Scylla | Epic the Musical Full Song Animatic 

I’d love to chat!! Feel free to comment any questions or parts you liked! Thanks for watching! 🎉

I love the turmoil shown in and between Eurylochus and Odysseus, it makes them feel so much more human. Especially with Odysseus saving Eurylochus, it's almost like the old him is still there. And though he's more than willing to cut some losses if it means he'll be able to get home, Odysseus still cares, to a degree. I guess there's just some things you can't shake, and this portrayal of their friendships fraying but not yet snapping is beautiful.

*six not-Euryochus dudes hold the torches* Me: huh ok *Eury picks up a torch* *Ody tackles him to safety* Me: SCREAMING

I LOVED the Scylla reveal. With the silhouette, you go "oh, that's Scylla," but then it zooms out even more and you're just met with the shocking realization that she is SO much bigger and terrifying!!

agreeing with others that Odysseus saving Eurylochus makes things cut deeper... especially leading into the next song. Eury is already smart enough to put the dots together that the torches were the marker of sacrifice, but this would only confirm his answer before he even asks the question

That is a different take love it! It makes sense odysseus cares for Eurylochus and won't let him die. Like dude is literally married to odysseus's sister

This animatic sums up what I thought perfectly! In Suffering, as soon as Siren Penelope said “the lair of Scylla”, his face (and the music) dropped. He knew about Scylla and the price that would need to be paid to get through. The guy was already stressed, scared, and upset about what he was about to do, so add that to Eurylochus’s confession over the fact he was the reason they weren’t home now because he went against his captain/king/brother’s order, anger was added to his already negative feelings. He didn’t want to sacrifice more of his men, but he felt like he didn’t have a choice. He’s going to do anything at this point to get back to his home and family. But here, his regrets are clear! He doesn’t want to do this! His heart breaks for the men he is knowingly sacrificing for them to get through. And when he realizes Eurylochus is about to be taken, all that anger he felt is gone and saves him. Amazing!!!

I loved how you portrayed Eurylochus & Odysseus relationship. Eury looks heartbroken in his confession, like the betrayal he committed was devastating him, & then Odysseus walking away & leaving him on his knees only to show that he is also crying. And then saving Eurylochus because that’s still his brother oh god, this just makes the imminent mutiny all the more tragic

Love Scylla's design in this, there's almost 3 separate layers of her and its awesome. I also love how much emotion the tears show by just being on there faces, and Eurylochus literally getting on his knees and begging for forgiveness as tears run down his face and Odysseus starts crying himself realizing what this means was just peak ngl. Also beautiful art style, keep this up amazing work!

I think this is the first one iv seen where Ody saves him and I love that! He totally would, mad and hurt as he is... you are so talented ❤❤❤

I love that Eurylochus is left on his knees when Odysseus walks away angry and hurt from his actions, especially after Odysseus pulls his hand away which really just adds to the pain! Also when Odysseus saves Eurylochus from Syclla im sure that it would make munity so much more painful for Odysseus because even as upset as he was he still saved his friend, and technically brother in law, from her cause he still has some part of him that cares for Eurylochus. It truly just makes that betrayal and act of treason (Odysseus being the King of Ithaca and all-) so much more hurtful! Amazing work!!!

this is a fascinating take!!!! we all know that eurylochus realizes what's going on by the end of this song, and that creates the tension that leads into mutiny, but with the way you had odysseus saving eurylochus, this was the first time i've seen an interpretation where they both know what they both know, and neither of them could deny it if they wanted to. it's so interesting!!! on the one hand, it shows odysseus still caring deeply for eurylochus, not completely lost to getting himself home to penelope. but on the other hand, picking and choosing who's allowed to be a casualty of his reunion with penelope is somehow worse than turning his back and letting the sacrifices be blindly distributed. also, i loved the visual detail of the crew with the oars being on a physically lower level than odysseus and eurylochus. i don't know if i could articulate why, but it's striking. it's that passive, wary watching of odysseus and the way he's been sliding in a worrying direction. you get the sense that they feel less exposed down there, almost protected... but from their own captain. fantastic work, thanks for sharing!

ODYSSEUS DIVING IN TO SAVE EURYLOCHUS???? And your Scylla design is so amazing wow. I need to go rewatch this several times now

This is the first animatic I've seen that has Odysseus show emotion over the men he's about to sacrifice, and I LOVE IT!

