Mutiny || EPIC: The Musical Animatic 

Thank you guys for watching!! This was so much fun to work on and I'm so happy I get to share it with you all :') EPIC has been such an inspiration to me, and I'm so happy to get to contribute to the awesome fandom :D EDIT: I’ve seen enough Eurylochus slander in these comments, it’s time for an essay 😤 (im not actually mad i just think it’ll be helpful if anyone wants to know why im such a eury sympathizer HAHA) I don’t think Eurylochus is a hypocrite. He’s angry with Odysseus because Ody _purposefully_ sacrificed those men’s lives. All the other deaths of the crew thus far in the story have been _accidents._ Up until this point, Eurylochus could trust Odysseus to put the crew’s survival first. His faith is shaken early in the ocean saga; Odysseus is acting erratically after Polites’s death, and seemingly acts without regard for the crew’s safety (steering them recklessly through the storm as the ships take damage, confronting gods seemingly on a whim, being _really_ secretive and trusting no one with the bag he returns with). Eurylochus opens the bag out of a need for closure, to know that Odysseus is still acting in favor of the crew. He does, and it’s a really stupid mistake, but I can understand the reasoning behind it. We the audience have the benefit of knowing for certain that the storm is in the bag, but it’s important to remember that _Eurylochus doesn’t._ After this, Eurylochus takes Odysseus’s ending words from “Luck Runs Out” to heart; he doesn’t question Odysseus in front of the crew anymore, because the last time he took matters into his own hands, they lost the majority of their fleet. When Eury loses his men to Circe, he thinks them to be essentially dead. He has no reason to believe that Circe can be convinced to turn them back, and Odysseus trying to confront her seems like he’s just walking into a death trap (and it would have been without Hermes intervening for the funsies!!). Despite expectations, Odysseus succeeds. He gets the men back, and he gets directions to their next course of action, and Eurylochus puts more trust into Ody’s ability to protect and care for the crew. They go into the underworld, and they come back out alive. They sail through Scylla’s lair, Eury admits to opening the wind bag, and Odysseus directs Eurylochus to light the torches and hand them out. Eury does so, and then Scylla attacks. The men with torches are eaten, _deliberately sacrificed,_ and the rest make it out safely. Now, Eurylochus has to grapple with the fact that obeying his captain unquestioningly lead him to having a direct hand in the deaths of more of their friends. He has to deal with the fact that, despite earlier assurances, Odysseus _will not actually put the men’s lives first._ Before anyone or anything else, Odysseus puts his goal of getting home to his family _first._ And _this_ is Eurylochus’s tipping point. It isn’t the fact that the men died, it’s the fact that Odysseus decided that the lives of the crew are acceptable collateral in his quest to return home. To Eurylochus, who finds his purpose in protecting the crew, this is an unacceptable stance to take. Thus, the mutiny. ANYWAY I’ve just seen a lot of people complain that Eury doesn’t have a right to complain since he’s also caused a lot of deaths, but I think they’re fundamentally misunderstanding the reasoning behind the mutiny. Both Odysseus and Eurylochus are very complex characters and they’ve both got blood on their hands; looking for a simple “this person is Right and this person is Wrong” in this situation just doesn’t work! obviously you’re not obligated to agree with me, this is all just my opinion ✌️ thanks for watching, and if you made it this far, thanks for reading my essay HAHA

Devastating detail from the song is that even after every that's happened with the sacrifices and the mutiny as soon as Eurylochus realizes that he's made a mistake, his first instinct is to turn to Odysseus for guidance, with that little, "...Captain?" SOBBING

The fact that he immediately knows he messed up by the cow’s blood being pure gold is SO GOOD

Odysseus using the blood from his dead friends to win against his opponent is an incredible detail for so many reasons

Scylla has zero table manners. Look at all the blood left on the ship. Truly a monster.

The way Ody gets out of the ropes easy no effort is such a funny thing like he only stayed put for the sake of being polite.

