King [Epic: The Musical Animatic]

I'm pretty sure the torches are supposed to be on the walls, but I just really wanted someone holding one lol. I'm very happy with how this one turned out though :) Btw, I also do commissions! If interested, simply email me at: vvterrv@gmail.com And thanks for watching 😊 Epic: The Musical (by Jorge Rivera-Herrans, @JayHerrans)

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.

@thepokepoet9482

The full song is going to be amazing!! But this has me hyped even more!!!

@schmad2048

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!

@SIMPLY_GJ

WOOOO! THAT PART WHERE ODYSSEUS APPEARS BEHIND THE DUDE BEFORE STABBUNG HIM- 😲 BONE CHILLING!!!

@ellelongacre3723

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.

@earth_to_ani3472

“U dont think Ik my own palace I built it” just ughhhh so amazing!!

@tumblingartist

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

@MightyMoth108

This song is me when I "decide" to be a stealth archer in Skyrim.

@jupiter_prince

THATS A FREAKING MASTERPIECE THE EMOTION ON ODYSSEUS FACE hffhhj

@Warkon

Odysseus is exactly the type to have secret passages in his palace, known only to himself and Penelope.

@Mat-vb2hz

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 👍🏻

@SIMPLY_GJ

BRO THIS GOES HARD 😲

@Zephirite.

The red lighting and black background really upped the intensity, wow. And your lines are so dynamic!

@margaretschaufele6502

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!!!

@VivoRocks-dm7ke

Keep your head down he's aiming for the torches! I love this line

@igorgracchia5788

Absolute in love with this amazing animation, it is so violent, like the moment it conveys, congrats

@wednesdaylangwell7615

Odysseus comin in like "daddys home". Fucked around, found out

@storyxobssesedxnerd

Especially when Odysseus ✨slays✨ that so well done!

@ollieneedstherapy

I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS! EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL! I MEAN CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE LIGHTING!!!
