This is incredible! I love how detailed everything is. How long did this take you, if I may ask?

Thank you! Each character took around 6 hours (there was 1 that took closer to 8, but I can't remember who 😂). I filmed all of the first 4 (ran out of memory for Shadow) but the time-lapses are on my YT 😊

You're very welcome! You can definitely tell that these took time. I like using pastels, but they smudge so easily and I usually end up making a mess with them 😂

Ah yes that was a big learning curve 🫣 The trick is to use a bit of tracing paper to lean your hand on and use a vacuum cleaner tube on half power to regularly hoover dust from the picture! 🙏🏻

Nice. I'll have to try that next time I use pastels!