Alternate title: Man struggles to get a burger

I love how even the mutiny, we see how the crew and Odysseus don't immediately switch gears. When Eurolychis kills the cow and the realization sets in, he immediately looks at Odysseus. And Odysseus responds immediately, taking back the role of captain, ordering the men to try and escape. Even after the sacrifice of 6 men, he still cares. He was tied up and didn't need to take liability, but he reopened his wound so they could have a chance of escape.

I adore how you had the cows spill ichor the blood of gods and immortals. I also love how Odysseus basically takes Athena’s role warning someone not to anger the gods.

I love the detail that Odysseus’ wound has re-opened beneath the bandages in him struggling out of the ropes.

2:30 Odysseus had been unconscious for days actually because in the Odyssey it said “the men ate the cattle for six days” so imagine the harrowing realization

Eurylochus looking so heartbroken is so perfect 😭 Odysseus using the blood to blind Eury is such a great idea!

I love how this animatic portrays the duel between Odysseus and Eurylochus as a violent yet non-fatal one. Once Odysseus subdued Eurylochus, he doesn’t go for the kill like I’ve seen him do in all the other animatics I’ve seen. That small, unique detail goes so far in developing the two’s broken friendship, and how, despite their ideologies and roads in life irreparably diverging, they still care about each other and don’t want the other dead.

The thunder looking like angered eyes is an amazing add on

THE REALIZATION THAT EURYLOCHUS HAS IN HIS EYES IS SO F*CKING GOOOOOD

GODD I LOVE THE AMOUNT OF DETAIL THE FACT THAT ODY IS STILL NOT RECOVERED.. THATS SO INFREQUENTLY SHOWN?

The eye rolling back and refocusing is such an eerie yet on brand thing for an immortal pet of a god to do. Apollo looking through that cow's eyes to put a face to her killer is just perfect.

Some crewmate in the background: "Did that lightning just stare at us...?" I absolutely LOVED that!

the detail of him having bandages for the wound was a nice addition

This animation got everything right. The faces and expression, SUCH A CREATIVE FIGHT SCENE, the wound being consistently there, how SPOOKY the dead (?) cow is plus the feeling of dread at the sight of gold blood... chef's kiss. This is absolutely winning the spot for Mutiny in my Best Animatics playlist for EPIC.

Eurylochus: "Listen to me, my comrades, brothers in hardship. All ways of dying are hateful to us poor mortals, true, but to die of hunger, starve to death-that’s the worst of all. So up with you now, let’s drive off the pick of Helios’ sleek herds, slaughter them to the gods who rule the skies up there. If we ever make it home to Ithaca, native ground, erect at once a glorious temple to the Sun god, line the walls with hoards of dazzling gifts! *But if the Sun, inflamed for his longhorn cattle, means to wreck our ship and the other gods pitch in-I’d rather die at sea, with one deep gulp of death, than die by inches on this desolate island here!"* (The Odyssey) Zeus: (loads his thunderbolt after many crewmates disobeys Odysseus' instructions not to touch the gods' cattle and leads a mutiny against him) *Alright, Bet!*

The way Odysseus needs support to walk, bleeding, and still helps his crew without esitation is too precious

THIS IS SO GOOD!! I love Eurylochus's pupils as he realizes who Ody is talking about as they're fleeing the island. Tbh ALL the character's eyes show so much emotion, especially the crew members after the initial fight between Eurylochus and Ody. Very detailed!

When Odyessues wakes up and Eurylochus is still there waiting to hear what he has has to say, it's just so sad that they have no idea what to do without their captain. Their entire journey and suffering is the crew's fault but they push it onto their Captain (who is not blameless by any means, mind), they're just a group of sad children who've known nothing but suffering and war. Almost their entire adult life spent at war, they just have no idea how to operate in the real world

I love how ever since the livestream the community has just accepted that Eurylochus just has a big anime sword xD Polites has modern glasses, and Eurylochus has a sword as long as his body.

4:04 Yes! The golden blood! I was thinking it'd be a great detail if the cows had Ichor instead of mortal blood because Ichor, the blood of the gods, is poisonous to mortals. This explains why Eurylochus left the cow immediately. Because he realized it was poison and all for naught. Though if this really was the case, Ody should have known this and told him to dissuade him. 4:16 Fuuuuck, the way the cow's eye looks at him, and you can see him in the reflection. So good!