I think as far as animated versions of Scylla I have seen go, appearance-wise, this one is definitely the most terrifying

Oh I really like this interpretation of the song where Odysseus saves Eurylochus... makes his betrayal in Mutiny all the more devastating

Amazing! I love the addition of Ody consciously saving Eury - "There's no length I wouldn't go if it was you I had to save," Also your design for Scylla is fantastic!

WOAAAH LOOK AT THAT SCYLLA DESIGN !! MY JAW DROPPED

1:41 There are no words to describe the level of ADRENALINE i felt seeing this exact shot! Scylla is so terrifying omggggg

You took Jorge’s description of Scylla, absolutely R A N with it and I’m in love!!

Holy Jesus, that's one of the most terrifying takes on Scylla I've seen; her human body being the 'tongue' of and even bigger ""human"" body is trippy as hell, that's great stuff! Also, the expressions in this are on point. Odysseus flits between hardened resolve and VERY clear guilt, shown best when he saved Eurylochus. Even in a situation where he knows not all of his men are making it, him wanting to save the man that's like his brother despite the no doubt complex emotions running through the situation (Eurylochus could be said to a pretty big reason they've had to take this route to start with by opening the wind bad, so Odysseus blaming him wouldn't be beyond doubt) is good stuff. And I think it works in a dramatic sense, since it leads into Mutiny really well, with all these emotions reaching a fever pitch. Great stuff!

You're really good with expressions also you did something really unique and have Odysseus push Eurylochus out of the way

Me: oh, that Scylla isn’t that scary. -2 seconds later- Me: OH!! THAT SCYLLA IS MORTIFYING!! Holy s***!!!

YOUR SCYLLA LOOKS AWESOME!!! 😮

The way you showed Eurylochus' guilt was good. Also the Scylla design was so amazing, making her in a giant creature. I find it interesting how Odysseus saves Eurylochus because it was such a unique take.

I love the way you show Eurylochus apologizing to Odysseus. This is one of few that I’ve seen him apologize and the way you make it makes it feel so real ✨🙏✨

I love how no matter the animatic everyones designs of Scylla really nail home that "terrifying monster that is impossible to fight". Sure the Crew get on Ody later for not fighting but is was mentioned by the Sirens that even Poseidon himself is scared of her and in the original Odyssey, Scylla cannot be fought. She lives on top of an UNREACHABLE CLIFF and if you sail to close she eats you (and if you sail too far away Charybdis kills you.). She is also said to be an IMMORTAL MONSTER. EVEN HERC COULDN'T KILL HER AND HE IS KNOWN FOR KILLING IMMORTAL THINGS OR AT THE VERY LEAST FIGHITNG IMMORTAL POWERFUL THINGS. This is one man and his crew of like 40 peeps.

Firstly, I LOVE all the character designs in this, especially Scylla! Not only is she a woman who became a monster, but her humanity is visually devoured by making her human form the luring tongue in the mouth of a much greater beast! Brilliant! But what really gets me is Odysseus tackling Eurylochus and knocking the torch out of his hand. It goes to show what I think a lot of people are missing - that despite his betrayal Odysseus sees Eurylochus as his brother and given the choice he would sacrifice any of the crew over him. Even if he'd chose to sacrifice them all for Penelope.

This with suffering is so good. He's so hesitant in suffering to sacrifice his men, but when he hears Eurylochus's confession, he becomes even more determined to push through. In the end though, he doesn't want to sacrifice Eurylochus, pushing him out of the way, like oml

Your art style is so clean and pretty, it reminds me of sculptures in a way

Odysseus saving Eurylochus is so great. It puts suspicion that Ody KNEW what was going to happen and makes the future betrayal even worse.

