Ok I just watched this again, and my original comment didn't do it justice. I love this! The deaths section is my favourite. I know I used a split screen in the original video too, but it works so well in animated form! Great job

OH MY GOODNESS WHAT??? HOW SO FAST??? This is awesome. Spectacular. I love it. 10/10 Amazing. So cool. I loved the beginning with the soulbounds on each side, how some of them are actively shown as best friends and how Grian looks annoyed, how Cleo cuts Martyn off. The story in this The emotion in Pearl at the end. It's all so great!

@@wrentheelf2656 True I love QSMP but it's difficult to keep up with everything.

I absolutely love how you drew Cleo, especially the way her mouth is so zombie-y. And I love the cheeky little smile Pearl gives when she says “I think I got a little bit crazy.” It perfectly fits with her sweet innocent “little old me” compared to the way she absolutely tore down her competition. I love how you made her regain that cheerfulness while also being a terrifying force. That shot with the detailed eyes is chilling. Also you did this is four days? That’s incredible! You should absolutely take a nap though now, a well deserved one at that.

This is so good omg Pearl with the wanted sign showing she comitted 4 crimes is so funny, I love how you showed the deaths of everyone this is just amazing I LOVE IT

AHHHHH THIS IS SO GOOD The attention to detail is incredible! Grian covering his ears when he dies because of the sonic shriek, Bigb looking guilty at Ren's final words because he was not actually loyal, and Impulse and Bdubs' clock symbolism!!!! So much astounding detail!!!! THE SPLITTING OF THE SOULMATE STRING AT CLEO'S LINE!!!!! SO GOOD!!!!!

AN ANIMATIC ALREADY!!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE SPLIT SCREEN FOR THE PAIRS! AND HOW YOU TRANSLATED THE GREYED-OUT HEADS DISPLAYED FOR THE DEAD!!!!

I love how you depicted pearl in 'something wicked this way comes'

When Scott screams ‘pearl’ and it just sounds like a cat meowing PEarRl

It’s been a minute since I saw Double Life, so I concur with comment. Great song though and the certain scenes flowed together and how you honored the original edit of the song at the beginning, well done. Truly. Great job. We could pick at it, but then you go through every project wondering if you can do more, which can take away from the whole product.

this whole animation is great but i love the detail of etho's eyeroll at "true love" it's such a mood

This vid do be awesome :D I also do love how scar and grian were like at around 1:30

I ADORE THIS YOU ARE SO UNDERRATED!!!!! i love how youve animated all of it, pearl actually is disturbing in this which is perfect because the lore and everything just omg- and the eyes- WATCHERS EEEEE I LOVE THIS SO MUCH I CANT EVEN the way you animated the soulbounds dying is so great i cant even i may be getting this wrong, but youve animated it like the first person who causes the death dies and then the other is smited by the watchers which may i just say is fuckin epic small note, her little wanted poster its just- adorable like: meeee? nooooooo this slots so perfectly into the story of the life series, the 2nd something wicked this way comes is incredible, the way i interpret it shes gone insane from being Watched for so long and it became too much so shes scarlet not my personal headcannon, but i do love it, i havent seen that kind of take before really, congrats, this is incredible

DUDE Ok despite this being just sketches I. It's so good? Like the transitions and the deaths scenes and I just gaksdagkdshkasghk

I’m so late but this is so good! Cleo’s expressions are excellent and I love Pearls at the end. The heartbreak upon realizing that despite everything she did for her soulmate, she ended up alone again. This is a masterpiece!

i love the whole animatic but THE JELLIES AS SCAR SAYS WHAT IS GOING ON. I WANT GIANT CATS NOW. I NEED TO GET MYSELF A PET TIGER ARMY

The ending always gets me 😭

How the colours are inverted, the gasp i let out they are beautiful my friend spectacular. When Scott summons the tnt into his hand and drops it, for some reason those couple of seconds made my brain very happy Your expressions are amazing, they convey the emotion and are amusing when they need to be but also are very sad when the lines calls for it, like at 1:44 Jimmys face was genuinely really sad You just earned a new subscriber my friend

the opportunity to call it "Double Life But It's A Song But It's An Animation"