1:33 Ody using the blood of his own crew was such a dirty move and a genius idea on OP’s part! Awesome animatic ❤

Omg the lightning as eyes at 4:41 holy hell that was epic

This is my FAVORITE Mutiny animatic. I love the designs of the characters, I love how the blood actually drips down in a few scenes, how there is even sort of a parallel between Eurylochus at the beginning with the blood of his crewmates dripping down his face, and Eurylochus at the end with the blood of the cow dripping down his face - the damning of the rest of the crew. I love the artstyle in general, it's really hypnotic, and the anatomy is SO GOOD. I love how expressive the characters are too, Eurylochus tearing up at the start is really nice. Another comment mentions it but I also really like Odysseus using the blood to blind Eurylochus during their battle. The battle is really well animated and fluid, I love it a lot. I also love how the whole crew surrounds Odysseus during the mutiny, and how a few of them even have their own distinct designs... Odysseus still being hurt at the island, the cows are drawn so nicely too, and I love how trusting they are as well - the crew seemingly tying the one up with no real problems at all. The yellow shine in the cow's eye before the statue is even mentioned, into the yellow eye staring at Eurylochus after the cow has died. I also really like how Eurylochus is so out of it and distant, just like how he sounds in the song. He becomes more aware after killing the cow, enough to be afraid for his and his crew's future deaths, even if he's the one who caused it. I also like how he follows closely after Odysseus onto the ship as if to help him if he needs it, or if he falls, despite the mutiny not a few scenes ago... I just love it a lot in general. Thank you for making this!!!

Him being tied to Helios' statue is WILD and i thank you for the headcanon

THIS IS SO GOOD!!! I love Ody not getting the upper hand in the fight until he uses his cunning (flicking blood in Eurys eyes) and the COW???? The eye looking at Eurylochus gave me CHILLS

if you noticed the premiere timer suddenly jump down by 24 hours no you didn’t

3:53 Bessie has zero survival instincts lmao

I love how Eurylochus eyes look like they have no shine when on Helios island for the immortal cows vs Odysseus who still have that small detail of shine as he hasn't given up getting home. I think it trult shows how tired Eurylochus has become throughout the journey to try and get back to Ithaca. Especially cause he looks tired ontop of it! I love all the details inculded in this, just amazing!!

1:06 his tears cleaned some of the blood on his face. THE DETAIL

OOOOH! This is sooo good! The details?!?! Ody blinding Eury with the blood on the deck (the left overs of the six men)? Chefs kiss. The cow bleeding gold (something something mortal blood vs divine blood blah blah blah), its eye glazing over in gold and LOOKING at Eury after it was killed? So so so good! You did amazing! ❤

I absolutely fluffing love this. Eury’s eye’s dilating when he realizes who’s coming, Ody blinding him with the blood of his fallen friends to win the fight, making the animatic greyscale so the gold of the cows’s blood/eyes and red of Ody’s blood would pop out, lightning looking like angry off eyes, the cow’s eye being reflective, its pupil looking at Eury and so much more! I mean this is amazing and you are awesome! Edit: sorry for the grammar mistakes, I fixed them.

ODYSSUES USING HIS CREW'S OWN BLOOD TO BLIND EURYLOCHUS AND GET THE UPPER HAND????? INCREDIBLE. also the cow maybe still being alive is kind of horrifying and really emphasises how _wildly_ out of their depth they are (4:16)

This is probably the best mutiny animatic I've seen so far. Some things I liked especially: The range of emotions you captured on everyone's faces. Sooo good. Odysseus just blinding Eury with the blood of their friends like the cunning little bastard he is. Ody's wedding ring. The golden ichor the cow bled, and how it just looked at Eury after he slitted it's throat. _In this moment, he knew: he had fucked up_ Ody: WHEN WILL YOU LEARN. WHEN WILL YOU LEARN. THAT YOUR ACTIONS HAVE _CONSEQUENCES_

I love how the blood drops landed in sync with the "shut you down." It's a tiny but clever and cool detail.

