Temporary Bliss - Complete OC MAP

Finally finished! Thanks so much everyone! It's time to tell you all individually what I loved, rather than just say "lol you all did so good".

1&2. You make cats look so badass! I seriously love the style here. Also the way it just spirals down into a chaotic battle is incredibly dramatic and a great way to start the video!

3. What awesome poses and creative backgrounds! I especially love the spikey background and the character in the last image. Is it some kind of mohawk lion wolf? That is just so unique and awesome!

4. I love how different this is! The choice of font, art style, and underlying dark tones of this part make it stand out. This is honestly one of the few more simple art styles that I really like.

5. The entire atmosphere of this part is fantastic, from the moon to the glowing butterflies. The changing facial expressions really show off how this is definitely not the loving relationship it seems to be. Subtlety really works well for this part! Nice wings, too!

6. What’s really neat about this part to me is that it does a wonderful job of conveying that they are actually having a conversation. I can almost hear the argument! That, and the lighting is really well done. Also it’s interesting to see a furry character and a human character interacting.

7. With this part being mine, it’s always hard for me to say something good about my own art, haha. I guess I really like the drama of it, and that the last character shown clearly is left out of the loop.

8. Lots of frames make for an awesome fast-paced part! I totally love the choice of fire for the grayscale backgrounds. That was really creative! Those wings are awesome too! I love all the blood in your part as well.

9. The change of time of day was a nice touch! It does a lot to accentuate the emotions that the characters are feeling. The dread and anxiety is very obvious, which is fantastic!

10. Oh my goodness, another winged dude! Why didn’t I use one of my winged characters for this? I love the character designs and facial expressions of your part. The sort of spotlight effect you did with the lighting was also super neat and helped with the focus.

11. Sorry about the small edit I made, but the eyes had to be red for consistency. Something I really like about this part is the different angles of the character. First it’s facing forward, then to the side, then facing away. It’s a neat little turn and also the dark background was refreshing.

12. I love how violent this is, honestly. The dark theme really fits with the song and that first facial expression makes me want to run and hide, it’s so intense! The way the lyrics write across the screen is cool too! I especially like the blood splatters everywhere.

13, 14, &15. The camera work of this part is top notch! The way the palette was used is quite satisfying, especially with the lavender tears. I also appreciate the shadow behind the lyrics, makes them stand out nicely!

16. I could be wrong, but it really looks like there’s some manipulation going on between the characters, and I love that! The simplicity of this part really shines, with the dark implications of the last shot feeling incredibly eerie.

17. Ooo, my part again. Let’s see. I was pretty proud of the facial expressions and the backgrounds I drew. The way the visuals matched with the lyrics about “I don’t want to fall asleep” worked out nicely.

18. I adore how you used the palette. Making one character dark and one character light is very unique and also can even help explain things to the viewer. The nighttime field background is beautiful, and I’m sorry for the small edit in this part, too. I just didn’t think it was quite right having ONLY black for that amount of time. I hope that’s all right!

19&20. Ohhh my goodness where do I begin? The amount of frames used is outstanding and this part has so much life! The story it tells is sad and you used the palette in such a creative way. I truly respect the detailed backgrounds and characters.

21. It took me way too long to notice the picture frame in the first shot, but I love it now that I see it! The cat’s design is really unique and the detailed, dark city background is complex and well done.


Thank you so much for being wonderful participants, everyone! I love when we put our art together to make something fantastic!