THERE IS SO MUCH ABOUT THIS THAT I LOVE! I always enjoy people’s different interpretations of how Odysseus feels about sacrificing his men. and even though it’s not my personal interpretation, it’s really cute how he saves Eury from Scylla, it still shows his ruthlessness through his disparity and how he sees certain members of his crew being worth more to him, when Eury saw them all as family and even losing one was devastating to him

Ok but the movements are so good, and your expressions are amazing! I love the moment the silhouette pans out and you see just how _massive_ Scylla really is. She looks just like Jay’s description of how he imagines Scylla, too! I think this is the first animatic I’ve seen where Odysseus _actively saves_ Eurylochus, instead of him just dropping his torch, and it’s such a heart-wrenching take because despite what Eury just confessed, despite everything that’s happened, Ody still _cares,_ and yet this act is almost certainly the thing that clues Eury in to the fact that Ody knew the torchbearers would be killed, leading to him turning on him in Mutiny, and Ody probably recognizes that, and _that’s_ what’ll finally sell him on the “ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves” take, and it’s so tragic! Once again, mercy is his undoing… 😭 Ok I’m done rambling. Wonderful job!

Wow! What I really liked in your animatic is that Odysseus saves Eurylochus. In other animatics it feels like Odysseus no longer cares for him. I like both approaches but I really enjoyed finally seeing the first taking form in your video!

2:00 this was absolutely terrifying in my opinion.

This is absolutely amazing. I adore your Scylla design(the goat like horns are a great touch). And the amount of detail here is so smooth. The scene where Odyssey’s walking away from Eurylochus is so good….

Scylla's design is INSANE. I will be thinking about it for the next several days. Thank you very much.

1:36 WHAT. IN THE EVERLOVING. FUCK! Is that nightmare fuel? God that’s awesome. That’s the most bat crap insane Scylla design I’ve ever seen!

I love how if appears that Scylla is taking revenge for the sirens deaths especially with the line "choke on your blood"

I LOVVEEE THIS INTERPRETATION OMG ODYSSEUS SAVING EUROLYCHUS is such a choice and I'm obsessed with it. This whole animatic is so well done and gorgeous, all your character designs are fabulous, ESPECIALLY SCYLLA'S. SO SO GOOD!!!

Scylla’s voice is INCREDIBLE! I love your art style too, Odysseus’s expressions were amazing

Scylla gave me chills! I love this so much. I feel like I was there!

Holy shit! This was amazing! One of my favourite Scylla designs that I've seen. With everything you've done in this animatic, anything you do with Mutiny is just going to grind what's left of my broken heart into dust. The relationship between Odysseus and Eurylochus here is just so - I honestly can't put it into words because you've made my brain into mush afksldjgfksdflsdf

Nicely done! I assume you saw Jorge's short about what he envisioned Scylla would be? Because if not, then boy howdy, you gotta get in contact with the man, because you are STRAIGHT UP channeling his vision.

Wow, I love this so much! You show the emotion between Ody and Eury amazingly! Very well done!

oh wow. Eurylochus not realizing and Odysseus haing to save him was like a punch to the spleen, amazing

I love how Huge Scylla is, it's like Woah Also, that the screams match up with the deaths, though I always have trouble telling

This is the first Animatic where I've seen Odysseus save Eurylochus from Scylla! Others either have Eurylochus either drop the torch, or hand it off to someone else! Nice to think Odysseus still cares about Eurylochus instead of setting him up as bait.

We love a good scylla design! Also, like everyone else pointed out, I love the way you depicted ody saving eury, instead of him just accepting the loss and eury trying to save their friends. Awesome

So… my friends are literally the coolest ❤ THIS IS INSANE

The artwork for this is absolutely gorgeous, I love how you portray Scylla! I gotta say though, Odysseus knocking Eury out of the way makes the rest of the saga SO much more painful...so of course it's going on the "this interpretation is canon to me no matter what" list 😭

Love your Scylla design. The classic with just the many heads and the woman's upper body is good but this really feels like a monster even Poseidon himself would fear

Gosh, Eurylochus broke my heart in this animatic. Like. I have always loved him. From the very beginning. And you did him beautiful justice. His and Odysseus's interactions are so filled with their shared past and their affection for each other and the moment Eurylochus realized that Odysseus was using the man carrying the torches as baits/sacrifices and immediately snatched one and Odysseus seeing it and jumping in to save him and Eurylochus begging for forgiveness in the beginning and Odysseus in the beginning crying about what he is about to do (and knowing about Mutiny and Thunderbringer) and and and (I just love it. This is by far my favourite animatic of this song so far) (I will now go on and pretend that Mutiny and Thunderbringer don't exist and somehow everyone lives Happily Ever After)

Absolutely incredible Scylla reveal! My skin was crawling at the gorgeous monstrosity of her. That would give anyone nightmares to encounter! And having Odysseus tackle Eurylochus at the end was a take I had never considered, but so, so completely beautiful and heartbreaking. From the desperate "I can't lose you, too!" Odysseus is screaming inside to the horrible, dawning understanding on Eurylochus' face that there was more here going on than he first understood...ah, brilliance!

