This is the first time I realized that while Odysseus saw the storm as a final hurdle, Penelope saw the same storm and interpreted it as a divine omen. Also, I love the detail of the owl watching!
2:51 IT'S ODY!!! From when he saw Penelope, to the whole scene with him following her through the crowd of suitors and trying to reach out her just TUG AT MY HEARTSTRINGS WHYYYY 😭😭😭😭 EDIT: I just noticed that at 2:56 when "Penelope" was said, he started following her! It's as if he's calling her name and desperately trying to get to her through the suitors auuuughhhh 😭😭😭😭
the way that the colors in the start were so bright then when she entered the room full of suitors the colors went dark then when she had the flashback/memory of ody the colors turned brighter >
The shot with the arrows all flying at her as the music disappears and all comes back broke me. The entire last section with Odysseus shattered me. AMAZING JOB GWENDY!!!
@ns2dstudios the longing caresses always makes me tear up, it's such a simple and subtle way of relaying a massage of longing and yet it resonates very, very deep. Most things in that palace were of her husband's creations, the marriage bed that has been half-empty for 2 decades, the palace halls bearing the fading marks of his hands as the undeserving men try to stake their claims. The bow, /his/ bow, the last resort in her person bc she refuses to give up- my heart clenches everytime. this is a masterpiece, ate gwendy. utter masterpiece
Imagine being so lucky as a princess to marry a man that you actually love, and now out of duty as a queen, you're being forced to marry some random man? Heartbreaking, and captured so beautifully by the artist here. 😭🥰👏🏻
I thought I'd stopped crying from this song... WHY'D YOU MADE ME BAWL MY EYES OUT WITH THE ANIMATION?!??! PENELOPE'S LONGING FOR ODYSSEUS?? THE PART "SIGN" SHOWING ATHENA LIKE SHE'S ALWAYS THERE TAKING CARE OF PENELOPE AND THE EXPRESSION OF PENELOPE EXCITED TO FINALLY SEE ODY AND ODYSSEUS WARM EYES WHEN LOOKING AT PENELOPE 😭😭😭 I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!! IT WAS ABSOLUTELY WORTH THE WAIT
Omg, you did an amazing job!! Is this : 1:14 what I think it is ? If it is, it's the first time I see someone use an Athene Noctua (commonly referred to as "Little owl" and named after Athena), that's such a cool detail !
YES!!! YOU NOTICED! It is the Athene Noctua Owl! I painstakingly painted its feathers so it matches the exact species so thank you for noticing! Credits to my hubbs for helping me research
@@ns2dstudios I was JUST about to comment on the owl being there, and I never could have guessed that it was such a specific and fitting species!! That's so cool!!
Omg tita Gwen you outdid yourself!! This is absolutely amasing to the composition to the story to the FLUIDITY??? Also omg I am absolutely *OBSESSED* with the colors as soon as our dear Penelope enters the room with the suitors!!! And omg ODY in the flashback??? I always found your design of him fine but OMG as an aromantic I am 100% willing to marry him, no wonder Penelope waited 20 years hzfzgsgsgd This was absolutely amazing tita I cannot stop watching 😭😭🙏‼️💔💕
LEM! OMG thank you! I wanted the colors to be different when she enters because that is the den of the savage dogs, almost like an underworld of their own, while Penelope remains full of life and fiery spirit. And I can't help but add Ody in. Gotta show the man Penny's been waiting for for two decades. Thank you again for the support!!!
THIS IS SO GORGEOUS AAAA Thank you for blessing my eyes T-T)o (Also saw your shorts! They were so beautiful and I'm glad I subscribed to see this masterpiece
I love this so much, Penelope's excitement when she realised it's a sign Ody's coming back, the suitors aiming at her, the 12 axes shot goes just as hard as the first time we've seen it.
This is hands down my favourite song out of all 40 and Gwendy, you did an amazingly fantastic job animating it. Simply gorgeous, beautiful, and heartwrenching in all the best ways
Oh this is just beautiful! I love the symbolism of the arrows all aiming for her. And Ody in the crowd at the end!!!! Omg! He was there and saw her but couldn't reach her yet! 😢 I love that detail sm
This is absolutely gorgeous! The way you portray Penelope's hope and resolve is beautiful! The colors are perfect, and everything is just so spectacularly done, Thanks so much for sharing!
YOU ARE AMAZING! I have watched you for many of the animatics for EPIC and you are an awesome artist...You have inspired me a lot so thank you! Beautiful Work..
The animation is very good and smooth, the color, the story, everything is top tier. It turned into 100/10 The animators really cooked this one ngl 🔥 And the music is majestic it makes me calm Very rare video to see imma save this to my playlist Keep up the good work yall did more than good
I’ve been waiting for this animation and checking the channel every now and then, let me tell it didn’t dissapoint and i assure u i’ll be rewatching ir for every little detail
The first time I saw the sketch version of this animatic it made me cry and now seeing it complete in full color and more detailed is beautiful! You can see the work and effort, I love it so much, thank you for bringing us such a wonderful work.✨🎉
Thank you Starryboard! Thanks especially for watching my livestreams and seeing this come to life! it's been a long time waiting and I'm so happy with the positive response it's been garnering :)
Holy Molly gwendy pop of gwendy this is amazing. Definetly the best challenge animatic i have seen and probably one of the best epic animatics in general. Incredible work. 10/10
This is incredible, Gwendy! The light that shows in her eyes when she thinks of the storm as a sign is beautiful! And showing Ody at the end, reaching for Penelope, but not quite making it... it breaks my heart!😢 Definitely going to be watching this over and over! ❤❤❤
OH MU GOSH YOU DID FREAKING AMAZING! I’ve been waiting for this to come out! You’re I huge inspiration for my animatics! I’m in love with the lighting!
GWENDY!!!!!!!! OUGHHH YOUVE DONE IT AGAIN UR SO SO COOL AND WORKED SO HARD AND ITS FULLY COLORED AND AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA okay Im calm now. okay maybe not my words are going too fast in my head to voice appreciation for the time and detail you have worked tirelessly for like eight-ish months and ur so cool and poggers and I want to eat your art :)
This was wonderful as expected! It was so smooth, and Penelope's emotions were so well done! Her longing, her excitement and hope, and also sadness, and I love the part with her and Odysseus, her imagining herself with Odysseus, it was so sweet but also sad, and Odysseus following her and reaching out to her at the end, everything was so beautiful! Well done, Gwendy!
Since I didn't see (or at least notice) anyone pointing it out, that is a wonderful recurve compound bow, which is most likely the type of bow that Odysseus used according to Homer.

