Speedpaint: [Popular]

[@chivi-]

An artist who makes cartoony and realistic art styles meet and look absolutely gorgeous. Also, Wicked is pretty great.

[@chrysalismacosmist165]

I love how flamboyant you drew the cheerful blond. The movement of her skirt and her hair is stunning, and my god, the one with the gorgeous green skin is beautiful!

[@xXtwiIightprincessXx]

Omg please watch wicked 😩

[@KimonoSuki]

They're characters from the musical Wicked

[@chrysalismacosmist165]

Navi Oh! Is that what's it's from? I'll take a look! Thank you!

[@butterflytaster5553]

See, Miss Elphaba? Told you you were beautiful.

[@fulcrum7493]

THEYRE SO HOT AND GORGEOUS MSMSM

[@crazybombtune1807]

Is your art out of this world? Because it _defies gravity_

[@cheesemochii651]

OH MY GOD

[@purpelephant947]

I- 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@misskalea631]

[@iridesticide7456]

I dont get it

[@FishWithOneEye]

@@iridesticide7456 Due to the fact that the musical this art is based off has a song named “Defying Gravity”, the commenter decided to compliment the artist’s work and make a joke about the song from the musical in the form of a comment and if you were “out of this world”/in space then you would be *defying gravity* which is the name of the song. Sorry if I went into too much detail, I love to write and tend to get carried away.

[@jadedbeyond]

You seen to be very comfortable in your art style, payed off dramatically.

[@KiwiByrd]

thanks so much!!

[@MonsterMaker]

Your rendering is superb! And I just love the emotion and expressions in this piece

[@kylechong8168]

OMG I ALMOST HAD A HEARTATTACK WHEN I SAW THE THUMBNAIL!! I LOVE WICKED SO MUCH!!! and you art is amazing as usual :)

[@renboiii9124]

Pixel Maniac same

[@bloomdoom13]

I know right!!! I clicked so fast!

[@kakao-katze]

Wicked was an amazing musical! You really felt like you were watching a musical, not a low budget movie! (Unlike some of the newer stuff...) But I think the English version I saw in London was the best, except for the actress of Alphaba. No one can top the power in her voice. Adele better watch out!

[@mayathelameone734]

Pixel Maniac same👌❤

[@GenreChowderStudios]

That itty bitty bit of green reflecting off of the pink lady is just 👌

[@wicked2429]

GenreChowderStudios why does noone know wicked aaaa

[@susiefan5597]

Saw this in my recommended and although I don’t usually check out speedpainters I decided to look at this one anyway. You’re really good! So sub earned from me.

[@beverlyfrazier7220]

The necklace on her is AMAZING! Great work!

[@butterflytaster5553]

Wicked was my very first musical-- I found it... what? Two years ago? Really says something that I can still mentally sing the lyrics to Popular as you went along drawing my favourite _(totally_ platonic) witch duo-- fantastically, if I might add!

[@SideshowPearl]

i love this!! (also fsr glinda here reminds me of your oc ophelia's mom, but like in a less scary way)

[@KiwiByrd]

OMG im so glad someone pointed that out lmao its all i could think about when i was drawing it kristen chenoweth was one of the inspirations for ophelias mom !!

[@vansaeed6602]

Oof I absolutely love the creativity in each video 💕💕

[@vansaeed6602]

AHHHH ONE OF THE MOST INSPIRATIONAL PEOPLE I KNOW LIKED MY COMMENT 😁😁😁 thank youuu!!

[@alextheduck8449]

This is gay and good. Thank you lord

[@deer1833]

I'm so excited you uploaded wtf. (also that skirt was drawn so nicely im gonna cry)

[@KiwiByrd]

thank you ! :]

[@deer1833]

[@twizzpaw900]

Smooth and solid.

[@waffledressing3078]

Im suprised you dont have more subscribers! This piece is simply stunning. Everything is put together s perfectly, it seems like they could just move from their poses any minute.

