Different Beast | EPIC the Musical Animatic

I was able to do this in 2 DAYS HOW.

I haven’t seen a full animatic for this song yet so I was happy to feed the people. 2/5 songs done. I am absolutely going to have arthritis after this saga.

Note to self: Do not pretend to be a dudes wife he hasn’t seen for 12 years

I like that Odysseus tied a rope around the siren’s neck, all that pressure on her larynx keeps her from singing and seducing Odysseus and the men. Nice detail.

[StuckinFridgehelp]

I like how When "Penelope" Hisses she changes

[Kexaru]

Loved the expressions on Odysseus, he isn't cocky or enjoying this, he's angry and doesn't like to kill them but he knows he must.

[EdenVix]

I love the idea that he had a wedding ring as a necklace. That's why the siren assumed he had a wife and went based on that info and what Ody was saying, kinda just making shit up on the way in response to him. It makes more sense than her knowing about Penelope but somehow not knowing he doesn't have a daughter

From 0 different beasts animatics to 2 in a day, what's this insanity?

[L.W.]

His face at "let them drown" was SO COLD

[cryst]

I love that Odysseus, the infamous archer, is just picking them off one by one. So chilling.

[lightspotatochip]

Odysseus wasnt playing around with that first siren- This is one of my fav epic animatics! Love the intensity, design, and facial expressions!

[CaptainPoseidon]

"We are the ones who feast now." I love that line, so many of them have literally been eaten and now they are the monsters which will eat the ones hunting them down. When the prey becomes a predator. He learned the lessons that Athena and Poseidon were teaching him. He is ruthless now and there will be no mercy to anyone but himself. Love, love, love this, he just dosen't care about the lives of others now

1:08 remember, polities was keeping track of the dates

[bridgerhibbert]

It just occurred to me: Odysseus probably could have fed the sirens he captured to Scylla instead of the six men, but it's possible his anger and ruthlessness made him blind to the possibility.

[akamarimeili]

Why does everyone make Odysseus so fine😭

Seriously loved this though! It's amazing! I love how cold Odysseus is portrayed to be, really shows off why his men said 'he is a different beast' in the end instead of 'we are a different beast'

[RedOnion]

I can't hear "first we slayed" without imagining him popping a hip and snapping like he "slayed"

[alyssafigliano]

Odysseus' expression at 1:49 is just so good! He's obviously sooo smug telling the siren all about his plan to trick her and how she played along perfectly. Way to become the monster, bud!

[matetorok]

Such a great Ody design. The few strands of hair in his eyes really gives him that ragged vibe.
And the expressions are amazing, really drive it home how none of them are particularly wanting to do this, but feel like they have to

[iliketea]

While I will always mourn the fact that Jay didn't use the accurate description of the sirens (although some animators do add feathers to their siren design for this song, which does makes me feel better) and instead used the mermaid version (I completely understand why he did it, but still), this is still a fantastic animatic!

[ianyoder]

This is my favorite song from Thunder Bringer saga. And you delivered everything I wanted to see for this song.
I'm a sucker for a good chorus, and when ever I heard "we are the man made monsters, we are the ones who concur" I always imagined this dark faceless mob with white dot eyes. I've just been waiting for someone to animate it.
Yall artists are crazy the way you pump these out so fast, I give you my praise and condolences.

[Warlord-dcun]

You truly see how he became far more ruthless with even his past self most certainly see himself as a monster now.

Before he spared the cyclops that killed his men, but here despite the fact the sirens gave him information and how none of his men were harmed still he didn't spare them.

He is forever damaged from his last experience and the torment from being unable to get back to his loved ones, he made a vow to become a monster if it means finally being reunited with his wife.

Listening to Different beast without suffering right before has a goofy feeling to it
