"You killed my sheep."
- Fuck, okay, time to diploma-
"My favorite sheep."
- We're screwed.
lol 😭
That's what I was thinking
Honestly that
"That was THE sheep"
Was devastating
It's so tense but I can't stop giggling over the tiny bits of comedy
hello there 😄
WolfyTheWitch I have a question, I'm not good at art but I thought of this idk if someone else already did it but I don't think so.. You add the song one last time from hamilton but then make George Washington: technoblade, And make Alexander Hamilton: Philza (If you want to make it someone else you can). The animation style and art is your choice, but at the end could you have Technoblade and Philza/whoever you choose hug.🙏 😅, I commented this same thing on another video that you made called "Thank you, Techno"
Ikr! For such a foreboding song, the bits of awkward comedy add so much xD
Like:
1:13 “ahahah nothing to see here”
1:20 “OH NO” “OH FU-“
2:13 “Eury pass the wine QUICK-“
2:52 “o_O oh gods pls work”
3:12 “oH? he’s crouching????”
3:20 “did I just say eye to eye?? to a CYCLOPS?? Er-“
3:25 “it worked :D !!!”
3:31 “or not D:”
3:35 “runrunrunrunrunRUNRUNRUNR-“
Lol same
Not me changing the likes from 999 to 1k repeatedly
Polites slowly trying to cover the dead sheep when Polyphemus notices💀
Great animatic btw
hes like: um.... no we didnt 😁
And then them freaking out when he mentions it's his favorite sheep, I love it xD
@@nomadicfenris755 Ha 😂
PFFT-ikr the awkward side shuffle to block the sheep
@@tumblingartist he just waddled 😂
"You killed my sheep." Polites tries to hide the dead sheep
"My favorite sheep." Both Polites and Eurylochus knows their f*cked and starts crying
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What a nice young man this Odysseus is, hopefully if he escapes Polyphemus he won’t let his pride get the best of him which makes Polyphemus curse these men with the power of his father Poseidon 😄
Haha can you imagine? That would be terrible, good thing Odysseus is like the smartest greek and wouldn’t do that
@@agatapereiramerlin7671 Surely he wouldn't since he is blessed to talk to Minerva, goddess of wisdom herself about strategies and smart decisions to make.....yeah.....smart decisions.
@@agatapereiramerlin7671 indeed. Hopefully he’ll have a nice and smooth trip back to see his son Telemachus and wife Penelope and not get bumped back another 10 years, and come back disguised as a begger just to reveal himself to all the suitors who wanted to marry Penelope and slaughter said suitors in a bloody affair.
Of course not, he’s a Warrior of the Mind and always listens to Athena’s advice, he’d never dismiss her and go on to do something that reckless and shortsighted
@@tumblingartist Right?! He would never on multiple accounts do anything without thought or do with in mind the possible outcomes for his actions and still disregarding Athena.
The way they all just instantly freeze when Polyphemus pops up
Odysseus' face when he says "my favorite sheep" is just like "I've doomed us all"
Odysseus' desperate gestures for Eurylochus to grab their treasure
The slow footsteps back while Odysseus tries to sell how great this wine is
Eurylochus subtley stealing some food
Their excitement at maybe surviving
Then the way Odysseus' face drops when he says "die"
God I love this animatic
I just noticed Eurylochus starts praying when Polyphemus says "my favorite sheep"
I just realized when Polyphemus says "for your gift I've one to reply" you can't see his eye at all. THEY'RE NOT SEEING EYE TO EYE! I dunno if that was intentional but if so that's magnificent.
BIG BRAIN.....freaking cool you noticed that!
I never realised he said " i've one to reply " , i always heard " i want to be blind " which i found was a great way to both say he'll act like it didnt happen but also inducing foreshadowing of what will happen next , i'm both happy to being abble to sing along more accurately but also a bit disappointed that , this detail that i originally found cool as hell , isnt real :)
I believe it was and then it was even more obvious when Odysseus kept moving his eyes when sing the line eye to eye instead of looking at polyphemus
i love the idea that the fans make up these heavy connections and the creators like "YEAHHHHH I TOTALLY HAD THAT IN MIND"
I like how originally he was like “ I’m gonna drink your blood and eat you “ they gave him the special wine saying he won’t want human meat and as a result he just kills them instead of eating them cause it did but he’s still mad
Lmao
lol
“RUN!!!”
