- I went completely insane and drew all this in a single afternoon, which is why some parts are noticeably sketchier and less polished. I am never doing this again. but hey at least this time it's half a song and not just 50 seconds am I right fellas
song is Thuder Bringer from the Thunder saga of the concept Odyssey musical Epic, by Jorge Rivera-Herrans, Luke Holt, Anna Casey and Armando Juliàn
#epicthemusical
I love how Zeus looks like he’s both part of and also lounging in the clouds, almost like he’s more bored/slightly amused rather than personally invested in Odysseus’ decision
He just looks so _casual._ It's almost like this is just a chore to him -"just another case of arrogant mortal fools trespassing against the gods", like he deals with every day - and forcing Odysseus to choose is just a way of making this chore more interesting.
Because in the song, he says he already knows the answer, it really isn’t anything to get excited over, because he already knew who he was killing, he just wanted Odysseus to say it.
OKAY but the way Eurlyochus actually STOPS the crew from going after Ody and then LOOKING HIM RIGHT IN THE EYES AS THEY GET SMITED BY ZEUS?!?!?!?!?!? AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
Its interesting because in the animatic Jorge used for the reveal stream, Eurylochus tries killing Odysseus after he agrees to let Zeus kill them
@@megabladechronicles962 it really is interesting! I don't watch behind-the-scenes content or the livestreams, and listening to the song independently gave me more of a tragically resigned vibe rather than a last despaired attempt to fight. Both are cool though, the released animation was stellar and I can see why they went with that more or less canonically
@@megabladechronicles962 Yeah I know which is why I find this such an amazing interoperation; it's the exact opposite!
YESSSSS EXACTLY CUZ THAT WAS MY INTERPRETATION OF THIS SONG TOO IM SO GLAD SOMEONE FINALLY VISUALISED IT
@@HALYARDELI actually hadn't thought of Eury's reaction being sad resignation before seeing this. I think actually works better than he going in for another attack because it carries over his anguish from the second half of Mutiny. When Eury starts singing, "how much longer must I suffer doubt," it showed how conflicted he still was about Ody despite what happened in Scylla. His looking at Ody right before the bolt is a greater emotional punch I think. Bravo for the excellent choice. I love your artistic style
Eurylochus holds the crew BACK like he's protecting them from storming Odysseus...but he looks at Ody like "I'll protect you one final time, but only so you can remember this moment and live with it forever."
Oof! That’s potent!
Roses are red, the wall is plaster. Mr.Jalapeño is fast, but epic animators are faster
Oh my gosh showing Eurylochus holding the crew back. This hurts even more with that. Oh gods how will he face his sister???
What sister? Sorry I'm new to this lol
@@whocaresaboutmynamebruh491odysseus has a sister had ctimene who was married to eurylochus which is why in luck runs out he says “you’re like the brother i could never do without”
@@ckippy OOOOOOH, That's so messed up! Thank you for the explanation
Well, it wouldn't have happened if he listened to Odi and didn't kill cow
@@hapikK
Or opened the bag
Book!Eurlyochus: troublemaker
This Animatic!Eurlyochus: *absolute chad*
it's so much more intimidating to visualize Zeus as something so insubstantial and unreachable as the thunder cloud hovering over the ship instead of a human avatar walking amongst them
Idk how you make such high quality animatics so quickly but I love it! The way Zeus is painted to be part of the clouds is so cool too. And the decision to make Eurylochus stop the crew from attacking is great
Believe me, I'm gonna take a rest from animatics for a while because this speed isn't good for my arm nor back lol. I just loved this song too much not to jump straight to it
and thank you! I wanted to show how Eurylochus knew there was nothing else to be done, especially after the duel
@@HALYARDEL Yeah one of my favorite parts about Mutiny + Thunderbringer is how they clearly still care for each other even after their fight, calling each other friend and whatnot. Also the line “Ody were never gonna get to make it home” tells you all you need to know. I loved AnniFlamma’s animatic in the livestream but I gotta disagree with the choice of Eurylochus going for the kill, especially after that last exchange which sounded so hopeless
OMG... How misserable Odysseus looks at that tiny "I know"! 💔 That's exactly how I imagined him. And I love how Eurylychus just holds the crew back, as there's nothing left to do... The song itself is so full of emotion, but you have added to that so so much! And to do that in a single afternoon! Wow!!
