Wow.

That was really fantastic, the animation was really smooth, and it was all very well drawn. Amazing job! Best of luck in the competition!

Not sure about the weaving of the plants at the beginning… But from there on I was completely hooked! Your hell creatures have a cohesive style and suprising. Fresh!
