welp that took quite some time ahah It's my first ever animatic so don't be too harsh on me original music by Jorge Rivera-Herrans from EPIC: The Troy Saga musical @JayHerrans
An animation with great art AND shows Nestor as old, Neo as young, and 'Ajax will stay back' meaning he'll cover their back end with his bow and not some 'hide from the fight' thing? Hell yea, followed.
I love the fact that Neo kicks down the doors in his shot. It feels both childish and badass at the same time, which fits, because he’s *TWELVE* in the Iliad.
@@eowynsisterdaughter No, he's literally 12 (maybe only 10), because the Iliad is only about the last few weeks of the Trojan War that has been going on for 10 years by the point they finally managed to storm Troy via the horse. Neoptolemus joined the war effort in the same last few weeks, after they lost Achilles. He only looks all grown up because grandma Thetis supposedly fed him nectar/ambrosia, so while his body might look like an adult, he is actually just a child. (He was born 10 years ago, before Achilles came to fight in the war, and Achilles got to Troy in year 1 with the other Achaeans.)
this art style is gorgeous and i love how "Little" Ajax wasn't taken literally, and how old Nestor is portrayed. Like this is just so satisfying and gorgeous.
0:13 is that Achilles and Patroclus? If so why would you do this to me?!?!?!?!?! Fantastic animatic btw, i'd put it in my top 5 of the many TH&TI animatics. Also great end, the "Banna Peels" always makes me tear up and... I-I'm sorry im just too emotional for this... He just misses them so much!!!... Gods, I have to go now...
Unironically a crime that you haven't been brought on for an official animatic. Genuinely the best version of this song, some of the most faithful art i've seen yet, and some of the most incredible art i've seen. You've genuinely outdone yourself. And god, I hope you go on to do more
This is your FIRST animatic??? THIS IS AMAZING!!!!! I can’t believe this never came up in my rec’s before, I’m sad it took this long. Everyone’s designs are FANTASTIC, and your portrayal of every moment is top tier. Even if it’s only part of the song it’s one of my most favorites now. Well done!!!
This is so good! I love how you actually made them look like middle-aged men! And I adore how baby Telemachus is just a little Ody (Them CURLS). And the reference to Patroclus and Achilles! Great job! Especially for your first animatic!
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY EPIC (PUN INTENDED) I’M SO IN LOVE WITH THIS ANIMATIC ASDFHKJJFKFSKKDL AND ABSOLUTELY DETAILS AND HOW DARE YOU SHOWING US ACHILLES AND PATROCLUS LIKE THAT😭😭😭
Such a beautiful and serious drawing 😳 I like that the entourage, clothes, emotions and appearance of the characters are taken into account Died of laughter at the end :D
DUDE the Patroclus / Achilles scenes are intense! Amazing artwork; love this! EDIT: Also, the first thing I thought of when I saw some of your Patroclus/Achilles poses was the Pieta! Which hurts even more, because the Pieta itself is already such an emotional subject about love and death.
This is easily my favourite animatic for this part of the song. The designs! Oh my god, I love Menelaus, Nestor being old, Ajax watching their backs, Neo being young, and all these beautiful Patroclus and Achilles flashbacks, even death of Achilles at the hands of Paris. Gah!! So good, amazing artstyle, instant sub :)
can't believe this has only 400 likes... THIS IS A MASTERPIECE!!! Beautiful art and the most accurate characters ive seen so far (I'm greek so i can tell haha). It's trully gorgeous im crying.
This is so great. Beautiful artwork. Accurate portrayals. Is that Achilles and Patroclus?? Edit: Sooo... I just read the description. This is your first animatic?! Omggs! You're so talented!
