good work with one minor issue, latest AE shows “lens_blur”deprecated error message
Hi Swurky, yeah they replaced the lens blur with a Camera Lens Blur effect. If you open the project file with the latest version of AE it does a conversion for you. Apart from that you can simple apply the Camera Lens Blur effect to the “vignette blur” layer, set the Blur Radius to 3 and use the “vignette_mask” layer as the source. Sorry for the late response.
Hello! Great job. You have a wonderful and professional portfolio! I wish you big sales! By the way, I’m looking for cooperation with the authors of VideoHive. If you want, you can use my music (with a watermark) in your videos. Just choose what you like. In turn, I will place a link to your work on my page (my page already has an example). If you have any questions or suggestions, just let me know
. Good mood and good luck!
Thanks Amidamaru. I’ll keep your music in mind.
Can the ink images be changed to something else? What I mean is, is your ink reveal procedural based on any image?
Ah, that would’ve been a good idea, but alas, the ink reveals aren’t procedural. Just masks and strokes particular to each of the illustrations.
I just got project and am having an issue… All the scales on dragon are not showing up… I am using After Effects CC 2015. It’s only a small portion of his chest that shows up…
could you send me a screenshot of what it looks like on your screen?
Wishing for this too. Thanks so much for your work 
Thanks mattu.
Hi Andrew,
First let me say that your work is excellent.
Would it be possible to have an option for Sheep, rather than goat. In China really the tradition is the year of the “Bahhh” (An animal noise just like either a Sheep or Goat).
However today more people recognise “Sheep” as the animal of choice, rather than goat.
Is this something you could add, as 2015 is the year of the Sheep?
Many thanks for your help and support in advance.
Hey krissparker, thanks. I’ve gotten a few requests on the sheep illustration and will try and release an update as soon as I can, but it might be a few months.
Hi Andrew love this work , however when i try to open I get after effects warning 185 files missing ?? i have downloaded and retried – same thing. I am using ae CC Kindly advise Thks Lee
Hey akllrb, Sorry you’re having problems with the download. You’re the 1st who’s mentioned this problem so it might be an issue on your side. Send me a direct email and I’ll see what I can do.
Dear Andrew,
Just bought this excellent item. Thanks for the great work!
One question: Any chance to change the cloth banner color. would like to make it slightly brigheter (a bit close to orange). Sorry to bother and thanks a lot!
Hey Corumchu, thanks for buying. You can change the cloth color by applying any color filter to the cloth animation layer. You’ll find the comp in the Precomps / cloth_drop folder.
Hi Andrew,
Congratulations on this masterpiece. May I ask if it is possible for me to add in a logo ?
Sure, you could put it wherever you like; e.g. as a replacement for the badge [Precomps / Animals / whichever animal you’re using has a [animal-name]-badge comp in that folder], or on the cloth banner that drops from above at the end [!_CUSTOMIZABLE / Banner_txt/ HappyNewYear_Formal or Typical CHI comp]
I am totally bug-eyed! outstanding! Cant think of anything to use it for, but i need to know if you do TUTORIALS on stuff like this?
Hey Persebra, thanks, glad you like it. I haven’t done any tutorials, but you’ve got me thinking.
Great work wish more sale !
Thanks!
sick video!

Thanks Vineet
I’d like to make a shout out to Andrew Davies for anyone considering this project. I needed a custom logo, edited characters, and different wording than the template provided. He was able to turn to do all of this and turn it around very quickly, professionally, and at reasonable rates.
I highly recommend anyone considering this project or any other of Andrew’s works to strongly consider working with him.
great work!!! 
Thanks!
What a great project — great idea for such a graphical approach as well. It’s nice to see real AE competence. I see you’re now approaching 200 sales, I’ll guess I’ll need to pay for a license so you can attain that number! Best of luck on this and future projects. Love it!
Hey Dorian, thanks so much. I appreciate the kind words and the help in reaching the big 200
Great work man!!!!! 
Thanks Dj
Great job. Question, you have a brush transition at 0:18 into your example video. I don’t see that transition in the project file…is it not included? or am I missing something. thx
Thanks. The brush transition is in the Precomps folder in the common folder. It’s a comp called brush_stroke_reveal
thanks for the quick reply. found it
Very good Job!! see my music if you like 
Thanks. I’ll check it out.
I that this sounds like an odd request, but I bought this yesterday and found it absolutely fabulous. The thing is, I have a MBP from 2009 and when I set this project to export over the night, with YouTube 720p as my output, I woke up after 7 hours and it said that 31 hours was remaining. I might be doing something else wrong, but I’ve been trying to render this with very compressed settings and it still takes forever. My GPU doesn’t support CUDA, so I was wondering if I could get it rendered from somebody, if I send you the edited project? I’ve basically just changed some text. It would mean the world.
Thanks.
Hey Lither, sorry the renders are taking so long. I thought of including pre-renders for each animal but it ended up making the file too big for upload. So if you pre-render the comp with the animal reveal (so if it’s the Horse it’d be Horse_reveal) that’ll help reduce the render time considerably.
Great work!
Thanks
