you'll understand when it's your turn. looking at it after eight months of work on it, all you see are the flaws. but it's been a while and I can look back on it fondly now.

Thanks! I animated everything on paper, scanned it all, coloured it in photoshop, and composited everything in afterfx.
It's nice of you that you think it's perfect, since I can only see the flaws having worked on it for eight months. But that's a good thing, because if I thought it was perfect I'd never try to improve.

Very cute.

LOL, devART film has been around for quite some time now! you need to apply for it though, or have an invite extended to you. D: though even before that, it was still possible to upload videos, though it was a lot more inconvenient since they needed to be really small and such. devART film makes things a lot easier.
thank you!

I just watched this with you next to me!
And I told you it was good TO YOUR FACE!

This has been sitting in my deviations for a while because the sound on my computer broke so I refused to comment until I had experienced the animation as it should be, with sound! Well, I have now done so and it made the story all the better of course.
The story, characters, animation, color choices, music, font, and the list goes on, are just absolutely superb. I honestly felt as if it was a cartoon short that would be aired between full feature cartoons on t.v. or perhaps before a full length movie.
After all, it is quite apparent that not only are you good at what you do but that you have a passion for it; each character is so easy to fall in love with. I may be partial to the pangolin but they are all wonderful!
After watching it a second and then a third time, I also noticed that there are small details that you miss if you do not pay attention which makes the experience between these four animals all the more special.
You have truly created something wonderful here and I am confident that you will catch the attention of important people later in life that will help you obtain your goals.
Lots of love and support! <3

<33333!! thank you so much Miti for taking the time to write all of that out. I'm so happy that you like it and the characters and everything! and also that you respected it enough to hold off on commenting until you'd seen it with the music, my cousin imo did an excellent job on that.
your support is much appreciated, as always. I just sent you a letter today.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're quite welcome but I truly believe that your work, or really any work deserves to be experienced as it was intended to be! I didn't know it was your cousin who did the music but it was beautiful so talent must run in your family. 
I got your letter and I absolutely loved it, especially the cute sketches you added to it!