I love the realization of Eurylochus after Odysseus said "Who do you think he'll send" regarding Helios asking Zeus for their punishment not before threating to stop shining in the surface, but shine in the udnerworld.

The thing I like about this one is the fact that the crew feels like they aren’t just bandwagoning, like the one who stabs Odysseus looks like he actually feels bad about what he did

3:00 i love that Eurylochus calls Odysseus "odie"

definitely one of the best Mutiny animatics i've seen. i loved how tired Eurylochus looks, and i feel like not a lot of animatics capture that very well, but yours did. the fight scene, Eury tearing up at the beginning and just how disconnected he looks when he killed the cow, the fact that Ody bleeds when he gets up because he hasn't fully recovered yet... amazing job! :D

The way the dead cow's pupil shifts to stare at the person who killed it is some horror level stuff and I love it.

Eurylochus' pupils shrinking after Ody says "Who do you think he'll send?" is soooooo good, incredible detail I can't stop watching it

The way the blood is the only colour?? The fight choregraphy? This is amazing!!!

This is sooo cinematic I LOVE it, it does Eurylochus’ suffering so well here, he’s literally covered in the blood that he unintentionally marked with the torches. The way you even used it in the fight with Ody’s wittiness is just peak. Amazing job

I really love that the chest wound actually affects Odysseus in this. It’s clear that Odysseus is seriously injured here. He struggles to move, he reopens the wound, and even bleeds through his bandages. It adds a level of depth and tragedy to the whole situation. Good job!

Details of blood, Odysseus using his wits to blind Eurylochus and Eurylochus looking just so tired (love the way he sits too) are so well done! And holy shit begging Odysseus is so beautiful at 3:22! And golden immortal blood!! 👏

1:56 I absolutely love how you drew the crew here. It tells so much story in just a single frame. The look of betrayal from Odysseus and the sadness and worry of the crew. He was their captain, king, friend, brother in-arms, and for Eury his brother in-law. As mad and resentful as they were they still viewed him as such. As a fellow commenter pointed out they still call him Captain and Ody respectively. Even more so they didn’t kill him. Many stories of mutiny have them trying to kill him due to the danger that leader would pose. They know Odysseus enough not to underestimate him. But still they just tie him up and treat his wounds instead. One could argue it’s because he is the king, but it is a Mutiny, those roles go out the window. Also the consensus portrayed by Eurylicous (who speaks for the crew) they never are going to get home so why even try. Even if they did to their knowledge Telemuchus is probably ruling by now since he is grown so it would actually save the trouble of whose going to rule. What I think is that it’s more that they all fought alongside each other and grown during their time at Troy and on their way back. A war that maybe Odysseus blames himself for bringing his men to. Not regretting it because it got him his top tier wife but still feeling guilty for the suffering. Especially with the added bonus of his first real mistake. With either anger (musical) or pride (original) getting the better of him he set their course by shouting his name. So this also concludes to why the choice for Odysseus is even more heartbreaking. Everyone can say it’s an easy choice cause they betrayed him but there is so much nuance and emotional depth that it makes it all the more tragic. Even when he gets home, even when he becomes the monster, he still will have every memory of the men he swore to lead. This might have been the general understanding already but I just wanted to appreciate that one frame. Anyway great art, ❤ it’s beautiful

The eyes of Zeus gave me chills!

I love how easily Odysseus breaks free of the ropes, implying he could’ve escaped the whole time but instead allowed eurylochus to make his own decision 4:16

I love how Eurylochus doesn't even deny ody when he says he'd have done the same. I think Eurylochus knows just as well as us that he's one of the main reasons they are in their current position. Imo Both Eurylochus and ody are hypocritical but I'm on ody's side here.

0:44 this is coming from the same guy who was willing to leave his "friends" with circe

Everything in this animation is perfect Eurylochus tears The fight between the brothers Odysseus bagging eurylochus to not kill the cows Odysseus run when he's injured Shouting faster when he was so afraid It's just perfect I LOVED EVERYTHING

I actually love this. So much. Especially because it gives a reason that Eurilochus and the others are suddenly listening to Odysseus again. The cow bleeds gold and the sky IMMEDIATELY thunders. Combine that with Odysseus of all people FREAKING THE F*CK OUT, any pretty much anyone would realize that they possibly made a mistake.

