I don't know if anyone realises just how true this statement yes odysseys has a spiral downward as he stands against everything to the point where he is no longer the same man but he had to take that burden because at least as far as I can tell no one else had the competency when he chooses them to die later on that is their comeuppance for the crime of apathy
Listen if I was one of the sailors after fighting this storm and then my captain went into the sky, came down with a bag, and said not to open it and we had clear travel for 9 freakin days!?! That damn bag is staying closed till I’m on land.
RIGHT?! I personally like the idea that the way Poseidon destroyed his fleet left him with only his mutineers left to rely on (since they were on his ship). So literally a couple dumbasses out of the 600 ruined it for everyone, got them killed, and will now proceed to be the pigs they are and cause Odysseus even more pain. He survived Poseidon’s wrath just to be stuck with chucklefucks.
I love the odyssey but I can’t remember if odysseus was not allowed to tell them what was in the bag also at least here they were tempted to open it instead of just think their captain was being greedy and not sharing some treasure he got I always hated that they did that. Also love that he immediately told them what was in it before the mystic whispering came into play.
@@user-bq6hr3nf5h Well, I like to think that even if Odysseus told them, for some of the crew it sounded like a blatant lie. "Yeah, sure, all of the winds in such a small bag? Why isn't it floating, huh?"
There once was a Merchant of Baghdad whose servant came running into the house in great distress. 'Oh Master,' he said, 'I was in the market place today, and I saw a hooded figure. He turned and faced me, cried out and raised his hand and made a threatening gesture toward me, and I saw that it was Death himself come to claim me! Oh Master, what shall I do?' 'Take my horse and ride like the wind. Head for the city of Mosel, it is over 500 miles away, Death will never think to look for you there.' Replied the Merchant. Nodding gratefully, his servant left at once. Alone, the Merchant grew curious. Had his servant really seen Death in the market, or had he been mistaken, or did he lie to steal a horse? Determined to investigate, the Merchant made his way down to the market, and looked around. Spying a tall man in a dark hooded robe, he made his way over to him and boldly tapped him on the shoulder. The figure turned, to reveal the skull face of Death. MAY I HELP YOU? The Merchant gasped, 'You are Death?' I AM. 'Then please, tell me, earlier today when you saw my servant in the market, why did you make a threatening gesture at him?' IT WAS NOT A THREATENING GESTURE, BUT ONE OF SURPRISE. I WAS AMAZED TO SEE YOUR SERVANT TODAY IN BAGHDAD, FOR YOU SEE, I HAVE AN APPOINMENT WITH HIM THIS VERY NIGHT, OVER 500 MILES AWAY IN MOSEL.
My favorite thing about this is that you'd think the men would be like "huh, things are going well ever since we got that bag...maybe we don't f*ck with it. I mean he doesn't even look happy to have it tbh", but instead its "What's in the bag? Bag? Bag? What's in the baaaaaag. Because treasure will TOTALLY do something for me stranded in the middle of the ocean."
all they had to do was wait until they were on land. thats all they had to do. it would've been so easy. it would've only been, like, another week or so
@JohannaMcClure a week is actually too much, in the Odyssey, they can see Ithaca's beach when the bag is opened and they are blown back to Aeolus' island, so basically they couldn't even wait a few more hours
Aside from the cyclops basically all deaths were the fault of the crew. Like, in the myth they could already see Ithaca when they opened the bags like the fools they are
yeah, IT'S RIGHT THERE, JUST WAIT LIKE A FEW MORE DAYS, if you're that desperate. wait till you get home THEN open the bag. cause what would you lose? you're home now. treasure, NICE. not treasure, ah well. WE MADE IT HOME.
Okay the one who opened the bag, *cough* Eurylicus *cough*, was the one who killed the other ships that drown cause if you think about it, they didn't even know their was a bag except the shop Odysseus was on. Maybe he should've just went on another ship I don't know but the one who opened the bag had the most fault... Yah I'm talking about you Eurylicus, SHAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMEEEEE!!!!!
I hate this take, the Odyssey is a warning about pride. the second Aeolus said any of the things he did Odysseus should have known the bag was a trap. Odysseus thought himself smarter than multiple gods and it got his crew killed.
