HI THANKS FOR ALL THE ATTENTION ON THIS!! it means so much that you guys like it!! ill try to reply to all of ur comments but i really really appreciate every single one

[@combobreaker2947]

I was wondering what the P in PMV was standing for but i guse pmv is more commonly know as p*rn not Picture . its hard for the art community to change whats already established but you could call it IMV for Image musik video if you whant to avoid thes comments.

[@the1st572]

This is freaking awesome!

LOVE how the markings on his face makes it look like he’s breathing bubbles

[@elken8685]

OMG THAT WASNT EVEN ON PURPOSE... THANK U FOR POINTING IT OUT I FEEL LIKE MY FJORD DESIGN IS EXTRA COOL NOW HEHE

[@XpVersusVista]

@@elken8685 fyi, pmv is generally a term used for "porn music video" lol, very odd choice to use that acronym for what is presumably "picture music video".

[@elken8685]

@@XpVersusVista pmv has been used for years for the term picture music video. ive addressed this multiple times . not an odd choice its what they're popularly called in the art community and have been called for a while. they share the same acronym unfortunately but i dont feel pressured enough to change the title

[@_telling_tales_]

Oh God I have no words to describe how much I love this The moment Fjord stabs himself with the sword is so cool and dramatic Also your choice to make Fjord with a pierced ear tells me you have in fact a big smart brain

[@elken8685]

THANK YOU WEH!!!! IT MEANS A LOT!! also fjord with a gay little earring is incredibly important

[@kungbjorn6536]

@@elken8685 May I ask why you chose to give him an earing? Its an interesting design choice especially for a sailor like him.

[@elken8685]

@@kungbjorn6536 mostly because i like how it looks haha!! buut also because pirates commonly wore earrings :] from what i know it's because of superstitious reasons ... !! i know fjord isnt a pirate but i still thought it fit!

[@kungbjorn6536]

@@elken8685 I actually quite like it as well. There was a little thing that sailors did where they would wear one nice piece of jewelry (earring, ring, necklace) that could pay for their coffin if they died at sea.

UM. WHO KNEW I NEEDED FJORD WITH EARRINGS? This was so awesome. I love your style, and how you style him. I literally gasped when he popped up at 0:30. I love the stance and the movement starting at 0:44. I love how you used the tyopgraphy. THE WHOLE BIT AT 0:50! His little tusks growing!! 1:08-1:22 is just. Chef's kiss. His cute belly at 1:48! I loved seeing the whole Mighty Nein in your style! And final Fjord at 2:11 is just so handsome! This was so brilliant. I can't wait to see what other videos you have lined up! Subscribed!

Everything is balanced and goes so well together. Tells such a great story. I read that this was the bane of your existence so you probably don't want to jump in any time soon, but are you thinking about doing another later on? I loved this long one, but shorter ones would be cool also and less time consuming. Thanks and Good luck ~~~
