Omg. This is so cool. It just reminds me of how every decision I made in life was the exact opposite of what my heart wanted. But in the end, everything was worth it because it brought me to where I'm today.

This actually made me tear up.. seeing her hug all of her selves and embracing those sides of her made me feel warm inside. Thank you for this!

I like the multicolored outline around the witch to show that her ghosts have merged with her once more. A great detail. Just 1 day left until this app hits the App Store...

Beautiful. She understands and loves all the pieces of her self (even the parts that sometimes just want to sleep in, chill on the couch and do nothing, or put off neverending responsibilities). Reminds me of the videogame Celeste (in the best way possible).

This animation, for some reason, is giving me Steven universe vibes. This is really well done!

This was so well Animated!

Wooow, I've been struggling with depression, ADHD, heavy procastination etc, and seeing her embracing those sides of her personality and "learning" to control them, going out and see other people who are also seeking that kind of magic, like going to teraphy and move foward or in the process of learning about themselves, makes me feel less lonely and very warm, this is BEAUTIFUL

"You can only move forward when you accept yourself" Hard to achieve, but it's possible to open that door. Lovely animation.

I like how when she does something that doesn't match what she wants to do, she splits into different ghosts, and only by gathering up her ghosts is she allowed to leave her house. I like to think that every witch in that world, and even regular people in real life, have to go through this sometimes. It's nice.

I think you should know this genuinely made me cry. It wasn’t full on sobbing, just more of a gentle laugh accompanied by tears. Maybe it was the colors, the beautiful instrumentals and soft humming, or the message behind it all, but this was so beautiful and I’m genuinely at a loss right now. I think this short animation captures so much in a short amount of time, and does so expertly. I don’t know if you’ll ever see this, but thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful piece with us. I’m startled by how much it affected me, but in the best kind of way, and I wanted you to know that.

Not a single second wasted, just pure storytelling. Not only is it beautifully animated, it’s so heartfelt and honest in such a short amount of time. Truly a work of art :’)

The amount of goosebumps I got from this 1 minute film is insane. From the music to the animation and art it’s just so UGH. 10/10 would recommend this masterpiece,

Incredible short! Great message as well. I loved how alive the light was throughout the entire story. Impressive work

short, but it has a great message. That message being that despite your short comings, no matter how lazy you are, those are parts of you that make who you are and you should love yourself because of them. Dont think of them as bad parts of yourself. (hope I'm not getting the message wrong lol)

What a beautiful and impactful story! I really connected with this story considering I started practicing witch craft to help with my mental health. All what was shown in this short I feel I had experienced over time myself. Such a beautiful story and beautiful art style. Thank you and everyone who contributed for taking the time to create and share this short.

Love it. This even reminds me of the amazing Satoshi Kon’s Ohayo.

This fills me with so much warmth. The music and sound design of her separating and then merging was just so perfectly tuned, it gave me goosebumps

THIS IS SO GOOD!!!! the contrast of colors from inside to outside and the lighting is insane!!!

Me encanta 🥰

awww this was such a lovely animation with such a feel good vibe. REALLY LOVE THIS. cant wait to try out the procreate dreams!!!

when you keep accidentally losing your soul in all seriousness this was so so beautiful i cant even put it into the words. It was just so smooth and everything flowed just right :)

This has singlehandedly convinced me to buy procreate dreams and make an attempt at serious animation

dang that really captures the feeling of struggling with depression and managing to push through a day after a bad slump of not being able to get yourself to do anything for a few days/weeks

I love these visuals, and I love the little boiling animations on the light coming in through the door - gorgeous work like this has me SO excited to see how procreate dreams will take the indie scene by storm. Amazing work!!!!!

I accidently synced it withh with "Hate me" by Eurielle, it added a sad ethereal note to the over all animation. The animation is really beautiful!

I translated that to leaving the bad habits behind, there is time enough for them later. I struggle with those bad habits too, and feeling guilty because of them. It's easy to just sit, but it's better to just get up. Nice video reminder.

Wow this looks amazing 🤩🤩🤩

It can be hard to get yourself up and moving in the morning. You just gotta give yourself a little love and assurance.

Congratulations to you and your team on accomplishing this beautiful short for Procreate. Amazing, thought-provoking, encouraging and inspiring. I loved it. Love the background, the color and you did an amazing job as a director, and with your animation Michael, inspired me! 🙌

I want to see that as a movie it is so well done and you can see the amount of thought put into it

From start to finish, this animation was perfect. As someone who has and still deals with depression and other mental health issues, I feel so represented by this work. It highlights small accomplishments like getting out of bed or watering plants as significant feats. Even if it's something as simple as getting off your phone, it's still a step towards getting better. The way she acknowledges that she is not perfect by embracing her flaws at the end brought me to tears. Absolutely excellent work.

I like how the MC's outlines are multicoloured and her friends are just one solid one showing that embracing your ghosts in this realm is probably rare and few people do it, sort of like how some people don't take the time to better themselves and stay in a cycle (idk maybe I'm looking to far into it tho).