I love how you captured Aeolus as cunning and yeah, playful. Their little clouds whispering to the crew to make them want to open the bag Them watching Odysseus closely knowing full well the crew mates will open the bag. Also, POSEIDON'S ENTRANCE? i love it sm this was amazing
@@SarahPontikis-tz6dw Aeolus is the wind, but given a physical body, basically. Specific winds like Zephyr and Boreas have also been on occasion able to do that, but Aeolus is the general concept of the wind in itself
Aeolus design is literally gorgeous, i cant express how beautiful you made this entire animatic. I love the implication that Aeolus didn't just give Odysseus the sack out of the goodness of her heart, but because she wanted to enjoy watching him try to fulfill the condition. I love the look of predatory joy on her face as she watches Odysseus fail, to which she herself pushed his crew. Its not very often when people depict gods as mischivous, but it is actually how it was - Gods do not make contracts, they make toys.
Love how the wind god is colorful while everyone is muted and in grey scale except in the dream to show that they are not real and like they are above the world
2:38 shows how desperate he was to get back to his family…”I keep on trying to embrace you both why won’t you let me?!” He was sleeping, and all he could think about was hugging and being with his family but his sub conscious was doing everything it could to wake him up.
And he (basically) says "I swear I haven't changed" because he's seeing both of them "not letting him" embrace them. So his unconscious is concerned that they will see him as a monster after all of this is done.
@@aidenlosee right! It’s so beautifully written the fact that he believes they don’t want to embrace him because he’s changed whole time they just want him to stay awake and not fall into deep sleep so he doesn’t get lost in the storm is just mwah💋
Man, the gods really just loved screwing around with the mortals. Didn't really matter if they were ruthless and cold, or seemingly playful. Aeolus set him up for failure and just watched and waited for the inevitable. Even when it was opened she still said, "You weren't compliant!" knowing full well that he did everything he could do keep the bag open. But I love how Aeolus is shown here. Seemingly innocent at the start but having that almost sinister grin at 3:17
I remember a UA-camr pointing out something the non religious often miss with Gods in religious stories. They’re not people, in modern stories we write gods as people but Gods are just the embodiment of concepts and so operate on that. What they are is the same as who they are. Zeus is a womanizing man and an absolute tyrant but he’s the God of Storms, Hospitality and Olympus. He brutally punishes those that break oaths or harm guests and makes new gods, Hera sticks with him because she’s motherhood and familial bonds. Aeolus is wind, fickle, mischievous but nonetheless dangerous. Gods in religion are just forces of nature given the ability to think. It’s in their nature to be a certain way.
Yeah, seems to be closer to the later versions of the story where Aeolus was a little more devious. In the original version, Aeolus was trying to be nice by containing all the unfavorable winds for Odysseus, but decided to stop helping when his crew opened the bag and got blown back to his island (Aeolus was male). He figured they must be cursed by the gods and didn't want to get involved with it. In later versions, the gods basically had a betting pool going on whether or not Odysseus would make it home. Aeolus bet against him, and gave him the bag knowing what would most likely happen.
0:39 I like to think when he says “I give the fire enough to stay burning” it foreshadows the future. When he says not to let the crew open the bag but he instigates the crew to do so. He’s fueling the fire of desire to open the bag to the point where he knows for a fact they will open it because of not only of their own curiosity but also because of the small whispers he sends them to keep them curious. EDIT: I did not know Aeolus was a man! I don’t know shit about mythology.
trueee!! also btw, even though Aeolus is depicted as a woman in this animation, he's actually a man both in mythology and the musical (just voiced by a woman) :]
@@alphalupy I was actually confused at first when listening to the song for the first time, because Aeolus is a man in myths, but I do like the idea that (s)he is a woman in the musical version as the gods can change their form into whatever they please. So it's not entirely inaccurate in comparison to the myths. But her voice is so perfect for this so I just might not care in that aspect.
@FumiKuroCh Oh I hadn't even thought of that!! Ig anything can be true... Personally tho I'm a sucker for male characters being voiced by women when the voice fits them (like for example it makes Aeolus sound more playful) so I think I'll go with that interpretation :3 (also HUGE Venti vibes)
@@alphalupy Venti is far more friendly than Aeolus, but also a massive drunkard lol. But yeah, to me if the character seems to be on the younger side, or doesn't have a deep voice it's just easier to get a woman to voice them given they can do a younger male voice that hasn't hit the deeper tones that some men get when they age.
Wow wow WOW DUDE!!! You captured this song PERFECTLY! Major props for the design of Aeolus, so unique and yet exactly what I imagined with an adorable carefree veneer and something malevolent lurking beneath. The designs of the mini wind spirits are also so freaking cute! AND PENELOPE IS SO PRETTY!!! The emotions were so visceral and beautiful portrayed as Odysseus was pleading and reaching for his family. So well done!
