yahoo im finally completed im freeee 🥳🥳🥳 (no im probably gonna make another animatic rightafter this) anyways i hope u enjoyed this as much as i do, i feel like i couldve done better but oh well ig
Hii!! i'd just like to thank you all for all the support you've given this video! I did not think this would blow up as much as it did but I'm super thankful!!! thank you all so so much and I'll do my best to make even better animatics for all of you in the future 🫶🫶
It's interesting how you focused on siren's expression when Ody asked her about Poseidon. Haven't seen that before, that makes the "oh no" part so more sarcastic lol
Omg I love how absolutely FURIOUS she looks when Odysseus turns away after answering his question. And the fear when she sees the bow!!! You are so amazing
Okay this is probably my favourite animatic of "Suffering" now because of various things like the little details and expressions but also because of well the hair tuck
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!
The siren is subtly fishy, in a great way! I love the sharp teeth and nails, seeing her grab Odysseus's wrist was neat! Beginning it with the beautiful motion of the rowing and entrance into the cave was a nice touch
OOOO I love this take on the Siren’s behavior here!!! The way she gets so frustrated with Odysseus not giving her what she wants, her actually contemplating his question, her reaction when she realizes she’s been tricked, SO so cool!!
This is so good!!! The way they are both looking so in love when they face each other and so damn manipulative when their face is turned away😳 The beginning too, when we can see the sirens silhouette before she assumes the appearance of Penelope
Love how you portrayed the siren with black eyes when she was "seeing" which route Odysseus had to take, like she was using magic to see beyond. Also her face when she says well you asked and now you know was so idk man it seems like a you problem lmao Also the * hair tuck* 👉👈🥺 - perfection (lowkey scared of the last Odysseus panel)
The idea of him twirling his hair behind his head is just such a good one the community made, but ALSO THE KAWAII FACE- also I love how the syren actually ponders where Odysseus can pass to get home
0:57 Ooh, I like how the siren gets angry and impatient, but Odysseus looks unfazed. And her impatience when repeating 'I would take the suffering from you!" towards the end is really funny.
Ok i think this is my favorite animatic I've seen of this song, it conveys the expressions so well. I love how she agrees to answer his question, then gets tired of his yapping but at this point she has to go along so she just replies with "oh no" in a fake-concerned way. I also love how she treats the question like a puzzle she has to think a solution for and when he doesn't jump she just get increasingly more frustrated Edit: also i didn't see anyone mention this but her feet aren't feet, they look more fins it's so funny how she taps them like they were feet while thinking about the question
i like how before every fight the name of the threat is said repeatedly, so the sirens singing "penelope" is telling us that they're a threat (if the "jump in the water" lines and Odysseus' trick questions didn't make it obvious)
I love this animatic because it shows the siren actually thinking through the problem and then having a dawning revelation. Even a thin facsimile of Penelope has enough of her intelligence to help him think through a solution.
omg i love how you show how done the siren is with ody with the foot tapping and expressions also ody's finger twiddling, debbie ryan hair tuck, and the anime face on top of that is just perfect 😭
I'm pretty sure the point is that sirens can't read minds. Also most people in ancient Greece would have more than one kid, so she probably was assuming there was a high chance he had to have at least one daughter. Not like she could know he was forced to leave home after having only one son.
@@Troublethecatokay so fun fact! According to the creator the way that these sirens work is that once you hear the music and come under their spell they can read your mind perfectly. However since they had beeswax in it couldn’t quite take hold. So while they are able to read his mind, it’s basically all half truths. Like they know what Penelope looks like, but they don’t know details of what she knows about him. They know he has one child with her, but thinks it’s a daughter and not a son.
Imagine him coming home and settling down with his beloved wife and son ,days pass ,but one day he suddenly gets a glimpse of the ocean and realizes that his hand and heart tremble in fear "I'm scared of the water"
I was thinking this! After everything he experiences getting back home, he would certainly have a phobia of ever leaving Ithaca again, right? Including ever stepping foot in the water?
LOVE this! Her steadily growing frustration, his toying with her, the looming shadow over her right after her "oh nooo"?? You wonderfully captured how Odysseus is the apex predator here. Well done! My favourite animatic for this song so far
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
2:01 the moment that line started I literally said out loud to myself don’t do it and he did it XD THIS IS GOING TO BE CANNON NOW- This is amazing. I love the details on how she gets frustrated at the end and she looks at the bow and arrow, saying how it’s gone, realizing that he grabbed it.
God this is sooo good! The first shot when you see the bow and and arrows sitting out of her sight, when she does the little taps with her tail and just all of the facial expressions!! So much details I love it
You completed it, and it's incredible!!!! The expressions and emotions in your art always draw me in like one of the sirens 😂 The way you're able to convey a million ideas through faces and actions is a wonder. Some of my favourite examples of this are: - The siren and how she slowly becomes more and more aggravated with Odysseus. The way she goes from lying to bored to straight-up pissed off is so fun to watch! All until it's too late, and she notices the bow, it's so genius!! - The character design of the siren and how you show her maturity as Penelope would be, the siren eyes when she's tippy tapping her feet and actually thinking about something in-depth and the siren drawing at the end.. such a cool concept to think about. - Finally, I love how you show Odysseus throughout. Besides the goofy 'Penelope why' scene which I loved, you draw him with such a knowing and cunning expression throughout it all, and the way he shows his back to her so often that it becomes second nature until he draws the bow on her 😮 Sorry for the ramble, but this animatic was so fun to watch, and i had so many thoughts and feelings watching it!!! 💛
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!
The expressions are amazing, they look great, your art is so pretty! I'll never get tired of animators making Odysseus all uwu in the "I'm too shy and terrified" part while the siren is losing it 😂
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!
This is incredible i love how the siren was great more and more angry with him, and the face when she saw the bow and arrows as well as the face of Ody at the end is just wow
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 LOVE THIS. I loved the snippet you showed us prior, but the full one is here! Anyways, as stated prior, i adore the design for odysseous and Siren!Penelope, and the unique little design you showed at 2:31. I love how odysseous acted the whole time, being somewhat saddened at seeing his "wife", remmaining a trickster the whole time. I also love Siren!Penelope, how she slowly loses her sanity at this stubborn guy, how she considers the question he asks her, , and the look at 2:26 when she realizes she's f*cked. Thanks for making it.
i love how now ive seen two people make him like tuck his hair or do the 👉👈🥺 on "you know im too shy and terrified" I WAS LIKE "GET OUT OF MY HEAD" 😭 like if i could DRAW AND ANIMATE THATD BE AMAZING SO I COULD DO IT TOO
Lovely details, the nails that verge on claw like when she grabs his arm, the way her tapping foot looks more and more like fin as we focus on it, her seriously considering the question of avoiding Poseidon, him coyly brushing his hair past his ear, and especially how she notices the bow and arrow and realizes he's on to her! So much great stuff.
