OMG?!! You made another animation & art with music video for my character Kira Evelyn?! I LOVE IT!! Thank you so much for everything! You made my day!! Thank you!

I love how you put effort on animation & art with music video for my character Kira!

I love the animation you have done here. It's very smoothly animation! I love how you give Kira with the movements of animation, with her blinking eyes, her floating clothes and how you give animation for her with the giant brush pen movement. Kira is very beautiful! She's very cute and gorgeous!

I love the blue shining moon with the sky full of stars of night background. I love the japanese temple house with full of warm and cozy with orange lights and the sakura pink blossom tree. It gives a very contrast with orange and blue colors palette! I love how golden koi fishes appears by swimming and floating in the background.

I love the idea how you draw the giant scrolls as a ocean waves pattern where fishes swimming and floating by! It's like Kira is creating a light pathway to her own home in the darkness. It's like she was the lost souls who needs a shelter to follow the right path and Kira is the last guardian! But she's never truly alone! She finds her own goal with help of her friends and family. Without them she wouldn't be here!

It gives something i would like to see that happend in her world with her magical art illusion of painter! Like how she able to paints her own world with her magical pen brush, Like how she gives life of art!

I love the music video with Kira's song! I love how you include the song 'Shelter' (c) Porter Robinson & Madeon. It's one of my favorite song! And i love you added the text on video;

"And it's a long way forward, so trust in me

I'll give them shelter, like you've done for me

And I know I'm not alone, you'll be watching over us

Until you're gone."

Amazing well done! Beautiful job! You're amazing artist! Thank you!

It's very nice but the background was not so well drawn and looked so blurry.

It is something i would love to do myself by hugging my dog Maxi I love the flower behind Kira which looks like a "Forget me not" flowers. Love the glowy butterfly!

I love the idea how beautiful glowy moon looks like a waterfalls that moon is making a many rivers for the world! And it looks its breaking the dark night of sky or splitting the world in half apart! Something i would like to see that happend in her world with her magical art illusion of painter! Like how she able to paints the moon in the sky with her magical light brush, Like how she gives life of art!

Kira is very beautiful! Love how you changed her eyes into cyan and amber colors! Love the Kira's expression being calm and happy! The rendering of her hair and clothes is amazing! The yellow umbrella gives a contrast against the blue background of waters with red flower petals! I saw a little of city background with shadows! Very pretty!

Too simple but looks very good and has good details but would like to see more in the background at least than just water

And love the idea how she paints on the water with her giant brush pen! It's like she gives art to life! Very beautiful!

It's very beautiful! Love the beautiful background! I love the pretty blossom trees with laterns, the pretty green nature of grassfield, the lotus flowers with blue, teal water. It gives a very relaxed feelings!

Kira is beautiful! I love how Kira sitting close to near shiny cold waters with pretty flowers and how she is looking at the blossom trees with red warm laterns. Where the lights shrine through the blossom trees and shine at Kira, it gives sense of emotional how she wondering through her life, about how she is missing the good life.

I love the idea of red laterns, since reminds me a floating laterns where i lighted the laterns where i celebrated on New Year with my family. I love the water aesthetic, since it reminds me where i standing or sitting near on the water on the beach/lake in the summer.

Love the contrast the color of red between green, blue and white. It gives a harmony pretty colours!

The painting looks beautiful, with brush texture and details, it's gives emotional feelings of soft painting and gives a beautiful realism scenary! A sweet dream and it's almost like being there! Thank you!