I like how these guys look and sound like some college kids getting into trouble on a night out lol
HA 😂 and the cyclops is the damn proffessor/principle
@@SIMPLY_GJ **throws beer bottle against ground**
Odysseus: SCATTER!!!
@@averongodoffire8098 hahah
@@averongodoffire8098 Euclylochus: you see my friend Odysseus.... this man is now a father... he has a baby.... he grabbed a 40 and smashed it on the ground yelled SCATTER
Polyphemus is the police confirmed
The fact that u were able to add the slightest bit of humours to this suuper tense bit is a serious testament to ur talent, this is truly amazing, epic.
I'm just replying so you can see how much likes you got
@@afellowpotato THANKYOU I APPRECIATE THAT
Athena abandons him purely for his mercy, He was smart enough to drug the cyclops, smart enough to not reveal his name, smart enough to blind him, but he fails to see mercy is the stupidest choice of them all. Not only telling him where he lives, his name, and basically how to kill his bloodline, he dooms the people he killed a baby for. For mercy of a flesh eating cyclops. He doesnt believe Athena about the mistake he is making but chooses to believe Zeus about the child. Crazy
Not to mention he's all too happy to kill random sheep when he needs to do so, but then tries to act 'mercifull' and 'too good to kill'.
@@spiderlily723 Bro, you *do* realize there is a difference between a sheep and an intelligent being capable of speech right?
@@KaguroDraven Not in here there isn't. Does it being a sheep magically stop it from bleeding? Does Polyphemus care less for it? Does it hurt him less to lose it? Imagine breaking into someone's house and killing their pet, then pretending you did not wrong and being insulted they called police. xD
Odysseous has a huge problem with hipocrisy in this musical and this is prime example - lying 'no blood is spilled' when he's standing in the pool of it, taking gods word about infant being a danger, but not about a cyclops he fought.
To be fair to Odysseus Zeus gives him reasons to do what he's doing
Athena is just like kill that guy no explanation.
@@Ben_SGR Yeah, but then Zeus is just 'a god' while Athena has been his mentor and is goddes of WISDOM. xD
It's honestly really good how you see WHY Odysseus does the shitty decisions due to his own flaws, but still understand why he seed then as right.
The background characters covering the sheep and crying it's the best thing
Polites and Eurylochus our beloveds
Ikr
To recap Polyphemus as a villain has shown poor hospitality to his guests in need of aid(a big deal in ancient Greece and punished by the gods often), he committed cannibalism, and as an added measure made Cyclopes look bad by making them seem like monsters instead of the magic blacksmiths of the ancient world
I mean they killed his favorite sheep
Counterpoint, a bunch of little gremlins with sticks comes in and kills your pet...I'd be pretty mad tbh
@@alimshevtsov5251 I mean if the fuckers were dying and didn’t know it was mine, and then gave me payment and treasure as an apology, than like I’ll grovel and be pissed but I ain’t murdering and eatinh em.
They entered his home uninvited, took his goods and kill his sheep, i'd say he doesn't owe them any hospitality. and it's not cannibalism if you're not from the same specie.
