Dang! Amazingly rendered. Looks great!

PkBlitz responds:

Thank you so much ^^

[MIA 2020]

Nice job on your entry!

The loud, bright colour choices really complement the extremely vibrant music you've chosen.

Keep up the good work!

THANK YOUUUUUU

[falling into fantasy]

Love how you paired your art so well with such a cute upbeat song!

Aesthetically speaking, you nailed it.
Every character you've placed in this falling fantasy scene seems like it belongs, and everything really harmonizes nicely together, and your colour choice just fits.

Great job.
I noticed you still need a scout for the art portal, so I've sent you one of those recommendations too! You might just need to submit another 2 pieces before your work will appear in the public art portal, though. Let me know if it works, and keep up the nice stuff!

thank you so much for the kind words. and thanks for the recommendation! ill let you know if it works and the sort :)

[Universal Expression]

Great work bringing such an energetic musical piece to life with art!
This sounds like it would have been super tricky since it has quite a dramatic crescendo and varies so much in tempo. I can't quite pin down the overall mood since the music is so complex.

The visual abstraction really pairs up nicely with the orchestral dubstep you've chosen, and the rippling sound waves you've drawn in are a nice touch, too. You tackled this challenging piece with confidence.

Lovely entry overall! Nice job!

thank you :D

[Alone]

Ooh nice job portraying such a lonely, distant atmosphere here. I think your choice of limited colours is super effective and harmonizes nicely with the musical piece.

The long precarious staircase to create distance from the viewer to the subject is a nice touch, too. Haunting echo-ing piano keys make me think of haunted mansions, and I love that the bright light of the door frames your subject with super high contrast. Solid piece!

Keep up the great work.

[Two human]

Man, your colour choices are always really solid! Nice job on this MIA entry as well!

Overall, if I choose between the two, I think your blue piece is more effective, but they're both very close and still equally as harmonious with their musical counterparts.

As usual, keep up the good work!

[Kiss me]

Haha, nice job!

I feel like this could be a freeze-frame from one of Zone-sama's music videos, if they had any.

Keep up the good work! This has a charming simplicity about it, and I appreciate the work you've put into it.

[Kaiyo's Revenge]

Oooh awesome job! The looping in this animation syncs really nicely with the base piano chorus.

Overall I really appreciate the level of detail + effort put into building an entire scene around this musical piece. The visual colour scheme + atmosphere comes off as a bit more tense than the music seems (to me) but it still syncs well, and this still stands out quite nicely as a whole.

Keep up the great work!

thank you so much!

[[MIA 2020] Above the Ocean, Beneath the Stars]

Aahhh this is so beautiful!
I really hope the musician sees this piece and you two can collaborate more in the future. You both complement each other well.

This piece really stands out, and I adore everything about what you've chosen to include. The colour scheme is dark, starry and mysterious just like the music, and the sketchy traditional finish you've given the small rotating pedestal is the icing on the cake. There's something about the tiny scale of the house and the rest of the objects floating on the vast ocean that just harmonizes with the cute tiny 8-bit notes in the song, too.

Stellar job.

^u^
Thank you for the compliement!!

I'm haven't talked to Desoloz, but maybe collabing could be the next big push for me as an artist. For the meantime, I really enjoyed animating; I'm definitely going to do some rotoscoping in the future!

Again, thank you!!

[Enjoy a Jolly Good Show!]

Wow, awesome job!

I can tell you really poured in a lot of time and effort into this. Rendering endless details in a modern city-scape can be so time consuming and cumbersome, but it's a necessary sacrifice to really capture the hustle and bustle energy of the Las Vegas Strip. The music really fits nicely with this piece, and I appreciate all of the tiny little details.

Keep up the good work!
