Legendary - EPIC the Musical Animatic

Almost 200 frames but it's finally done! ...Until I decide to redo it again, that is.
Enjoy the best song in the saga (in my opinion but im biased cause I've been working on this for a really long time lol)
Some additional stuff about the animatic - I planned this so it starts when he's around 12, and gradually passes through the years, until he's 20 at the end. I know that officially he's 20 in the song, but since he was 12 in the previous saga, I wanted to do it as a transition song. He is drawn differently at all the different ages, but its subtle and since its super sketchy, I know it isn't as obvious.
Also, the toys that he's got were all made by Penelope, and he still holds on to them cause even though he's older, its a connection to Ody. They should be appearing in other animatics too!

This has come a long way since the original rough storyboard version, which is over a year old now!! I'm still tempted to go back and actually colour and clean up the entire thing, but again, thats almost 200 frames to edit and I'm not entirely sure I actually know where the files for some frames are.
If you want to check out my other socials, I should (hopefully) be posting behind the scenes, storyboards and comparisons for this on my Instagram @niafaerin

small reminder that Tellemacus is in his very early 20's in this song (he was already born before ody left) but this is super cute

[SleepingAves]

I love that the monsters are stuffed animals 😭 it’s so adorable and fits so well

[pipopiipo]

This song hasn’t even been out for 24 hours my god the Epic fandom is scarily fast💀

[Lala-zocw]

The little Odysseus doll brought me to tears! I imagine he played with it when he was little planning what hed say to his dad when he finally got back or just hugging it/crying into it when he really missed him 😭😭

[moonieglow]

I am LOVING the style and the design of the monsters as plushies. So god damn CUTE.

I love it. The toy monsters Telemachus defeats, and just trying his best. Beautiful.

[bestpriest]

"If I fight these monsters, is it you I'll find?"
That line struck me the hardest

[justanaveragehumanbean]

Still one of my favorite Epic animatics :)

[GrayLou]

Your art style is perfect for this song! It was like Telemachus was fighting his way through a picture book, which worked so well with the make believe aspect.
This is great! Thanks for sharing.

(Also, is the ball and Cerebus a pjo reference?)

OMG THIS IS SO CUTE!!!! I FRIGGEN LOVE THIS <3

[Dark_Icy_Rose]

I LOVE THIS ANIMATIC SO MUCH!! I love the way the chorus is drawn like Telemachus was imagining it himself. It's such a wonderful representation of the song and it's literally how I envisioned it!! 💝💝

[Okaychan]

I love the scenes where he is imagining fighting these monsters. your animation and transitions were so smooth!

[geop]

I am happy this album dropped on my birthday! But this was the cake on top. Can't wait for more.

[sorinamarcu]

I love this depiction because if we think tele is a kid so having plushies he fight while talki g about the mosters is such a cute detail

[maryl.]

I love the plushie style for the enemies!

[Nobody-wyw]

[ExpiredWindex]