@@efaristi9737 maybe Poly doesn’t owe hospitality by today’s standards but back in Ancient Greece that was a huge deal. In one myth Zeus came to a king named Lycon in disguise and Lycon and his sons tried to eat Zeus, showing poor hospitality and trying to eat him. As punishment Zeus turned Lycon and his sons into wolves, and Zeus certainly wasn’t thinking this act of cannibalism was justified because Lycon was trying to eat a god not a fellow man of the same species. And myths like the Greek flood story and Tantalus also show that Zeus was not above punishing humans for cannibalism despite humans being a different species than gods
i noticed how Odysseus told the cyclops his name was nobody in "Polyphemus" that's why he was so confident in "remember them" when the other cyclops asked who hurts him he says nobody 😂
yeah... thats the whole point of him telling him nobody was his name
@@CreeperArcade some people didn't notice it that quickly like me so I try to make it easier
@@acetrainer6538 literally its not at all hard to notice people dont need to be told
@@CreeperArcade "I noticed" emphasis on the I you don't have to comment at all If you don't care
@@acetrainer6538 i dont but being rude on the internet is funny so
“No bloodshed in here today,” Odysseus says as he walks past the bleeding dead sheep. Only one of many details that make this animatic so great!
I like to believe that Polypgemus was about to let them go until the eye to eye comment
Polites in the background just being like ,,aw shit dude" and doing the "wasn't me" walking away I am crying
God Polyphemus’s voice is so intense. The deep basey rumble, really adds to the gravity of pissing off a cyclops. Also great expressions and anatomy in the animation
Really makes you feel his size, everytime I hear his first line I just see a massive eyeball eclipsing everything.
I see him as a mountain of a shadow with the eye looming hight above the three intruders. And the thrumming beats at first is him stepping out of the darkness of the cave
Polities and Eurylochus in the back is SENDING ME-
1:13 “ahahah nothing to see here”
1:20 “OH NO” “OH FU-“
2:13 “Eury pass the wine QUICK-“
2:52 “o_O oh gods pls work”
3:12 “oH? he’s crouching????”
3:20 “did I just say eye to eye?? to a CYCLOPS?? Er-“
3:25 “it worked :D !!!”
3:31 “or not D:”
3:35 “runrunrunrunrunRUNRUNRUNR-“
In og story the conversation was pretty casual and peaceful until Odysseus said that they crashed on the island because Poseidon was angry at them before Polyphemus started to eat them. I think that Polyphemus hearing this thought 'oh, so you are enemy of my dad, well, free meal for me' and killed 2 of the crewmember without saying a word or reason why he attacked them.
THE DETAILS???? THE EXPRESSIONS??? THE HUMOR AND THE TENSION??? THIS IS A MASTERPIECE AND I CAN'T STOP WATCHING IT!!!!
We need to talk about how Odysseus sings “Nobody” because it’s gorgeous and the animatic makes it better :D
One of my favorite parts in the released songs so far!
The way they scooted to cover the sheep and when Cyclops said. “MY FAVORITE SHEEP!” Odysseus’ said ‘We are dead😅’
i choked with laughter with "you killed mu sheep, my favorite sheep" and Polites and the other (i forgot his name sorry) freaking out at bg and Odysseus face lmaoooo
The other'sguys name is Eureychales I believ
Eurylochus. I know, his name is hard
Odysseus: "We'll give you our finest treasure, so long as we leave alive"
Polyphemus: well yes but actually no
I've watched this repeatedly since I found it yesterday and I think my favorite part of this animatic is the look on Odysseus' face when he's singing "Nobody - Nobody - Nobody". The way you've drawn him, it looks less like he's calmly lying under pressure and more like he's casting that word over Polyphemus, into the future, like an arrow shot past an enemy to strike at a target further back. It gives me goosebumps every time I watch your version.
When Polyphemus says they killed his favourite sheep oddyseus is just like:
We did *WHAT*
"You killed my sheep,"
Polites: What sheep
Eurylochus: Wasn't me
"My favorite sheep,"
Polites: THAT'S NOT GREAT
Eurylochus: NOT GREAT BOB
The poor cyclops man, he just wanted to chill with his sheep
I genuinely really like how much Polyphemus looks like and how much he resembles his father here
I'm tearing up?? This is so great, it makes me feel as if I'm listening to the song for the first time all over again. The expressions and little split second movements are fantastic, the color change as Polyphemus' eye opens (and the way it opens??? oh my gosh). Odysseus standing on guard in front of all his men, but also Polites has his arms out slightly in a way that could be seen as wary and protective of the others as well? Eurylochus braced for a fight from the get go as opposed to Ody and Polites? The smile Polites has right before the ultimatum is dropped and the relief all three of them have? The very last frames and the desperation the running motions convey? The fact that the animatic remains in the red light even for the moments Odysseus believes they will get out without a fight and the ominous feel that gives to the viewer, even if the viewer might not have the outside knowledge of knowing what happens next - because they are still in danger, and the sense of peace is false. The little details of many of the frames after Polyphemus first appears being changed on that low beat that plays, ugh, it's so great. The emphasis on Odysseus' hands when talking about power, because he holds all the power here for the lives of his men, and for the final say of if Polyphemus later dies? The details here are AMAZING.