Personally also imagined this. I pictured the moment the crew realized Odysseus choice, their reactions differed - some jumped off the boat trying to escape, others broke down and cried - maybe only few try to attack Odysseus but fail. In the midst of the chaos, Eurylochus is just standing there, realizing he's screwed up.
"But we'll die..."
"Remember that bag i told you not to open a couple sagas ago?"
THE WAY EURYLOCHUS STOPS THE CREW AND LOOKS AT ODYSSEUS LIKE HE EXPECTS HIM TO HAVE A PLAN TO SAVE THEM 😭 this is gorgeous im crying. odysseus widowed his sister to see his wife.
A brother's final stand and the sacrifice of man
I'm pretty sure "sacrifice of man" is actually referring to Scylla, and how the only way to pass her was by sacrificing the six men.
The "portrayls of betrayal and a brother's final stand" seem more like it fits Mutiny and Thunder Bringer. During the livestream, one of the animatics Jorge had commissioned showed Eurylochus as well as the rest of the crew charging Odysseus after he made his choice.
A lot of "betraying" happens during Thunder Saga. Odysseus betrays the six men he 'gives' to Scylla. Eurylochus and the crew 'betray' him during Mutiny, and then he betrays them all again when he chooses them to die.
And since the livestream animatics are canon for Epic, the fact that Eurylochus tries to have one final go at Odysseus would be "a brother's final stand".
@@WittySomething some of them have Eurylochus not attacking Odysseus
@specialgamer0072 Some do, but the livestream animatics are commissioned by Jorge and thus are canon to Epic. That means that canonically Eurylochus does attack Odysseus with the rest of the crew.
@@WittySomething fair enough
The tired, almost resigned nature of Eurylychus
He knows what the answer is going to be, and holds back the crew because he knows it’s pointless. Poor guy.
OOOOO EURYLOCHUS T_T I LOVE the way you show how tired he is, how you KNOW that he knows what Odysseus will choose. He said it himself, "Ody we're never gonna get to make it home, you know it's true," so he doesn't even try to stop him or change his mind. He even stops the crew because he knows there's nothing they can do to stop it now.... also probably knows that the longer they live, the more hells they'll be put through.... AHHHHH incredible work I'm crying now
Ahhh I LOVE seeing everyone's different interpretation of what Eurylochus and the crew do before Zeus smites them. Having Eurylochus stop them and look Ody in the eye before they die is heartbreakinggggg
Oh i find it interesting the detail or eurylochus holding back the crew
Oh my god, my absolute favorite thing is the interpretation of Eurlyochus stopping the crew and accepting what's about to happen. It's both completely heartbreaking and it really leads to Eurlyochus being Absolutely Done and In Despair as of Mutiny.
Epic fans on their way to animate a new song (the saga released 0.5 seconds ago)
Also holy shit that Zeus design is great
Guy looks like a conscious natural disaster, and the worst part is that he is.
@@Codex951 yeh he is the thunder bringer for a reason
That speed is pretty accurate!
oh no, making me feel bad for Eurlyochus
Not the recreation of the saga art when he smites them 😭😭
The atmosphere of the dark, thick clouds and the lightning going through Zeus' eyes, oh god it's gorgeous.
I love how you designed Zeus, like he's literally made out of clouds and not just coming out of them. But oh, when Eurolochus stopped the crew because he knew it wouldn't change anything, the anguish and grief on Odysseus's face. Masterful work!
