WIP Animatic - 'The Challenge' [ EPIC the Musical ] Teaser 3 *Original Vocals by Anna Lea*

While the full HD version of the song is not out yet, there is a snippet of Anna Lea (Penelope) singing in HD and so I decided to use that audio clip for this third teaser of my upcoming "The Challenge" animatic. Enjoy!

Stream Epic the Musical wherever you stream!

Music by Jorge Rivera-Herrans @JayHerrans

Animatic by Gwendy of NS2D Studios

The palintonos bow! The attention to detail is amazing!

[ἈσπὶςἈχιλλῆος]

The zooming of the axes is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen omg!

[BeatrizOliveira-wzql]

I don't know why, but something about Penelope not being overly sexualized in this makes me really happy😊

[Настя-цщр]

I love the Greek Mythology, especially about Odysseus and his family. Their love for each other is so strong. I also love Penelope's appearance. She's so beautiful, clever, loving queen and a loving and caring wife and mother.

[camalemsy]

That shot with the axes zooming out was incredible omg I'm so flabbergasted at how good this is

[m-wonder]

0:04 whats that shoooot Gwendyy 🤯🤯🤩 . Penelope is so beautiful, cant wait for this to come out 🥰

[DrakeDragonton]

Looks amazing so far! Personally, despite the debate on where the whole of the axe is, I think it would be super anime if Jorge made it so Ody just straight shot through the axe blades without holes. He was so strong that it literally pierced through twelve layers of solid steel. That’s my personal hope for the canon

[VegaTheLyra]

0:04 GWENDDYYY!!!! I WASN'T EXPECTING THIS MASTERPIECE OF A SHOT!

[RawwkinGrimmie]

I had to go through the twelves axes shot frame by frame, it's so beautiful!
and then I noticed that the shot after only has eight axes xD

I could listen to and watch this all day. I'm so excited for Penelope to have her own song. We've gotten Anna Lea's amazing voice twice already, but her role as the actual Penelope who has suffered and endured so much pain, sorrow, grief, and torment, is on an entirely different level. After twenty years of raising her son alone and enduring the vile of men that she could have birthed herself by age, the time has come for her to set aside her old stalling tactics and impose the ultimate challenge to have only the best be by her side.
I can't put how excited I am to hear this song into words, and my excitement only grows the closer we get to the Ithaca Saga.
After that twelve axes shot, I am equally excited to see your animatic as well!

This is good animation.

Funny how the shape of the bow, almost goes with my idea of making Odysseus’ bow into a crossbow.

Where this is Penelope’s last ditch effort to stall the suitors.

Because no one but Odysseus can string the bow, because he is the one who knows the real secret to it.

While the suitors are frustrated, trying to figure it out, but can’t.

Odysseus sneaks around the throne while they’re distracted and takes parts of it off while assembling it into a mechanism.

Only waiting for the chance to grab the bow itself and complete his weapon.

[GabrielGonzales]

I can't wait for the final result! I really really love the detail on the palintonos bow and the camera movement through the axes.

[amyray]

Whoo can’t wait for the full animatic 😊

[CleanwithAmanda]

Omg I can't wait to see all of this one you do an amazing job

[keeganfirecloak]

Is this your subtle way of telling us that Jorge is getting you to do the animatic for the official release when this saga comes out? 🤔😏

[nerdburger]

Just once I want somebody to aninate this scene and have her glare daggers at Zeus when she says “Release him”

[Flowery-xz]

Your animatics so flows!!!! Also 0:05????
Gwendy you are very talented❤

[misha-water]

What an amazing animation, your skills as an animator are impressive. One question, I couldn't help but notice that the holes in the 12 axes expose Penelope to the danger of an arrow. Is that intentional 😮? (Sorry about my english)

[wolfitrix]

I have a question for everyone here, does ths shooting 12 axes remind you of a studio or production intro in every bug cinematic flim

[doloresgronenberg]

That's actually amazing, the shot with the axes is so very cool, I hope to see the full version when it's finished, tell me if I'm wrong but I think you also said once that you would revisit this song once it officially released, or am I mistaken?

[anironsidh]

The shot through the axes was so cool 😮