Making a list of things I abosluetly love about this animatic: 1: Its made my Riley G lol 2: Love the little detail at 1:30 during the fight of how Ody throws blood in Eury's eyes totally a cunning Ody move. 3: I LOVe how when Eury kills the cow instead of normal red blood it's golden ichor considering they are immortal. 4:05 4: Finally my god I love the lighting eyes for zeus at the end. 4:43

Toxic brother-in-laws.

This is the best epic animatic of Mutiny I’ve seen! It’s exactly what and Imagined while listening to this and more! It captures everyone’s emotions is looks awesome! Please make animations for the other songs in epic!

What I love about this animatic, other than the small details like Odysseus using the blood to blind Eurylocus, and not going in for the death blow, is the eyes of Eurylocus when hes talking about killing the cow. Hes already given up. In that moment, he's willing to risk everything for a meal, and it's not until he sees the ichor flowing in place of blood that he realizes the full weight of what hes done.

I can’t, the subtle shaking of Ody’s head as he pleads with Eury, the cows eye turning to look directly at Eury. This has done be one of the best animatics of any epic song I’ve seen

I LOVE THIS ANIMATION!!! the way the blood is the only thing colored, the way their expressions, how the lightnings in the end form a pair of eyes, those beautiful lashes in that cow and how it bleed ichor is SO GOOD, how ody was still wraped up from being impaled

I loved the tiny head shakes on Odysseus’s part when trying to tell Eurolychus not to eat the cows, and the lighting flashes at the end that looked like eyes.

Oh heck yeah! Just found out about EPIC the other day- and now there’s an animation here for it!

Odysseus landing in a pool of the crew’s blood, and even when he stands up, it’s still on his hands, how poetic

4:18 aw they wrapped his wound

The choice to make the cow spill Ichor instead of blood is genius. Because there supposed to be immortal, so of course they have the same liquid flowing through them as all other immortal beings. Just like how regular cows have blood in their veins same as humans.

THIS ANIMATIC. THIS IS THE ONE. I love seeing everyone's interpretations of Mutiny, but this is the one man. This is the sauce. I LOVE the way you did the whole island and cow scene with Ody tied up and still wounded and MMF I eat this up. Thank you for the meal.

2:03 I noticed how the blood drops hit the ground in the rhythm of the crew’s singing. that’s a really cool detail! Also I really liked the fight scene, it was hella smooth! I always imagine Ody to be a nimble fighter and the way he used his fallen comrades blood to blind Eurylochus perfectly showcases his cunning. It could also be a metaphor (Eurylochus’ rage blinds him into starting a fight and the rage comes from the sacrifice of the six men and later in the fight he literally gets blinded by blood idk if that makes sense). And overall i just love how expressive everyone is Also also THE WEDDING RING

ODYSSEUS THROWING THE BLOOD INTO EURYLOCOUS EYES?!? THE COWS EYE LOOKING AT HIM AFTER HES SUPPOSE TO BE SLAIN?!? THE ANIMATION?!? This is SO GOOD

Eurylochus on his way to stop the crew from reaching home when they almost conquered all the obstacles in their path for a second time.

OMG THIS IS AMAZING. I love how in Eurylochus' opening the grief, disbelief and sheer agony is so much more emphasized than anger. How we see the regret on Odesseus' face. Him using the blood of his friends to blind Eurylochus is genuis. The way the terror and horror that sets in Eurylochus' eyes once he realises what his actions have done. Just chef's kiss.

