Eh, it’s technically well done but I find painting closeups of visually stunning, popular animals so overdone. It lacks creativity or originality. I feel like I see this at every art fair

Also going very naturalistic for the animals. So they don't actually end up using the abstract background they set up. It really detracts from the first part of the process for me and makes me feel like it was only done so people could have the exact reaction they're having right now "oh it looked shit before pretty animals"

While I'm not a lover of abstract art or anything, it looked way more visually interesting before naturalistic animals were slapped onto it

Also, the animal renderings are only pretty good (as far as accuracy and technique). Some are better than others.

The videos are fun, but I can get art of this quality at the thrift store any time I want.