I am so, so ready to see more of whatever you decide to create, EPIC related or otherwise!!
Amo que esta canción se resuma a:
Odiseo "el nobody": sorry por lo de la oveja, tomate este vinito y vamo a calmarnos.
El cíclope literalmente después de aceptar el intercambio: bueno como decía, los voy a matar a todos.
ha
la neta que dijo-
chale pues compa.... gracias por la cena pero quiero seguir con la mascre 😂
Polyphemus: thanks for the wine, I guess I’ll kill you last lol
@@tumblingartist ha for reals 😂
Mas o menos eso es el resumen
I adore the bits of comedy,how they realized they fucked up and try so hard yet so miserably to cover it up,and the genuine distress and sadness when he says that sheep was his favorite
I’m hella biased since I’ve followed you for years at this point. But this has got to be my FAV animatic that’s come out of this musical so far. ❤❤❤
Im not biased at all, and I totally agree with you
odyssesus` face after polyphemus says "you killed my sheep" is exactly how i imagined it!! xd
I don't know if it's intentional but Polyphemus's expression for the whole part about them killing his sheep just screams "Yeah, okay, I was going to have a me day but I guess we're killing Grecians"
I cant help but laugh when he says "my favorite sheep" I'm dying
New headcanon: Polyphemus was genuinely going to let them go, but got pissed off at the last second on the “eye to eye” comment and changed his mind. 😂
There's SO many good details in this animatic, but one I don't see anyone else commenting on is when Odysseus says "No bloodshed in here today" and it shows the sheep he killed as he backs away. Nice.
The little "Oh my god no, not his favorite sheep" in the body language still makes me laugh. There was so much emotion in those anguished poses. Fuckin' amazing on the visuals. Your animation is just, top-tier!
This is so cool! Huh, I thought Polyphemus's sheeps were a lot bigger in the story
They were, since Ody and his crew had to hide underneath them to escape the cave.
after listening to this song I can't stop imagining the cyclop as nothing different then an enormous ogrelike completely black shadow with only his eye and the inside of his mouse visible
The red light is SO COOL!!! And everyone's expressions are so well drawn!! Loved the tiny Eurylichus and Polites during the cyclop's first verses aldbfkgkgk
I LOVED IT!!! Their reaction to "You killed my sheep... My favourite sheep..." is just as I imagined it xD Great work!!!
To be fair, they broke into his home and killed his beloved pets. Wine wont fix that
I can't get over Polyphemus' expression when he says it was his favourite. He looks like he's had a very long, annoying day. And you know what? He's had enough.
Oh. My. God.
I can't believe one of my favourite artists just made the most perfect animatic of the musical I'm currently fixated about.
I love you, beautiful work!
Oh man I looked up this song at the perfect time 😳 your animatic had me wondering what order the songs come out and what happens to Polites. Glad I had this to help visualize this part of the musical! Awesome job 🥰
He dies. 😂 Lol sorry that was so crude of me. But he dies in the next song “Survive” but it’s at the VERY end of the song. He’s the one who says Captain at the end first after the big SLAM. That’s why Odysseus doesn’t respond until a few beats into the next song. Because he was in such shock that his best friend had just died.
Hope this helps!