This is actually insane!!! I love it so much! You did an amazing job! Also I totally understand the going crazy and making it in an afternoon, I did the same thing with Scylla lmao
Billion dollar studios have failed to get me emotionally invested in anything the way the talented artists involved with Epic have.
WHOAAAA finally this perfect Zeus that i saw in my mind. Thank u so much, its really good
Holy, this is sick! Now this is talent right here! I hope your channel goes far!
What occurred to me while watching your animatic is that…this is the final death of the Odysseus of old. This is that final shattering of the man.
This has no right to look so good
Absolutely amazing
I love the details in this
I love how Zeus is drawn here! He's a GOD, and the design here...knowing that he CAN transform into a more humanoid and less threatening form but actively choosing not to! As if to say that he barely cares to put up a front or persona, as if to say that he doesn't see what's he's doing as absolutely mortifying and heart-wrenching for those mortals and this is just as mundane and unamusing to him as it would be if it were any other group of sailors....❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You're very good at using shadow and light! The boat on the water and Zeus with the lightning bolt has excellent contrast, nothing looks muddy. Looks like a painting! Very pretty!❤
The way Eurlyochus stops the crew kind of protecting them I can’t HAVEHEHD
Poseidon: Deal with him!
Zeus: Nah.
*A few years later*
Helios: They killed my cow! Deal with them, that was my favorite cow! I named her Bella!
Zeus: Na-
Helios; Oh you want me to give the sun to Hades? Cause I'm not your brother! I'm not the one!
Zeus: Ugggggh! FINE!
This is EXACTLY how I was imagining it!!!
Ody's face on "I know" 😭😭
The values in this are incredibly amazing... WOW!
this is so INCREDIBLE oh my god i’m in love
0:59 POV: The Cartel making bro choose between his life or mine and he remembers the goth baddie he has no chance with
Omg ngl this was the closest thing I thought happened after Ody says "I know"
If its okay im gonna drop the comment I posted on thunder bringer here for what I imagined happened
I'd like to think this is what happens while Zeus is singing after Ody says "I know"
Odysseus, no longer able to decide whether or not he should be selfish and save himself to see his wife and son or be selfless and save his crew (a crew he knows that betrayed him but still sees as brothers), falls to his knees. Tears beginning to fall as Odysseus falls into a deep spiral of despair and is mentally broken once again.
Eurylochus seeing his friend, his brother, from up till now was a cunning and wise captain and king, to now a man at his wits end and is falling further more into despair. Seeing how desperate Odysseus is to see his wife and child, more desperate than any other man on the ship they are on, seeing how much despair the weight of a decision Odysseus has to make on which life should be sacrificed. Eurylochus decides to take that burden off his brothers shoulders. Whether it be due to the guilt he has for what he did or the fact that he no longer wants to see Odysseus suffer any longer, Eurylochus brings Odysseus to his feet. Placing his hands on his brothers shoulders he says to Odysseus:
"Ody...I know how much you miss your family and I know how desperate you are to see your home...and I understand you did what you had to do to ensure we get back home to Ithaca again...and I know you must be going through so much suffering....and I'm sorry... I'm sorry that I'm reason we're in this mess and i'm sorry that I opened the wind bag, loosing are chances to get home...So let me take the suffering from you, let me and the crew atone for what we have done"
Eurylochus then turns to the crew, nodding at them and the crew knowing what they must do. Eurylochus then turns towards Zeus nodding his head, Zeus understanding what Eurylochus wishes to have done. Eurylochus then turns around looking at Odysseus. Odysseus realizing what's about to happen, tries to think of a way to bargain to Zeus, to find a way where everyone survives. But before he could say anything to the Thunder God, Eurylochus calls out to him.
"Ody, I'll make sure to tell Polites of everything that has happened... hopefully he doesn't get mad at me for my stupidity haha...I hope we see each other again, and makes sure to tell us rest of how your journey back home to Ithaca goes...