The expressions are just so good! Plus that Scylla design is excellent as well! I also appreciate Odysseus saving Eurylochus despite a lot of other animatics I've seen have Eurylochus as a torchbearer initially, with Ody trying to get rid of him because of the wind bag. Amazing work!

I LITERARY WENT "OH SHIT" WHEN I SAW THE SCYLLA REVEAL YOOO ANOTHER GREAT EPIC THE MUSICAL ANIMATIC

I really hope Jorge sees this video, it's so good.

Every time I see your work I’m amazed, and when I saw that Scylla design my stomach DROPPED. Absolutely terrifying, fantastic work

Holy crap the ending where the other guy got eaten by Scylla because Odysseus pushed the man with the torch out of the way. And the guy wasn't even carrying a torch made me gasp. Talk about guilt, holy shit!! This whole animatic was excellent!!

I LOVE YOUR DESIGN FOR SCYLLA

this is one of the best animations of scylla that i've seen so far

HOLYYYYYY I LOVE THE HUMANITY IN ODY!!! The fact that he saved Eurylochus, jeez, that's special. Congrats!! You're so talented! 🤧🤧

This is my favorite Scylla so far!

Scylla's design in *chef's kiss* What a GREAT animation. Loved the expressions.

Love this! Holy! Even if it's just 2.5 minutes, you put all the emotions in the little details. The kneeling down on the, "Please forgive me?!" Not saying anything just letting the hand go and walking away with a tear coming down. At the end, Syllia says, "You and I are not so different we do what we do to survive" showing the silhouette of Syllia in the eyes of Odysseus and him singing softly with her, "You and I." And the little details in the fights make it quick but simultaneously terrifying and emotional! OH! My Whumpt/Angst Writer in me is just screaming, with joy! This is the physical view we Writers try to convey in our writing during Whumptober! *Chef's Kiss* to all the Artists! Such Talent you all have!

This is incredible, it really makes Scylla feel like an unstoppable force and a gatekeeper. Maybe I'm just a sucker for hot monster women though

chills! absolute chills! I could feel Ody's pain... aw man

Ohmygod you had no right to have Eurylochus on his knees holding Odysseus' hand as he is begging for forgiveness HOW DARE YOU. This was AMAZING! Fantastic job, great interpretation of the song!! I like your style!

1:37 Bruh, Eurylochus got FLUNG- no *YEETED* back.

I love the fact that the fandom just decided Eurylochus has a big anime sword

I think you made the most terrifying Scylla and fulfilled Jay's vision

Omg your Scylla design has to be my favorite!!! This is so good!! I am in LOVE!!!!! 🤍

I love your scylla design! I haven’t seen anyone else give her horns before- makes her look a bit like a tiefling!

ok, that move with Ody saving Eury is dramatic, especially in your artstyle... now imagine if in the end of the Thunder bringer Eury, let's say, pushes Ody away from the lightning the same way, talks his final phrases while in contact and then being STABBED by Ody. Moment when the last glimpse of open arms and good ending and thrown off the wall)

The second death was amazing. I really enjoyed this animatic

Fucking love your interpretation. I never understood how ody could instantly turn on his first mate and brother in law

Eurylochus and Odysseus’s facial expressions??? Your version of Scylla??? ODY SAVING EURYLOCHUS???? ohhh I fear you ate with this animatic

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL OMGGGG

first time i’ve seen ody actually save eury from scylla! i always imagined that eury had a torch but ended up passing it to someone else, like ody had intended to sacrifice eury after his confession. but here, eury didn’t have a torch from the start and ody saved him when he *did* pick up a torch. and i absolutely LOVE it!!! i’d imagine it would be difficult for ody to sacrifice his men knowingly, even after becoming the monster. despite eury’s betrayal, ody still does care to some degree (since eury is his brother-in-law after all) and he was willing to sacrifice some men, but not eury. sorry for the rambling i’m just really in love with your animatic and the portrayal of the characters 😭😭

Loved the animatic, but why did you make Scylla so pretty? I forgot she was suppose to be a monster watching this. lol. Great character design though, loved your art style

Your art is so beautiful! Love the details a lot~ Also, Scylla is GORGEOUS

YOOOOO this looks awesome!! I love how you drew Scylla, keep up the great work :D

I love this sm omg ❤❤ The art style is so amazing and the animatic is very beautiful Also, love Ody saving Eury in this version (Also, im sorry for any mistakes, english is not my first language)

Okay, yeah, this is the best animatic I've seen of this track. No questions asked.