This story is the one story I remember from my Latin class in middle school…. And I remember it because finding Nemo was considered a new movie at the time still…. And we learned that Nemo is Latin for nobody/no one because that is what Odysseus says his name is to the cyclops. so the movie, finding Nemo translates partially in Latin to finding nobody/no one
This is hands down my favorite Polyphemus design. So cool
Love love love this! Been waiting for an animatic of this song. I always picture the “eye to eye” part with Polyphemus like right up in Odys face tho, so they are literally eye to eye.
His face when the Cyclops says "You killed my sheep." had me dying!
I love how Polites tries to hide the sheep and when Polyphemus says it's his FAVORITE sheep he just like "WHY!? Why did it have to be the favorite one!"
HOLY SHIT THIS WAS AMAZIGN??? THIS WAS GENUINELY INCREDIBLE OMG
THE TENSION
THE EXPRESSION
THE WAY IT FITS WITH THE MUSIC
THE WAY YOU DRAW THEM
SO SO SO SO GOOD
EVERYTHING I WANTED FROM THIS SCENE
update: wait omg I know you from your old old OKD musical theatre stuff :OOOO WHATT your art has improved so much holy shit!!!!! congratulations!!!
Odysseys really tried to roll a nat 20 on persuasion trying to convince the Cyclops to not kill them but the cyclops didn't fall for it lol
I appreciate how you give the extra detail of focus of him shooting the bow, then fixing his breathing pattern after.
Out of all the animatics of Epic I’ve seen, this has to be one of (if not) my top favorites. Like, it’s actually so freaking good? I love all the silliness too
The eye of Odysseus when he says "nobody" he exactly knew what he was doing and what he was up against very well made.
Literal perfection??? The character designs?? Expressions?? The tenseness yet the little bits of comedy?? 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Odysseus' face when the Cyclops' said 'U killed my sheep'
im not ready for "survive" 😭
Shout out to the guy who tried to hide the dead sheep. Made me laugh
The name is Polities haha 😂😂
This is soooooooo good. Your animation style fits so well and I'm in love with your version of Odysseus!
2:39 "no bloodshed in here today" while showing his dead sheep is genius
THIS WAS INCREDIBLE!!!! I'd love to see your take on Survive and Remember them :) This was so well done!
OH MI GOD. This is a really tense song but whenever I see those little freak out expressions I can't stop cackling. That final scene whee they were running from cyclops? Perfect. The shading? Perfect. The random bits of comedy? Perfect.
This is seriously so cool i love it
Also something about this saga
So in Remember Them Odysseus told Polyphemus that "When we met i led with peace" but didnt dude literally give him drugged wine? and he did technically go there to steal.. so like is he trying to justify what he did to himself?
He didn't know the sheep where his and he still gave him expensive win to pay him back for it, he only drudged it in case he decided to kill them which ended up happening anyways, so yeah he did led with peace and the cyclops got greedy and decided to eat them all anyways, if he let them go the worst case would've been taking a longer nape then usual but now he blind and honestly still should've killed him
I cannot answer for the other points, but they didn't actually come there to steal. In "Open Arms" they asked the lotus eaters where they might find food, and they directed them to a cave on an island in a certain direction, i.e. this cave on this island. It's why Odysseus says "why would the lotus eaters pass up on all this food?". They were under the impression this was food that they could take, not that this cave was the home of a cyclops
This is incredibly well animated! Your poses, expressions, hints of humor and excellently timed drama, all amazing
The "oh shit" expression following 'my favorite sheep' I am crying why's that so perfect
not them showing the dead sheep with blood over the floor during the line "no bloodshed in here today"💀
The way they looked even MORE panicked when he said “my favourite sheep” was terrifying
The faces when they found out that they killed Polyphemus’ favorite sheep-
To be fair, i would be pissed off if somebody offered me a wine for my beloved pet which they killed
Polyphemus gotta be my favourite character in the whole epic series
i seriously love seeing all the different interpretations of epic the musical animated its seriously amazing how similar but different each one is and they’re all just amazing
this is pretty sick, the writing, the humor and singing are so good, looking forward the continuation of what I consider one of the most thrilling ancient Greek stories
Been looking everywhere for and animatic for this song!!