The "dead" cows eye rolling to look at Eurylochus is SO good. Like this entire thing is just phenomenal but I am obsessed with that shot Also I don't know what y'all in this fandom are eating but the speed these high quality animatics are getting churned out is absolutely rabid and if yall could direct me to who to sell my soul to to be able to do this, that would be great thanks

Found your animatic yesterday with my wife and needed to sit on it overnight to sort my thoughts out. Eurylochus' expression journey at the beginning is so emotive and gripping. He's so desperate in hoping he didn't completely lose the friend he knew in Odysseus. The tear tracks on Eury cutting through the blood spray and leading to a drip down his neck. Wow the attention to detail. Huge props for the accurate ship design with the set in rowing positions. Ody tossing blood to hinder Eury ties well into the whole cunning and guile side of him. Seeing the crew handling Ody with care after stabbing him was a good touch down to their remorseful looks. Same with the crew member helping Eury up from the deck. Ody being cleaned, bandaged up, and tied to the sun god statue helpless to what's about to happen but wanting desperately for them to not proceed was so well done. Also! Your cows are so beautifully drawn and animated we both wanted to pet them. The scream we scrempt when the cow's blood was gold is where I started holding my breath because this scene was made much more intense through your art. They eye gleaming gold before Eury approached was a nice, subtle touch. The eye turning gold and rolling to focus on Eury was heart stopping. Ody breaking free from his binding to attempt to save the crew (himself) at cost to his physical wellbeing was gut wrenching. As was Eury attempting to wrangle Ody but hesitating to even touch him, just hovering instead. Fantastic piece. I highly look forward to seeing what you come out with in the future.

I love eye animations. You managed to convey, the anger of betrayal, the exhaustion of hunger, the desperate pleading and the realization and horror of the crew and Odysseus.

I LOVE THE DETAIL OF ODY STILL LIMPING FRON THE STAB WOUND BECAYSE I DINT SEE MANY PPL DO THAT!!! AND ALSO HOW EURY TRIES HELPING HIM GET ON THE BOAT IM. SOBBING.

You can see the intense gap within Odysseus and Eurylochus' power dynamic, while his face is lacking fat making the face look more defined and showing extreme cheek bone, Ody looks healthy (or at least tried to look presentable in this animatic). Ody has his cape with a noticeable brooch, showing status higher than Eurylochus. Eurylochus, on the other hand, is just in rags like the others, but his bigger sword seems to show how he is willing to take bigger risks to survive Idk just a thought

I just love the look of horror on Eurylochus’ face when he realizes just what or rather ,who, Odysseus means when he asks “who do you think he’ll send?” It’s such a small but beautifully done scene that I can’t get enough of.

This is by far my favorite mutiny fight ever , I love the way Odysseus used the blood to confuse him it's both so cool and so creepy , like he literally had the blood of his men on his hands

Those are some fine looking teeth at 0:20 (¬‿¬ ) Even after a decade of war, then facing gods & monsters, he still brushes his teeth. He has standards.

I LOVE the detail about the cows' having ichor instead of blood because they're the immortal cattle of Helios.

You really nail the exhaustion and hopelessness in Eurylochus’ face 💔 and the way he’s sitting there with Odysseus, back turned, when he comes to? Exactly how I imagined it.

Eurylichos and the crew have no right to do this after the bag. Also, the cow moving their eye in order to show it's still alive, showcasing the immortality...Chef's kiss.

Gods the details in this are absolutely incredible. The eye of the “dead” cow. The blood used during the fight… This is going in my epic playlist for sure.

Your animation captures the despair of Eurylochus perfectly. Like at this point is so tired, starved and traumatized that even when he knows something is going to go to shit he can't stop. There is a chilling idea that he may be wanting to at some point (like let these bastard gods ends us now and get over with it)

YEES oh my gosh the choice to have the cow's blood be golden?! The slain cow's eyes rolling to look at Eurylochus?! SOOO GOOD!!!!

I can’t remember if i commented already or not but the expressions on Odysseus’ and Eurylocus’ faces are IMMACULATE. When he kills the cow, when Odysseus realizes what’s happened, when Eury realizes what’s happening, When Ody is screaming “FASTER!” This is such a real talent omg. Absolutely beautiful

THOUGHTS the blood left on the ship is brutal ODY FLICKING THE BLOOD INTO EURYS EYES DURING THE FIGHT OH MY GODS the whole scene of ody being stabbed is a masterpiece. IM SO GLAD PEOPLE ARE REMEMBERING THEYN TIED HIM TO THE STATUE AND WRAPPED HIS WOUND eury sitting there like he was waiting for ody to wake up. HAVING THE STATUE ON A HILL SO WHEN EURY GOES TO KILL THE COW ODY CAN DO NOTHING BUT WATCH AND PLEAD AAAAAAAAAAAA the golden blood on eury. holy helios 10/10 will watch again ill be back here a lot. amazing job!