[@Cinnavee]

this is so good!! love ur style and colouring so much

[@kristenmarie3828]

N love how the lighting makes it look like there is a stage light shining on them. Makes me feel like I'm watching the show! I adore Wicked

[@jennywithaglock3916]

guess who got their first job, and a debit card eheheh guess who's also gonna end up with a commission by Kiwi Byrd? :DDD

[@y6selyn146]

Luca Perugini luCky-

[@333Vampirewillrule33]

this style fits so well with the characters I kinda wish the musical to be an animated short

[@juskejesk2670]

I’ve never seen wicked but that doesn’t take away from how much I love this

[@spicyreyes]

speedpaints are wild because i can see the entire process of someone drawing a beautiful piece and still have no clue how they managed something that amazing

[@lilligramann1849]

This. Is. Amazing. The expressions, the postures, the colors, everything about this is just flawless. I love it.

[@raskullsshako]

Glenda’s skirt is amazing!

[@elliotk.8964]

its really interesting how this piece turned out relatively similar in style to your other paintings but it was made so much differently! i love this sm

[@youvebeenpoisoned5018]

I love how expressive their faces are, it’s awesome! I also love how you drew their hair, it’s so dynamic!

[@swearonmysoul3755]

When the extroverted friend is on a sugar high constantly But seriously, this is gorgeous!! I really love the shading and highlights

[@SeaSparklesLP]

I love how different the style of this piece is than not just your older ones but also the recent ones like the eye titled "glass". I think it's really interesting how smooth the hair looks compared to the detail of the hands and arms.

[@eynderm2551]

Um, yes. I love Wicked so much. I’ve seen it over 5 times, but I’ve always been with my mom. Actually, that might be a plus. My first, most recent, and only musical I have ever seen. Love it.

[@azurehai6443]

This is honestly breathtaking, it feels real but the cartoon style of course takes it away but in a fantastic way. The amazing anatomy and lighting and shading that complements every unique feature of both character. You’ve earned a subscriber ^^

[@_OneGrape]

I watched this two years ago and I'm so happy this was recommended again. Art is still beautiful ❤️

[@mayathelameone734]

Aww this is so cute i just love how you did the hair and skirt it makes it feel more alive!❤

[@CrowLady0_0]

Wicked means... a lot to me. and you took me back there, back when i first saw the show and discovered my love for theatre and my further appreciation of all of the arts. thank you for that, this is so beautiful.

[@jocelyn8917]

i absolutely adore your style???? like, its cartoony but also so realistic like theyre physical dolls you could pick up out of the screen. i love it sm

[@Kokose]

Your style and skills improved a lot over all these years you're making speedpaints for us. Wish u very best, keep improving, you're amazing!

[@hollowbirdbones2960]

[@KiwiByrd]

[@SeymourDisapproves]

Kiwi Byrd Yaaaaaaas

[@peachchi3367]

I love how you draw glinda she's so bubbly elpha's just like "what?" Also popular and what is this feeling are my favorite songs of wicked

[@RatMaster01]

Holy shit I gasped so loud ! It’s been years since I have seen some good old fashion wicked fan art

[@namespara6669]

You're probably one of the only speedpaints aside from wlop that i watch from start to finish

[@ayeletdrago]

[@anemonerose25]

This looks so lively ! And no worries about the inactivity if its to come back to beautiful paintings like this, its worth the wait ! Thank you for your work ! 💟

[@cib9822]

Funniest thing Is I was actually listening to “defying gravity” and get a notification for this video 😂👏

[@PerderpleDragon]

Your shading is really amazing, especially the hands and arms. And their faces really are full of emotion. You really inspire me and my own art.

[@user-km9bx3gf3z]

I absolutely love your Elphaba. She's exactly how I imagined her.

[@GUIZZARD]

KIWI!! You're into musicals? That's such a surprise! 💕 [Beautiful artwork as always(✿´‿`) ]

[@smokylynx2788]

This takes me back to when I saw the musical. I love the style of it!

[@cicreate5761]

I don't understand how you make the skin and clothes look to realistic!!! 😲 amazing piece!!! 💚

[@faerykaye]

I'm having so many emotions looking at this because I would sing this song with my mom or my aunt as a young child. This is so beautifully drawn :)

[@firstlast2264]

Haven't listened to wicked in years but still heard the lyrics in my head lmao. This is absolutely adorable.

[@bonkers2394]

This is amazing, such good expression, colours, pose, lighting and the characters personalities really shine through!!!!! Amazing as always!!!!!
