Where is he? Where is he?! Keep your head down! He's aiming for the torches Our weapons, they're missing! He's using the darkness to hide his approaches We're empty-handed, up against an archer Our only chance is to strike him in the darkness We know these halls! The odds can be tilted You don't think I know my own palace? I BUILT IT!

I love how every artist has captured Odysseus in this moment so far. Like, every take is so subtly nuanced in a different direction but equally as compelling to each other. I loved how expressive they were, ofc, but particularly your use of shading and lighting REALLY made this piece hold the drama it needed. That reveal and the blood splatter was MWAH MWAH. Chef's kiss.
Odysseus: Actively going after the torches. The suitors: Ah yes, let's go after him in the darkness, it's not like that's exactly what he wants or anything.
The full song is going to be amazing!! But this has me hyped even more!!!
I've been replaying the smooth af "I built it!" part over and over because it's SO amazing! He sounds insulted (rightfully so, it's HIS palace) and you portray that so well! And the atmosphere you create with the shading and the frantic movements/expressions of the suitors is amazing as well! Great job!
WOOOO! THAT PART WHERE ODYSSEUS APPEARS BEHIND THE DUDE BEFORE STABBUNG HIM- 😲 BONE CHILLING!!!
Your animation made the "keep you head down he's aiming for the torches" make sense. Edit: Realized I'm not done gushing. I love how distinct you made the suitors and how you can see their thought process on their face and their different personalities. Also the motion on the guy running in was chefs kiss and I'm wonderfully impressed with how you managed to do a variation of camera angles without backgrounds to visualize the space in. Also the line up of the first kill to the slash. Ah beautiful.
“U dont think Ik my own palace I built it” just ughhhh so amazing!!
This is awesome!! It captures the tension felt by the suitors even as they tried to be “confident” against Odysseus- then THE MAN HIMSELF emerges from the shadows :0
This song is me when I "decide" to be a stealth archer in Skyrim.
THATS A FREAKING MASTERPIECE THE EMOTION ON ODYSSEUS FACE hffhhj
Odysseus is exactly the type to have secret passages in his palace, known only to himself and Penelope.
Honestly this is the best animatic on this song yet, the way you portrayed the suitors is just perfect, and your shading is very good too 👍🏻
BRO THIS GOES HARD 😲
The red lighting and black background really upped the intensity, wow. And your lines are so dynamic!
I can't get over that last line from Odysseus as he stabs the over-confident suitor. "You don't think I know my OWN palace?!? I BUILT IT!!!" Also, the furious/deranged look the many artists have given him as he just appears out of the shadows. Perfection!!!
Keep your head down he's aiming for the torches! I love this line
Absolute in love with this amazing animation, it is so violent, like the moment it conveys, congrats
Odysseus comin in like "daddys home". Fucked around, found out
Especially when Odysseus ✨slays✨ that so well done!
I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS! EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL! I MEAN CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE LIGHTING!!!
