Monster [ EPIC: The Musical | Animatic ]

this was such a funky snippet I had to draw it ahjkfgdkfhdk. a little birthday treat, if you will (I say, looking away from all my due projects)

anyways this a little callback to that one scene in my my goodbye animatic :D
But also I changed up his older design for the musical to be sharper haha. my iliad!Odysseus already has sharp features so the curly hair works well but since this version of Odysseus has a rounder/squarer face, making his hair and build sharper helps kinda make him look more jaded methinks

TIRESIAS AT THE END-
“I’ll become the monster”
“No longer you”
OH MY GOSH

[Hybridcrows]

You should feel IMMENSELY proud of yourself for these animatics they're INCREDIBLE

[foolishfolly-xu]

the fact that he says that he’d throw a child off a wall versus when he literally begged zeus to let him choose another choice

[emmakinzian]

Don't get me wrong, the Circe saga is phenomenal, but all I can think of is how we're one step closer to getting this MASTERPIECE in the Underworld Saga

[subisabella]

“And if i have to drop another infant from a wall in a instance so we all don’t *die?“*
That line got me

[disconsolate]

Omg is this the Tiresias prophecy scene where Odysseus has to literally confront all his ghosts and everything he lost?? I love how you paired that with this song - it’s such an emotional scene and Odysseus having his pride and cockiness totally broken down by it is devastating. The progression from “I’m just a man” to “im a monster” is just UGHH. And the parallels to that animatic in this one is UGHHH. Wolfy you’re so awesome. Happy birthday!

When the official track drops, will you be doing a full version?
Because this is phenomenal

[VenusKets]

The use of such drastic angles to signify the height of the wall and Odysseus feelings from back then is masterful; it makes the hight feel so much greater- and the weight of his actions is amplified as the angle would have been the infants view.

Phenomenal job on all the mist-like movement, I can't imagine how hard it is to do something like that while also making it seem thick enough for him to have to claw through it.

Knocked it out of the park again.

Tiresias, wondering why some commander is trauma dumping to him:

[FCTINL]

OH MY GODS THE AMOUNT PERSPECTIVES AND EMOTION IN THIS ANIMATIC IS INSANE WHAT?!

[theimperialowl]

I really like this take. Most other interpretations I see show Odysseus as being cold and callous, but the way you animated it almost makes it look like he's making a sacrifice, taking up a burden in his mind.

[Mr.Bobble-]

POV: You have a group project but everyone just expects you to do it so you make it god awful and don't go in the day you present

[sumomo]

This is so incredible. I love the look in his eyes when he admits he'd drop another infant, a thing he'd so struggled with. He's crying and he's terrified at what he's willing to do, but at the same time he's lost so much he's determined to save what he has left and meet his family.
I also love that what he left for the war Telemachus had been a baby, but now Odysseus imagines him as the boy he should be, even though he doesn't know his face. He stares at Penelope's face, remembering her, but then he stared at Telemachus's, imagining how he's grown. It's such a neat detail that they're both faceless, that everyone is faceless

[henlo]

This is absolutely beautiful! I loved how you showed Odysseus crying when he admits that he would drop another child off of the wall to protect him and his loved ones shows how he's become the thing he tried so hard not to be. Amazing animatic as always. Also happy birthday!🎂

0:16 UGH I LOVE THIS PART!!! A lot of animatics I see only focus on Penelope during this part BUT LOOK! HE’S SO DESPERATE TO SEE HIS SON!

[AstraCrow]

The “my goodbye” callbacks are so cool!

[josie]

Omg I LOVE how this design of Odysseus is so much more sharp and angled than your usual depiction of him, it really hammers home the MONSTER feel and gives it a more villainous vibe but it’s also so tragic because you’ve so perfectly shown how desperate he is to get home! Chefs kiss!!!🤩

[iz_foo]

bro ive got no words this is gorgeous, that turning sequence at the beginning is so cool

[endy]

Seeing Odysseus cry as the mist approached him and the misty figure reaching it's hands to Odysseus, but he can't lean on it and just falls to his knees... yeah, that got to me
fantastical work, thank you

[IcecreamCat]

I absolutely adore the way he starts looking around and seeing all the people who he’s lost, it’s matches the harsh beat so well!