0:06 all the animatics I’ve seen of this song show that first whoosh as the killing of the sheep but in my head, I pictured in as someone walking into a puddle in a cave
The transition when Polyphemus opened his eye was amazing! Made me startle!
That cut off point for the end of the video almost made my head explode
I love how expressive the characters are and the gestures really help to tell the story. Awesome work!
The song has a very epic tone but the background moments make me die of laughter, what an incredible detail.😂😂😂
HA I like how you drew odyssuess regreting to whole killing polemytheus's sheep.....AND THE POLITES TRYING TO HIDE IT 😂
like its
cyclops: You killed my sheep
Odysseus: oh well s***
Cyclops:MY FAVORITE SHEEP
Odysuess: oh well double s***
how was i supposed to know
yES YES YESSSSSS ME AND MY SIS WATCHED ABSOLUTLEY MESMERISED AND ENTRHALLED
their FEAR ohoho how delicious~
amazing polyphemus design!! and odysseus is so pretty aaahhhhhh
I love the slight pause after Polyphemus says it was his favorite sheep like Odysseus was absolutely about to be like “now hold on a minute there’s like 60 sheep in here how you know that’s one’s your favorite!” But got cut off by Polyphemus continuing the song
I love how he did not say his name here, being less carefree and actually think of the consequences, although he bacame cocky after escaping the cave, he shouted his name
POLITES JUST
*waddlewaddlewaddle*
"nothing to see here no sir"
sheeeeeeesh the way you did the expressions and lighting really makes you feel the moment, great work! :DDD
I love the blend of tension and visual comedy in this animatic, really adds to the already amazing song!
I love this and I cant stop laughing cuz of Polites and Eurylochus in the background XD
Polyphemus: you killed my sheep
Polites: oh gods! Better hide the body
Eurylochus: I was not part of this
Odysseus: crap
Polyphemus: my favorite sheep
Polites: that was his favorite too?!
Eurylochus: Oh no the sheep! It's broken!
Polites: THEY LOOK THE SAME?!
Odysseus: wtf are those 2 doing behind me?
If there's an enemy more powerful than you, scarier than you, and *hungrier* than you, and they sing, that is your dirge(death song). Also, I take it that the cyclops drank the whine because he was thirsty for revenge.
I’m obsessed with how amazing this animation is. There’s so many small details that are amazing everyone’s pointing out. One I haven’t seen anyone mention is how at the beginning the whole cave is blue or gray like normal but quickly turns to red and stays that way
This animatic is my first introduction to this song, and HOLY SHIT going into this animatic blind was the best decision I could’ve ever made. The song is tense on its own, but fuck man, the techniques you include in your art and framing to show how terrifying it all is masterful. From the sudden shift from cool blue to dark, bloody red; the EYE just fucking. Showing up behind Odysseus, so close and so bright like a fucking beacon in the darkness (because Jesus Christ how did it sneak up on them? How did they not notice? It’s like realizing a Lion is no less than three feet away); Odysseus backing up slowly as we see the corpse of the favorite sheep; his frantic attempts at getting the Cyclops to accept the wine; his fucking FACE when the Cyclops tells him he’ll be the last to die… it’s all fucking INSANE and my heart DROPS so many times during this thing that I’m pretty sure it’s in my feet at this point. Wonderfully done.
I love the voice effect on the VA for Polyphemus
the way he walked over the sheep to hind the blood LOL
Holy crap this is amazing!!! The expressions, even able to add some humor in a tense scene. Just stunning.
Part of me really hopes you're able to do a "Survive" animatic as well bc man, this was great to experience.
"I'm so glad we see eye to eye"
Odysseus, that's not somthing you say to a cyclops!
I'm sorry but i lost it when Polites stepped in front of the sheep as if to hide the fact that they killed it omg 🤣
I like how in other animatics the cyclops is a collosal monster, but in this one he's just the size of Shaquille O'Neal
a nice detail is how you pan to the sheep when Ody says 'No bloodshed in here today', it shows that indeed blood has been shed, but for Odysseus is just an animal, while for Polyphemus is a dear friend
