Having the little cloud guys make the figures of Penelope and Telemachus was a cool idea!

[K_Miguel]

I find it kinda funny how despite Aeolus being a god, everyone draws them as a goddess because of the VA.

[scarlett]

I really love how Aeolus' eyes change throughout this

[TheRichmaster]

I particularly liked Odyseuss' dream segment

[alexfaircloth]

There is stellar talent present here that evokes feelings of whimsiness polluted with cracking trust. The sudden transition solidifies how fast things can change

[Niko_does_art]

All the movement feels really smooth, I love it! And your Aolus design is awesome (Edit: typo)

[carlthomaswilliamsjr.]

Odysseus: Oh crud what did we do to tick him off? 4:00

[allie-cat-]

3:56 ah fuck what did we do to piss him off

[nix]

This is literally so Beautiful like you art is amazing

[iSleepyi.]

HOW LONG DID YOU SPEND IN ON THIS ITS SO NICELY ANIMATEDDD

[cameronmcknight]

This style is soooo cute, I hope you make more. Small little point though, the crewman at 1:26 who greets Ody when he returns to the ship isn't Eurylochus. The guy sounds incredibly similar, but it is a totally different character named Perimedes.

Honestly, I prefer the depiction of Aeolus as a young boy. Both because of the playfulness and the original myth of Aeolus being male (I really like the myths, so inconsistencies like that annoy me a bit), but also because the voice really puts the image of a playful child into my head. Big applause to the VA there!
