Scylla- EPIC: The Musical Animatic

Song: Scylla

[Shingekiniana]

I specially like how this version shows the extra struggle of having to row while around there are monster heads shaking the ship and eating your comrades

[_emdeerm_]

the headband that was left in the water outside of the cave broke me. He abandoned the Open arms ideals. He completely embraced the fact that there was no return for him

[jiado]

“You’re quiet today.” “We’re trying to sneak past a Kaiju, STHU.”

[HauntedAnimations]

I love the depiction of Scylla and her heads as a pack of wolfs and their master

[nathanielrivera-gomez]

Dog-headed Scylla, and CHARYBDIS INCLUDED OMG I'M IN LOVE

[doxiedreg]

Me when the wolf heads are happily panting and being petted by Scylla at the end: AWE HE'S SO CUTE!!! Such a good boy!!

[saramckenzie]

Poseidon referring to Odysseus and his crew as a pack of wolves and them now being slaughtered by that very thing feels very ironic, feels like Odysseus killing his own men

[Missiletainn]

I love how you timed the row for your lives with ody waiting for Charybdis to stop swallowing and throwing the water back up, rowing with the surge to get through as fast as possible

[hiwaga]

2:30 as much as i love the depiction of eurylochus handing the torch to someone else, seeing him get _pushed out of the way_ is so much more devastating. Especially because I also headcanon that Polites died to push someone else out of the way (probably Ody) since that would explain why his last thoughts were about kindness.

idk it's just neat that your interpretation of events mirrored mine for extra suffering points all around.

[TheNarrator]

FINALLY

A mythologically accurate Scylla :DDD

[UmbraMilla]

Any depiction of Scylla with the dog-waist automatically gets a gold star from me.

And the fact that you actually showed Charybdis across from Scylla in the strait automatically makes this my new favorite animatic. Especially because it’s exactly what Homer wanted to reflect in the Odyssey - Odysseus was forced to either sacrifice six of his crew or risk them all dying to Charybdis instead! There was no good option, so Odysseus ended up choosing the lesser evil.

While it ended up destroying Eurylochus’s trust in his brother-in-law, he ultimately gave the crew another chance to survive by picking Scylla instead.

[TollsYou]

I really like seeing Odysseus's back when he's told about the wind bag. We the audience can't see his face, so it communicates well Eurylochus being shut out after the betrayal.

[navimcfarland]

Respectfully HOLY CRAP no words. Speechless.
Scylla - terrifying
Crew - terrified
Shout out to the one crew dude who pushed Eury out of the way
Ody - regretting his life choices
Boat - taking damage
Eury - has hair

[superk-boy]

I love how her mouth splits open her chest cavity. This being an animatic with minimal visuals almost adds to it, you gotta imagine what that'd look like. Ribs for teeth?

[nobodythatyouknow]

I'm in AWE. Not only is this more accurate to the mythological description of Scylla- it's also genially terrifying. The emotions presented for both the crew and Odysseus seem so realistic and genuine, which makes it SO conveying to watch! This is honestly my favorite Scylla animatic I've seen so far; can't wait to see more!!

[boblecat]

I love the myth accuracy AND THE HEADBAND FLOATING ON THE WATER

[tinagoli]

i always really like seeing odysseus wrestle with himself in scylla animatics and in this one, he actually looks really scared when the heads of scylla reveal themselves and begin to inch closer, knowing what must be done to avoid the TOTAL loss and bloodshed of his crew, also wonderful work on the scylla design, frightening but fascinating!! anytime someone in the epic fandom remembers the dog heads, i get happy :)

[kanaefan]

i love your depiction of how eurylochus survives! it gives his anger in mutiny much more depth, not only does he feel the guilt of inadvertently killing his friends, but for one to sacrifice himself for eurylochus? it's just cruel! love love love it!!

[lovinavargas-carriedo]

This is the first time I've seen someone illustrate sylla as something other than serpantine. I really like the idea of wolf dragon things. That's so cool!

[hiwaga]

CHARYBDIS CAMEO!!! And ody timing the "row for your lives" around her mouth closing is so OUGHHHH i'm going feral. Scylla has such good doggies i love them :3
