Bro wtf is this shit? Too many going on here.

I agree with Mediburbs, ignore Hopps. This is a great effect, that's Halloween themed yet doesn't feel like another generic 'Halloween effect'. The cards and roses are cool looking, well-animated and well drawn. It's pretty close to being the best that it can be, just a few complaints I have. If you're willing to do a V2 of this, I'd recommend toning down the portal. It draws your (or at least, my) eyes away from what I feel should be the main appeal of this effect, which are the cards & roses. Also, it does look kinda flat, but to be completely honest I have no clue how to fix that. Just tone the portal down, and I feel it'd be a solidly B+ to A tier effect.

Ignore hopps. Turning this into another generic portal effect is a TERRIBLE idea.

I can agree on it being busy and flat. I think another approach would be to rework the wand+hand component and just doing a floating/waving wand. I think it would help the noise, and maybe make the cards much less noisy maybe a flat white with simple icons idk.

I'd say it's too busy. I would even remove the cards, hands, roses, etc and keep the portal effect. This is way too busy for an unusual effect.

Please do NOT follow that guy's advice and split this effect into potentially 4 copies.

i like it

I'd say separate the roses, cards, doves, and hands with a wand into their own effects. Feels like you can get 4 effects outta this one.