Oh and Ody, promise me you'll make it home alive brother...no matter what"
Before Odysseus can say a word, a giant lightning bolt strikes down the ship destroying it
Leaving no one but Odysseus to survive as he drifts down into the ocean
This is what I'd like to believe happened and that Eurylochus understood why Odysseus did what he did and choose to atone for what he and the crew did. But then again this is all in my head cannon XD
Sorry for the long comment, I was excited to see that someone animated something close to what I imagined in my head canon of what happened 😂😂😂
YOUR ART STYLE OH MY LORDD I LOVE IT SM
This is amazing!!!!!!!!
I LOVE ZEUS’S DESIGN!!!!
Mr jalapeño will be very proud of you!!!!
oOOHHH your zeus design is very good!! He looks so intimidating!
I can't stop rewatching this. I'm dying to make my Thunderbringer AMV for BSD, but unfortunately it's been closet, garage, and storage clean out this week.
😮😮😮😮😮❤❤❤❤ also that zeus design is 😙🤌🏾⚡🌧️
thank you! it's been a lot of fun to try and design the gods, I want to make them feel different from each other but otherworldly all the same
YOOO THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE
OUCH!! hit my heart 😭 that was beautiful 🫶
Wow!! Your sense of value and texture is on point!
OMG THIS IS SO FREAKING GOOD!!
I love your Zeus design omg
DAMNNNNNNNN
It's the first one I've watched where Eurylochus actually recognizes he's kinda faulty for this outcome, so he holds back the crew.
D E L I G H T F U L
THIS IS SO GOOD
This is stunning!
YOU’RE WAYYY TOO INCREDIBLY INSANELY UNDERRATED AH IM SUBBINH
THIS IS SO UNDERRATED!!!!
Wow this is so good
I’m so glad I subscribed after your first video, you did not disappoint. This one is beautiful. ❤️
I'm grateful!!
Gorgeous
LOVE the textures and values of this!!! And Zeus?? His design is SO good!! Dying at Eurylochus stopping the crew bc he knows its inevitable 😭
@@artofparkerb Thank you!! I can't help spending time on textures and values even if I end up making less frames lol
@@HALYARDEL haha I think for an animatic it's sooo worth it. The whole point is to lay it out to music 👀 so it's important to create that vibe!! This has really inspired me for my animatic for thunder bringer!!!
@@artofparkerb it's an honour to hear that! I hope you have fun creating it
I love the zues design and how you made the lightning bolt
This is so good
Great animatic!
That zeus really gives primordial force vibes
Oh the flashes of lightning are so SEXY
I love your Zeus design !!!!!
I wish to see you do the whole song sometime i love the animation of the lighting being formed by Zeus
Aww man. I know Odysseus was a ruthless character, but this is ice cold.
Wow this is so cool
Your storm reminds me of the storm father ngl. Cool design
wow!
Posideon always shown beating the sh#t out of odysseus. Zeus portrayed above all this lounging on clouds
I always prefer the animatic where Eurylochus doesn't bother to attack Odysseus in Thunder Bringer ⚡
Not because of his loyalty as his friend but, as the song Mutiny showed. He's tired😔
As far as he's concerned, He's done fighting, he's tired in trying to survive, he's accepted that he'll never go home and that this is how it ends😔
oh i am NOT okay after that
Woah
Full song ASAP!!!
❤❤
The siren looks like a kaijui
Yall are FAST
⚡️💛⚡️
holy sh it
Ze clouds
Will you do a full version of it? I'd love to see your take of the first part of the song.
I appreciate the question, truly - as of now I don't have any plans for it, though. One day it would be nice to complete these, but I'm not that experienced yet
@@HALYARDEL pity, I'm certain you could easily do the first part of the song.
I don’t think this is the full song, I could be wrong though.
It's only the latter half. I didn't have it in me to do 4 full minutes, truth be told