@@anniefemmas5097yeah! I personally don't really see aeolus as an evil force, just one who sees Odysseus and his soldiers as people to be played with. They don't matter enough to her to care, so she just wants to see what will happen
@@juliasings6131 That's right, he didn't even do anything really bad, he just played with them, if Odysseus's men had trusted him enough they would have arrived home. She gave him the instructions and told him "let's play a game" and that's what they did (for her of course) If they could have prevented the bag from opening they would have taken it home, they didn't. I'm going to say it but 50% of the problems would have been avoided if the crew hadn't been kind of stupid sometimes.
I'm saying it now, that Aeolus design is my favourite so far. Her design is both beautifully stunning, unique and her expressions come off as both playful, flirtatious and a serious threat!! The animatic in itself has outstanding visuals with such a smooooooth art style. The sequences are amazing too such as Aeolus playfully messing with Odysseus to the more action packed and serious scenes of Ody and the Crew trying to stop the storm. I could keep going but you best know how amazing you are already 🤩
Airy playful and free. See ose three words? Thats how (s)he is supposed to be. But don't mistake her for kind,for you see,the wind is as rutheless as one thing could be.
is no one gonna talk about how polities forms in the clouds when they say"Everythings changed since Polites"? Cuz i thought that was genius( its at 2:09 if you want the time stamp)
1:01 i LOVE LOVE LOVE the silhouettes of the "friends" looking like theyre made of clouds because they were created by aeolus!! its such a cool detail!!!
The songs are just such bangers and go hard for no reason And you breathe even more emotion and life than was already present in the songs with your art and animatics.
Simply incredible. The goosebumps I got from Penelope telling Odysseus to just just keep his eyes open, and her panic when they started opening the bag was awesome. Very, very well done!
Eurylochus waiting on the deck of the trireme like an impatient girlfriend as Odysseus goes on YET ANOTHER hare-brained mission for some crazy BS is SENDING me.
Aeolus looks so mischievous! And i love how the same clouds are used in the "friends close enemies closer" line. I never pictured it like that before, but now i sure do :D
The way Odyssyus smiles thinking he is in the clear in the rain and all of a sudden it STOPS, and you hear Poseidon scream out his name and he appears. It's great! Such an underrated part I loved it.
This looks wonderful! I love the designs for the wind goddess or god and her/his/their trouble makers. Odysseus is so tired of everybody's nonsense, and oh no at that ending. 1:42 that's a look! 2:55 got those designer eye bags 2:57 Not Ody trying to explain to Penelope how he hasn't changed 😢 3:05 well, great googly moogly ever just went into a downward spiral ( bless her, she tried) 3:27 excuse you, I FELL ASLEEP! 4:04 😮😭😣😱😱😱 Poseidon!
1) The animatic is smooth and truly amazing 2) The effort and time to make this earns my respect 3) For some odd reason my sister thinks the very beginning of this song reminded her of the Boondocks intro Loved the vid :)
I gotta say the more I watch the enchanted music and reading the story it seems Odysseus had a lot of dimwitted crews that fell easily for dangers. From falling for the wind goddess tricks, eating foods from strange nymph to hunting a scared deer. Maybe I’m looking too deep into this
1:50 you can see how Ximena foreshadowed that they were going to open the bag, by how nonchalant and uncaring their attitudes are towards Ody! I think that’s so cool!
2:23 Odysseus just looks like a drunken sailer here hehe Aaanyways this is amazing Ximena! Your expressions are on point and Aeolus blowing a kiss is so in character😂
This art is absolutely insane! you killed it with this one! the art for Aeolus is fantastic and fits the voice and style perfect, and i loved the scene of her flying above the ship with a smile just waiting. really props to you on this!
One of the best animatics of Epic I've seen! The raw emotion in the expressions, the poses, the cameras angles... And so many good details! I particularly like Penelope trying to get Odysseus to stay awake.
DUDE! I love seeing everyone's interpretations of Epic the Musical! This is so cool! And love how Mischievous Aeolus is! Really captured the Gods from the Mythology Stories I've read!
You know, everyone depicts Aeolus as a woman, and I get that. Female actress and all. But I always envisioned it as a younger child-version of Aeolus. Sidenote, this is probably the most gorgeous full-versiom of this. I've been waiting for something like this for a while, and you did not disappoint. I especially love the emotion you put in the eyes.
I NEED A RUTHLESSNESS ANIMATIC NOW this animatic captured the song so well! (Please do a ruthlessness animatic I need to see it) You have amazing talent, and I absolutely love how you captured all the characters so perfectly! This is basically exactly what I was imagining while listening to this song, and it’s super cool! Can’t wait to see more of your animatics in the future!
