Woah this map is so cool! Unlike other people's maps, yours contain very good rhythm choice that fits the song greatly. Keep it up:) Also, everybody talks bad about your artworks and stuff, but don't give normal advice to improve (at least I haven't seen one) Hate these comments so much btw, but I think that's what people want:
You know, unlike searching for vapid aesthetic anime BG (I guess 1/4 of maps has just random anime girl bg with no associations with the song!), you can draw your own BGs with pretty much anything in them. And, also, you can express some emotions in them, too. Even partially! You can try to associate songs with some sort of things and emotions and you can express them in different colours and forms as you draw it by yourself. F.e, this song can be associated with something half-abstract and edgy so the bg can be less saturated, darker and also there can be added some bright colours, you can paint X and /this stuff that covers her eyes/ into the red. Also, for expressing an edgy feeling, the brush style can be sharper, too.
If you think there's a problem with that, I can suggest you to look up for different maps and try to understand how BG is fitting to song/map. Good luck^^
You know i dont really care about your artistic skills, as if i didn't know it was drawn by you. But why always a person, with this hair, in this style? The same with Zekk - Ashes, the song has nothing to do with the bg, like even close. You could put some abstract one color bg that you've created in paint.net with 100 effects or smth. It would still be better.
I would take this criticism into consideration if this was used for every oral cig map that used the same anime girl in a different pose background or random anime girls in songs in general
Ashes has no lyrics and this song barely does but each do try an attempt to fit the song (like this one for example try to sort of fit a theme of deletion which is pretty obvious id say) - Also there is official art on Ashes (that I couldn't used) that it weren't for it being offical, you wouldn't think it fit either ^^;
While you can argue that this doesn't fit the song, this same exact argument can be said for a million other maps but nobody will say that to them because the art either looks nice or doesn't have my name on it
Tl;dr - If we gonna argue about if the background fit on a song that barely has lyrics or no lyrics, then can we do that for every map?
I would say the same for other maps with just random anime girl bg, but, you know it wasn't drawn by them for the song specifically, they just chose it, and it was just their bad decision. You probably have an insight or something so you intentionally draw something that in your opinion fits the song, but why is your imagination so poor, why the same character, background and etc. It looks like you're just inverting colors in editor, i personally don't see any difference. Maybe it's just a satire on anime backgrounds, their similarity?
I actually really like this. Feels kinda weird though how people are pointing out the attempt of making a controlled map instead of just people shitting themselves over super hard maps LOL