ODYSSEUS WAS IN THE CROWD WATCHING HER. SHE WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE AXES!!!!
OMHG YES WOW
@rosefromtitanic2264 so good
THE BOW! THE CORRECT KIND OF BOW! I LOVE YOU GWENDY
I was thinking the same thing! The first video I have seen with the correct bow!! GWENDY and team are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!
@@mjelsey
VirusAP's animatic for this song also got the bow right. That one and this one are the only two I can think of that used the correct bow.
And correct axes!
I was just scrolling 5 minutes and found the shorts for it and then all of a sudden I’m invested and stumbled into an active live stream 😅
Welcome to the active premiere hahahah
@@ns2dstudios of course! Keep up the amazing work but be sure not to overwork yourselves!
Lol same I just saw the short for this and then came across this video from an hour ago
It’s doogle!
Aw❤❤
This is the first time I realized that while Odysseus saw the storm as a final hurdle, Penelope saw the same storm and interpreted it as a divine omen. Also, I love the detail of the owl watching!
Best Challenge animatic by far. Complete coloring AND smooth animation, this is a gem. Great job!
Aaaaaah thank you Drake! I love Penelope so I really did extra effort for her :)
It’s Gwendy, ofc it’s gonna be hella good. She’s one of the big epic animators, others such as gigi, Ximena Natzel, Crashite etc
I mean, it's not really an animatic, it's a full animation.
@ It shows!
Yep, I just changed the one I had in the playlist I share to my friends haha
Aww Ody at the end. I love your work and I love you have portrayed Penelope. From seeing her sadness, her hope and her longing.
Beautiful
Thank you so much for mentioning the rollercoaster that is Penelope's emotions! I've been trying my best to convey that so I'm so happy you noticed :D
You're very welcome 😊
2:51 IT'S ODY!!!
From when he saw Penelope, to the whole scene with him following her through the crowd of suitors and trying to reach out her just TUG AT MY HEARTSTRINGS WHYYYY 😭😭😭😭
EDIT: I just noticed that at 2:56 when "Penelope" was said, he started following her! It's as if he's calling her name and desperately trying to get to her through the suitors auuuughhhh 😭😭😭😭
I JUST KNOW ITS GOTTA BE EPIC
THAT WAS SO EPIC!!
Thank you :D
@ns2dstudios YW ATE 😋😋
Everything aside, the shere quality, the detail, the colors.... so rich! I'm in awe. Wonderful piece of animation.
Thank you! I tried my best to push the envelope even further with this one.
the way that the colors in the start were so bright then when she entered the room full of suitors the colors went dark then when she had the flashback/memory of ody the colors turned brighter >
The shot with the arrows all flying at her as the music disappears and all comes back broke me. The entire last section with Odysseus shattered me. AMAZING JOB GWENDY!!!
the longing touches, the yearning hands- they love e/o sm your honour
Oh man, the stuff I can talk about the touches. Penelope longing so much for Ody that she tenderly caresses everything that reminds her about him
@ns2dstudios the longing caresses always makes me tear up, it's such a simple and subtle way of relaying a massage of longing and yet it resonates very, very deep. Most things in that palace were of her husband's creations, the marriage bed that has been half-empty for 2 decades, the palace halls bearing the fading marks of his hands as the undeserving men try to stake their claims.

