I love how everyone who does the animatic all subconsciously agree that odyssey makes a shy face or “ UwU” face whenever he says “ I’m too shy, and terrified “ 🥺
I had to restart the video halfway through because I absolutely lost it at the expression during "you know I'm too shy and terrified" and couldn't pay attention for a good chunk of time. Unexpected moment of levity in an animation that does a fantastic job of slowly ratcheting up the tension. I absolutely LOVE that the siren sees the weapons before Odysseus turns around and knows she's absolutely cooked before she's actually hit, it really adds to the drama of it all to get to see her terror. Well done!
I love how in this person she's like "DAMN IT DUDE JUST GET IN!" ALso the bit at the end where you see the other sirens with their masks, ah! This is good!
I can’t help but laugh at this adaptation of Elpenor half dramatically blaming Oddie for his tragic death The original story had him asking Odysseus to bury him respectively was more impactful “I ask that you remember me, and do not go and leave me behind unwept, unburied, when he leave, for fear I might become the gods’ curse upon you; but burn me there with all my armor that belongs to me, and heap up a grave mound beside the beach of that gray sea, for an unhappy man, so that those to come will know of me. *Do this for me, and on top of the grave mound plant the oar with which I rowed when I was alive and among my companions”*
This animatic definitely has my favorite reactions for Siren Penelope. She thinks Odysseus isn’t really seeing her cuz of her song so she is visibly annoyed
A neat mix of comedy and unique perspective! The way you focus on the siren's expressions makes the inevitable reveal much more impactful. I wasn't expecting Odysseus to look back with such a crazed glint in his eye, but it's chilling. Well done!
Hi artistxgrotto. I'm wondering how do you feel about the sire's pleading to Ody to spare them and after that Ody saying to cut there tails off and let them drown, do you feel bad for the siren's or pity. Do you agree with how cruel Ody acted.?? also VERY very job with the animation!!!
