Captain, I have something that I must confess...
Something that I must get off my chest Until it is said, I cannot rest
Captain? Eurylochus, go make sure this island is secure!
But captain... There's only so much left we can endure
Whatever you need to say can wait some more Of that, I'm sure
Okay... Eurylochus, back so soon?
Where's the rest of your crew? And by the gods, what happened to you?
We came across a palace Inside we heard a voice
It seemed to show no malice To greet it was our choice
But nothing could prepare us for thе power that awaited inside
What did this palacе hide? Sir! Since we left home we've faced a
variety of foes from a wide range of places: Gods, monsters, you know the roster,
hostile creatures that we could resist But this was a hell of a twist, cause
we are weak to a power like this! What was it?
A woman What???
She had us in just two words Come inside
Damn Welcome to the best part of your lives
Go ahead and rest wherever you like I got you, don't worry Ci
rce's got you now
Only I stayed outside, but the rest went in Take a seat
Let me bring you all something to eat I bet you're tired from the
years spent on your feet I got you, don't worry Circe's got you now
By the time they ate, it was far too late For inside the meal (think of your past)
She had cast a spell (and your mistakes) They began to squeal (they'll be the last)
And grow snouts and tails (mistakes you'll make)
She changed them I got all the power, yeah, I got all the power
No, I'm not
a player, I'm a puppeteer No, I don't play, I puppeteer, yeah!
They transformed (this is the price) And it wasn't quick (we pay to live)
She turned our men (the world does not) From men to pigs (tend to forgive)
She changed them! I got all the power, yeah, I got all the power
No, I'm not a player, I'm a puppeteer No, I don't play, I puppeteer, yeah
We have to go save them No we don't!
Look at all we've lost and all we've learned, Every single cost is so much
more than what we've earned Think a
bout the men we have
left before there's none Let's just cut our losses,
you and I, and let's run Of course I'd like to leave
now, of course I'd like to run But I can hardly sleep now
knowing everything we've done There's no length I wouldn't
go if it was you I had to save I can only hope you'd do the same
I can hear her still (no one will find) And her voice deceives (their way between)
What if she can't be killed? (my nymphs and I) Will you choose to leave? (their loving queen)
I don't kn
ow... I got all the power, yeah, I got all the power!
No, I'm not a player, I'm a puppeteer No, I don't play, I puppeteer, yeah!
She's a clever witch (this is the price) And she's hard to slay (we pay to love)
It's a game of wits (we draw the line) But you don't have to play (watch from above)
I have to try! I got all the power, yeah, I got all the power!
No, I'm not a player, I'm a puppeteer No, I don't play, I puppeteer, yeah!!

Eurylochus: names a whole bunch of enemies and says that what they found was so much worse than monsters and even gods Odysseus: But what did you find?? Eurylochus: A woman.
I love the thought that Eurylochus was hypnotized just to bring Odysseus to her. At least that was my impression by the eyes also being pink. I think it’s a good touch either way 😊
Sorry for the lack of shading and shoddy backgrounds, twas in a rush! But I really wanted to do an animatic for Puppeteer cos it was my favourite song from the Circe Saga! 🐖🐷
WOAH! This is gorgeous! I love Circe's design and the quick switches between the gentleness and her absolute power <3
"Take a seat!" proceeds to slap them down 😂
1:59 I love how confused Odysseus looks while listening to the story 😂 Great animatic, I love your character design! Also, I was hoping that the haircut of the one guy would translate to his pig-form, and I was not dissapointed!
This is so gorgeous! I love the pinks and purples luring the soldiers to Circe’s palace, and the way they strengthen into strings that she uses to puppeteer them. Also all of the designs are so cute, especially the pigs (and one of them even kept his glasses!). Awesome work! ❤❤❤
WOAH A FULL 4MIN ANIMATIC THIS SOON?! AH THIS TURNED OUT AMAZING!!!!
Also - feel free to drop your suggestions for future animatics (doesn't have to be for EPIC)! I'd love to know what you'd like me to tackle next. Was thinking of doing 'What the World Needs' or 'Sugar Cloud' from Ride the Cyclone, but nothing definitive at this point in time! 💚💜
The animation is incredible I love the transition using Eurolychos' eyes. It's so smooth. And Circe's eyes shifting ever so slightly to make her seem less friendly when she's not looking at the sailors. Excellent!
YOUR CIRCE DESIGN IS PEAK ACTUALLY!!!! Also the last shot????? Absolutely beautiful, I love it so much!! 💖💖💖💖
THIS IS LITERALLY THE BEST EPIC ANIMATIC I'VE SEEN love the pig keeping the glasses 😆 Designs are so pretty and cute
the little pigs beside the cushions!!😹
This is amazing! I love Circe's "anime villainess" style, especially after what Jay said of his inspirations. I'm curious about the design on her upper arm? I can't quite see it
OMG are the sailors eating ham? That's pretty dark
Circe looks so friendly.
I am amazed by the eye transitions! I loved the movement through Eurylochos' into the palace scene.
Wowow Circe is so pretty😳(also the pigs are so cute too)
YAASSS! MY FAVORITE SONG FROM THE CIRCE SONG WITH A VISUAL FROM ONE OF MY FAVORITE EPIC ARTISTS! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS FOOD 😩🙏🏾✨
This animatic is amazing!! Circe's design is so pretty and her power is shown so elegantly 💘
