[Not work.]

Very nice atmosphere. I like how the colors are somewhat muted, yet really pop in an almost watercolor fashion. The loop, from what I can see, is seamless and very well done. I can totally relate to the aesthetic of this image, down to the anchor pillows and succulents. I don't exactly have a nook, but with some furniture adjustments, boom, I've got something close to a nook. I've definitely been cherishing these snowy days off from work as well. Been trying the napping thing, but unfortunately I tend to overdo it by several hours.. Anyway, keep up the good work! This really encompasses a dreamy atmosphere that is tied up neatly by the subtle details such as the shadows from the window and the shimmers of light. It'd definitely be cool to see more of these relaxing moving images.

Zaccura responds:

Haha, yeah the “waking up before it’s basically night time” part of a nap can be elusive sometimes… one of the reasons I only recently dared to re-try it. XD
I’m really glad you like the artwork, and that the loop is good. You’ve no idea how long I spent squinting at the frames to see if the snowflakes matched at the beginning and end lmao.
It was fun to play with animation so I’ll prolly give it a go some more in future illustrations.
Thanks for the comment! :D

Love this. To me, it brings back some good ol' VampireFreaks nostalgia. I love the colors, contrast, and the overall gritty feel.

I 100% want this on a tapestry. This is absolutely stunning. The color scheme is hypnotic.

Shamfoo responds:

Thank you! Maybe one day!

[Cork]

Great sense of depth with the city. Loving the shading and contrast in areas of the foreground, too.

[Frozen River]

Another great piece! I love the sunset colors here, so cozy. Something about a snowy landscape really brings me warmth, oddly enough. The snow is also very smooth, but I feel that the loop cuts short a bit too soon.

[City Lights]

Wow. Super immersive. You're really taking pixel art to another level. The way the light shines across the shape of the earth is mesmerizing. I also really love how you drew the moon here.

[Rainy Night]

No clue what someone below was complaining about with it looking too "eerie" or why that would even begin to take away from the beauty in the first place. Eerie or not, this is yet another magnificent work. I could sit and watch the lights change for hours, probably. I love that the rain isn't too overpowering or pronounced. I can almost hear the raindrops. I think that an opportunity was missed in bringing a subtle ripple to the reflections of light in the foreground, which would have probably added to the atmosphere here. That aside, you definitely have a knack for capturing snapshots from life and executing them beautifully in pixel format.

moertel responds:

Thanks so much for your feedback! For the reflections I was aiming to let them look like wet concrete, not necessarily puddles; which I guess is why adding ripples didn't even occur to me. This piece was a hard one in general because of all those different textures. Still learning in that regard, so suggestions like these are much appreciated.

[Milky Way]

The colors here really pop! I love them! Is that a lighthouse? The small details such as the light hitting the rocks and part of the road, to the shooting stars, really put this piece up above and beyond. Amazing work.

moertel responds:

It is a lighthouse, indeed. :D It always makes me happy whenever someone notices all the little details.

[Autumn Sun]

I think that this is definitely my favorite of your pieces so far. This one is absolutely stunning. It's very captivating and immersive. Sunsets have always been difficult for me, but you've captures it just about perfectly here, with just the right balance of blue. My soul is at ease as I stare into the heavenly rays of light that shine between the trees, accentuated with the falling leaves around them. The traffic in the background is such a nice touch, and I love how everything loops so cleanly. Amazing.

[Northern Lights Over Tromsø]

Absolutely stunning. The colors, the contrast, the reflection of the lights against the water. Everything is so wonderful.