AAH OMG!! Ody's flinch at 0:58 literally KILLED ME this animatic is literally SO GOOD I MIGHT DIE

God what a wonderful animatic. The amount of *weight* there is to their attacks during the incredibly smooth fight scene, the fact that Odysseus uses his wits and momentarily blinds Eurylochus with blood, the golden ichor, the dead cow's eye seeing Odysseus and the crew... so so so many good moments. The expressions throughout all of this is fantastic too. The split second after "Who do you think he'll send?!" where you can SEE the realization in Eury's eyes. Gaaaah thank you so much for making this.

I like how the lighting looks like an angry pair of eyes. Zeus: You done goofed.

I love your take on this so much! FIrst of all. Oddy flinging Eurylochus's dead freinds blood at him to throw him off was brutal! It's also the first version of this song where the crew seems broken up about what they're doing. Having them being emotionally exshausted and tired as well, instead of just angry really adds to the emotion. Even if it's not the cannon. Lastly you captrued a broken, tired, and diminished Eurylochus so well in the second half. It's so good!

There’s so many FANTASTIC details in this animatic. The slow dripping and expanding of blood, the changes in the eyes and pupils when one of them realizes something, and the little bits of characterization like Odysseus cleverly using the blood on the ship to stop Eurylochus for a moment. Amazing job :)))

4:34 That look when Eury realizes he fcked up.

Seeing Ody start out the initial fight dwarfed by Eurylochus but using the BLOOD OF HIS SACRIFICED CREWMATES to gain the upper hand made me gasp, beautifully portrayed, incredible!! I also really love thinking of the symbolism there, of Odysseus callously using the dead’s blood to show how far he’s willing to go, while Eurylochus ends up blinded by said blood. Blinded by the rage and unfiltered horror at his Captain’s actions, ultimately acting out in mutiny not just as an individual but also as the chorus of the remaining crew’s desire to lash out. GAH, I’m in love with this animatic you have no idea! I also just checked and was pleasantly surprised to see that you’re Mudpaw’s creator! Incredibly exciting to see you branch off into EPIC!

Wow, this is awesome! Love the fight scene, the expressions, and the fact that Odysseus's injury shown to be more serious than just something he walks off. Also, the cow's eye moving to look at Eurylicus was so spooky. Well done!

The way you used the volour of blood in this is masterful! How so much of the blood was coating Eurylochus at the beginning to show the hell he just went through and BARELY survived. Odysseous using the blood of his own crew, the crew HE sacrificed, to blind Eurylochus in the fight. And then the cows- THE COWS. The golden blood and the slight foreshadowing with their eyes also being the only thing with colour, the golden colour. Eurylochus coated in golden blood while Odysseous parallels him in the beginning as he's coated in red- THIS is the best Mutiny anamatic, in my opinion. Also the expressions through out! OH GODH... I love it.

This fight scene was so, so well done. I've seen some versions where Odysseus just completely dominates the battle, but I loved the decision to have Eurylochus have the upper hand in a fair fight and Odysseus immediately making it an unfair one, using the blood of his dead shipmates as a weapon! It fits so well with his crafty nature and emphasizes the horror and desperation of their situation. Your depiction of how broken Eurylochus is on the island is perfect, too, and the colors of the blood (AND THE ICHOR!!!) against greyscale was an inspired touch. This was a really great animatic!

Your expressions are SO good, Eurolychus goes from like absolutely losing it at the thought of what Odysseus had just done to furious to.. tired. Of trusting Odysseus, of hoping they'll see things through, of being the second in command Odysseus asked him to be. You can see, his eyes, his face, sitting there looking out at those cows, he's just.. so tired.