I can hear Casper crying from here.
Absolutely phenomenal 👏 👏👏
You *know* he absolutely will be once he sees this. 😆

Poor Ody. So close and yet unable to reach her just yet. That was definitely the moment he decided all the suitors had to die.
THIS IS SO GORGEOUS AAAA Thank you for blessing my eyes T-T)o (Also saw your shorts! They were so beautiful and I'm glad I subscribed to see this masterpiece
2:58 Odysseus following Penelope 🥺😢
INCREDIBLE. it looks like an 90’s anime. It’s so gorgeous and smooth
2:29 D::: OMG I lOVE THIS ANIMATION THE COLOUS EVERYTHING¡¡¡
Not only in color, but the animation was smooth as heck. AND IT'S THE RIGHT BOW?! Amazing.
Thank you! I'm really happy you enjoyed this as it was a lot of work haha
@@ns2dstudios Honestly, thank YOU for all the work, like holy crap. Keep rocking it. 😁 Just remember to take breaks. Lol.
I love this so much, Penelope's excitement when she realised it's a sign Ody's coming back, the suitors aiming at her, the 12 axes shot goes just as hard as the first time we've seen it.

I just recently found the EPIC Musical and fell in love musically and now I cant for all the animations aaaaahhh❤
You did such an amazing job❤🎉
I love it so much! I love the part where Odysseus tries to reach out to Penelope before the door closes. Amazing as usual
OMG NO WAY! UA-cam HID THIS FROM ME FOR A WHOLE 5 HOURS??!!!!!
Oh my gosh THIS IS AMAZINGGGG GWENDY YOU ARE A LEGEND!!! (I’m definitely not annoying all my cousins by sending them this)
Hahahahah thank you and thank you for helping spread the word!
the combination of the 80s anime deedlit shoulder pauldron and the very historically accurate palintonos is sending me what a style choice
This is absolutely gorgeous! The way you portray Penelope's hope and resolve is beautiful! The colors are perfect, and everything is just so spectacularly done, Thanks so much for sharing!
That was amazing!! The animation… the lighting!! i’ll have to admire it so much more tomorrow when it’s not 1am lmao
Thank you so much for staying up to watch! Now rest up haha thank you again!
Absoutely INCREDIBLE. I can't express just how far the EPIC animatic community has come! This is amazing!

It's amazing to see this finished after being in so many live streams. Also, it's the best challenge animatic I've seen!
I like how the hall with the suitors looks completely devastated. It really emphasizes how plundered the palace was because of them.
One of my favourite songs ever and ive been looking forward to this since the previews AAAAA this is so awesome!! ❤
Amazing work! One of the most well done fort this song so far!
Amazingly done, Gwendy!! 🎉🎉 It turned out wonderful!!
Beautiful animation Gwendy! I really loved the part where we see Odysseus running after her
The designs of Odysseus and Penelope are absolutely stunning. I love the matching blue and gold
Thank you! Yes, complimentary colors

It looks like a whole Disney Animation holy cow
Gods it’s just as amazing as I expected it to be. You’re so talented gwendy💜
Beautiful! It's so beautiful it made me cry (wanting for a full Epic the Musical animated series). Wonderful work, Master Gwendy!
For me it’s The Challenge to not cry at how beautiful this is😭
You can see how excited she is in the way she runs, and then the shift in her demeanour when she's before the suitors is fantastic!