You definitely followed Jorge’s vision of Scylla. Great animatic! ❤

I love how you made Odysseus save Eurorychos(I dunno how to write) but I do think what you could made these faster to give this more adrenaline and slow donw if you want in the yom yom moment

1:52 The tear dropping was so smooth.

I Love this! I already commented on how much I positively adore your designs for odysseous, Eurylychus, and the Ship, but now that we get to see the full design of scylla, the human-like body(althlugh still rather mounstrous) inside the giantic mouth being awesomre. i also positively adore how gigantic scylla, 1:37 and 2:05 helping to demonstrate this, and implying that she's at least somewhat doing this for pleasure, since it is unlikely without magic shennanigans that much nutrition is derived from them. I also love the scenes between Eurylychus ad odysseous, his cool anger and disappointment, yet how even then he can't bear to watch the brother of his sister with whom he's fought in troy for years perish. And Eurylychus being shocked by scylla and the destruction they are helpless to fight, and how betrayed he is at odysseou's actions during the fight, and how they were led there. Also, I don't think I mentioned it last time but the water and the tears are animated beautifully. One of the things I like too, is how the crew are given faces and designs, if a bit more simplistic than Eurylychus, Odysseous, and Scyllas design. It really helps bring into it that it's truly real people that odysseous is sacrificing, and I love that odysseous saves eurylychus at the expense of another crew member, when I frankly think Eurylychus would have rather sacrifice himself, unlike odysseous who is willing to sacrifice all others i order to get back home. I absolutely adore this animatic, it's awesome!

OHHHH! YOUR SCYLLA DESIGN IS SICKKKK! WELL DONE

Jorge did say if it was up to him the design for Scylla would look like this somgreat job

OOOOOHHHH SIIIIIIII!! TENEMOS ANIMATIC COMPLETO! Estuve esperando por esto y estuvo muy bueno, 10/10 🎉💖

Okay I think this is the first animatic where Eurylochus actually looks sorry and BEGS Ody for forgiveness. And I think it’s amazing.

Scylla went om nom nom :> She such a cool character

I really like the take of Odysseus not trying to get Eurylochous killed here, even though it's not canon. I would love to see an animatic that combines both the canon of Jorge's vision and this take: my idea would be that Eurylochous at first is holding a torch like in canon, but Odysseus realizes that even though he's angry he doesn't actually want him dead at the last minute and saves him, and then someone else dies instead. I think that would be a really cool idea and would love to see that. I feel like it would show the complexities of their relationship at this point really well.

I love the Scylla design

wow, wow, wow, I absolutely love how Odysseus saved Eurolychus. the animation in this is amazing and so smooth. not to mention, why did you have to draw Scylla so pretty? you know angler fish, with the light to lure fish in. scylla was giving the same vibe. a pretty woman luring sailors in so that she can eat them. I don't know if that's what you intended but I absolutely loved it

Something I've contemplated is "couldn't they have sacrificed 6 sirens to scylla?" But also come to realize "Perhaps he planned to use what was remaining of the wind bag? And it feels like that in this animatic. That there was no other option, Eurylochus had doomed them by opening that windbag and Ody had to come up with a new plan and quickly.

To have Odysseus so clearly hurt by Eurylochus' confession and still save him at the end is very powerful, especially if you know what's coming next. And the Scylla design raises the intriguing question of which part(s) is/are in control. It's clear it's the smaller, most human head is singing, but what about the larger head that she's inside?

*SOB* Ohh, Ody saved him... and gave himself away there, but it would've been puzzled out anyway. I love your Scylla design from top to bottom, and understand why Poseidon won't go anywhere near her. Brava!

I find it funny how confrontation Eurylochus is in the next song, after just admitting that he got over 500 people killed by opening the bag compared to 6 by Odysseus
