always love your mixes. Thanks!

[@thomasaughey9651]

Hell yeah! I love these!

[@sarahgrossman4791]

Love this- I am so excited for fall vibes video next (hoping!!)- Thank you!

[@tpucky180]

I love Blue Turtle! I've been listening for around 2 years now. I say this not to be rude but to share feedback. I definitely enjoy the adventure music in the other playlists more than this one. I'm definitely not a big Lofi person.

[@hellojewell]

I

[@gustyflores]

Very nice pictures

[@UXHeWrote]

I love these. Keep up the good work! 🥰

[@lofikeepyousafe]

Love from a Vaush and OSC fan!

[@Sdulcamara]

Great animation, absolutely dope mix.

[@alexandreramalho9637]

I AM A BIG FAN !!

[@TeknuAddict]

7:52 I stepped outside and was confused cause its 1am in the middle of winter here and I was like, "Wait.What are those birds doing up at this hour?" I should probably go to bed...

[@leahheim1923]

Man your stuff is always so good!

[@jeditalez]

Your Lofi is my favorite!

[@yayariru]

thankyou

[@TheJapaneseTown-jt6fy]

beautiful

[@Motavian]

This reminds me of those days where I was an underemployed 20 something killing a summer day by the river with a book. I had nothing, but I was pretty content, enjoy your 20's folks!

[@TaranPerry]

These are excellent

[@colingallagher1648]

thanks

[@carsonlove531]

Our Hero sets down their pack alongside the riverbank, and slowly exhales while taking rest and gazing into the water's edge. It has been many long months on the move with precious few days spent relaxing and finding full inner calm. Today will be different, however. Today marks the first day of many that our Hero has found an extended reprieve from adventuring through weaving, at times treacherous, countrysides. This peaceful midsummer's day sees our Hero making a difficult, yet necessary decision. Their questing complete - at least for now - they have embarked on a new, almost unfamiliar challenge: a holiday. Choosing just to "be", they have found a peaceful city located in a green valley, with sprawling forests all around, lying at the base of a mountain. The river feeds into a sprawling lake surrounding the city and its environs in a cool and loving embrace. Our Hero can feel the warm sunlight combining with a cool breeze whisking off the surface of the water and encircling each of their limbs as every muscle begins to relax and a warm glow softens their rigid bones. There is no saying how long this holiday will last. It will last as long as it feels prudent to enjoy it; the next quest will come when it does. Until then, our Hero answers a different kind of call: the river's call.

[@fay.e11]

amazing writing :)