This is beautiful

I didn’t even notice the “procreate dreams commission” and was coming back to say I saw it on the ad ^^

To me this looks like a visual representation of coping with grief. Those parts when you want to give up but you don't and then you are proud of yourself, you collect the pieces and go into the world. Wholesome.

This made me cry

In less than a minute I became so emotionally invested. Beautiful animation. Beautiful art style. Beautiful story. ❤

Here I am ugly crying at 7:40am :’) for years and still now it is so hard to get out of bed, get off of my phone, get out of my head. But this year I’ve been really trying to change this part of my life, and in therapy I’ve been learning to hold compassion for myself. And for who I used to be. I am audhd and have a whole lot of mental health stuff and so I relate so profoundly of how heavy it is to try and even just get out of bed. I love the progression of one step leading to another, each ghost manages to help themself more than the last. I love the healed and healthy witch who instead of resenting their past selves, has self compassion and shows love to themself. And how carrying that knowledge and love for how far they’ve come, they are able to be their full self and truly appreciate the beauty they have in their life. They have a reason to push themselves out of bed, outside each day. This gives me motivation to keep trying, even when I fail, and always with love and compassion for myself - former and now.

Every thought needs a step one at the time to be focus and make each day magical… this and an Americano Love the soundtrack btw

The QUALITY OF DREAMS !!!!

The thumbnail gave me big DID/plural vibes, and the film did not disappoint 💕

AGHDHS THISNIS SO COOL,, idk if it was on purpose but all the three hugging made a heart !! So cute,,

This animation feels so warm and comforting.

My eyes are just bewildered

Its beautiful how she acknowledged the other parts of herself too!. Really loved pointing this out

This is one of the most beautiful things I've watched. Made me tear up. I watched this on your TAD talk today and was tearing up in public 😅😂 it just made me emotional and I related so much to it. I've had some tough times mentally throughout my life and I still do, but nowadays I manage to handle them just like the witch, being more compassionate with myself and learning to embrace the parts of me that may be more challenging or make me feel lost and confused at times. These are all me and I gotta keep navigating life as the whole being I am. Thank you for reminding me of that through this animation.

ya captured how it feels to do stuff like that, it aways weights

Will there be a demonstration/tutorial for this animation? ❤ I absolutely love it

I have tears in my eyes for some reason. The way she hugged herself

That was so beautiful it gave me a tear in my eye 😭😭

Love it so much! The story and animation are great!😍

Wait this made me so emotional, I wasn’t expecting this wholesome bomb when I started watching

everyone are chasing the expressive word, trying to hook people into watching their video...But this video just proved that you just have to show dont tell...i clicked on this video out of pure curiosity to see what people are creating with procreate dreams and this one is by far the best i have come across..love to see more of such beautiful animation and storytelling

Omg this is actually me. 😮❤ Even the 3 colors..

The end was very Steven universe and I loved that this was amazing for a procreate animation 🔟🔟🔟

I hadn’t seen this one! Love the textures on the edge of the light. Another amazing animation, Michael (and team)

This was amazing. The character, concept, background work.... Everything gave such a smooth, calming, sweet vibe that just makes me want to watch this over and over again

Love all your parts. They all make up you💖

The music to this is so fitting and perfect, I love it.

I feel like this captures how it feels to finally have motivation to do anything.

Super freaking awesome animation. Everyone involved did amazing with this commission!

This is one of the most beautiful stories! I love how she brought all of her parts together in the end. I would absolutely watch more and more of her. I want to know more.

Didn’t think a lil animation would make me cry like that but ya did it 😭

The quality is amazing! You really made it!

This is incredible!!! Can’t wait for this to blow up, this is so amazing!!! I love how you added the little slivers of light beaming into the darkness, like there’s always goodness that you’re choosing to ignore even in the darkest moments when you know you need it most. Cheesey as that description is, I really like this!!!!! ❤❤❤❤

Thanks. I can't express what a push that gave me. It just did. Thank you

This morning I decided that I wanted to be productive. When I’m supposed to do something, I will do it (even if I do mot want to). So far I feel great and happy! I highly suggest it! :) ❤❤❤ This art reminds me of that. You leave a little you behind when doing something, and you bring it with you out and about! Love it sooo much! ❤❤❤

Brings me to tears. The peace and simplicity i crave is right here.

Beautiful story and beautiful procreate work, I can imagine how much energy you must have spent on this 1.5 mins of clip. It's commendable. :) And I really loved the message.

So beautiful! 🎉🎉

This is the most inspiring and beautiful short animation I have ever seen. The scenes are so accurate and colors are delightful, not to the the main message. Oh, it really made my day

This is so awesome Michael. Hard to believe this was done on an IPad!

This is phenomenal! A heartwarming story told with beautiful sound & visuals 💗I love that after getting energy by making choices that bring her joy, she still embraces her ghosts at the end and feels whole

This is absolutely amazing.

Wow Michael ! I truly appreciated this experience. Great craftmanship, truthful and beautifully simple storytelling. well done. inspiring!

What an amazing animation and powerful messsage

So beautiful!!!