"Huh, i like soldier, poet, king, i guess I'll take the quiz everybody talks about, but i don't really have an expectation for what i'd want to be." Gets soldier: "i have gained no greater insight than i had before"
Great job! I love the design of Aeolus and how you made their movement language fit the character so well! Also the dream secuanse of Penelope and the kid (I forgot his name) was amazing
i am SCREAMING WITH PURE JOY!!! i habe been imagining f9r the past few days exactly this type of animation, and you've breathed my dreams into life!! their expressions, odysseus' pain and aeoles' unending smiles!! SPEAKING OF AEOLES!! oh my GOSH her design. oh my goddess. exactly how i pictured and EVEN BETTER!! the way SHE IS THE STORM YES YES YES, and her attitude!!! PERFECTION!!!!!
This appeared in my recomendations and is so fucking good. I love the design of Aeolus And when I saw the name of the channel I fucking froze, I was like Ximena Natzel? THE XIMENA NATZEL THAT DID THOSE TREE BROS VIDEOS AND THAT GHOST COMIC I WAS OBSESSED WITH? Is awesome to see how much you improved, the expressions, the perspective, everything is so much better
GOD there're so many amazing animators in this community but i keep coming back to your videos im so obsessed . I love the way you draw expressions so much you always capture the movements and emotions perfectly. And your odysseus design is so great,,,,, he's my guy (and of course in this specific animatic Aeolus looks so cool.......) all the love to u, you're amazing
Bravo! I am pretty sure you are the very first one to fully animate this song. If not oh well but hey this is amazing and very well done! Once more, BRAVO!!
You’re absolutely incredible!!!!! Amazing work! Like, I’m at a loss for words how much I loved it! I think my favorite part where she blew him a kiss sending the ships flying, it was a perfect touch!
This video is just perfect. The whole vibe is so good. I was so intrigued and sat through that whole thing just like the first time. Like shook and positively excited and both scared xD the tension was grip able 😮❤❤ so thanks I’d love to see ruthlessness from you but no pressure, do what feels right for you❤❤❤❤ thanks for this masterpiece, defo gonna rewatch this one plenty
This was SO WELL DONE!! I was waiting for a great animatic of this song to come along, since it’s one of my favorites. The character designs, the colors and the backgrounds are all fantastic
Odysseys: what’s the catch?
Aeolus: The catch? The catch is that your crew are morons

In-keeping with the tradition. The crew is Too Dumb to Live

is no one gonna talk about how polities forms in the clouds when they say"Everythings changed since Polites"? Cuz i thought that was genius( its at 2:09 if you want the time stamp)
Totally agree, we should talk about such a genius detail!!
I cant, that line is so sweet! The crew still thinks of Polites even after death
"that's what I'm serving"
Girls just serving in general
I’ve been trying to come up with designs for Greek gods to draw for a D&D setting I’m making… and I have some great inspiration for Aeolus from this.
Gosh! Same!
1:01 i LOVE LOVE LOVE the silhouettes of the "friends" looking like theyre made of clouds because they were created by aeolus!! its such a cool detail!!!
This is amazing! I LOVE AOELUS’S DESIGN SO MUCH. the amount of talent oh my god!
You know a character is drawen well when you get the unexplainable urge to simp for them
The songs are just such bangers and go hard for no reason
And you breathe even more emotion and life than was already present in the songs with your art and animatics.
Aeolus's depiction is just absolutely on point, perfect, no flaws.
Simply incredible. The goosebumps I got from Penelope telling Odysseus to just just keep his eyes open, and her panic when they started opening the bag was awesome. Very, very well done!
Eurylochus waiting on the deck of the trireme like an impatient girlfriend as Odysseus goes on YET ANOTHER hare-brained mission for some crazy BS is SENDING me.
This has to be one of the cleanest animatics I've seen, I loved every second of it!
Oh that design for Aoelus slaps! Love the sentient cloud earings, thats a really cute touch. Plus the art and animation is exelent ofcourse.
Aeolus looks so mischievous! And i love how the same clouds are used in the "friends close enemies closer" line. I never pictured it like that before, but now i sure do :D
The way Odyssyus smiles thinking he is in the clear in the rain and all of a sudden it STOPS, and you hear Poseidon scream out his name and he appears. It's great! Such an underrated part I loved it.
Her design got me feeling all sorts of things 😳
Happy to know I’m not the only one
Real
Damn would ya look at dat cloud!
My gosh from Aeolus design, to the Polites clouds, to dream Penelope REJECTING Odysseus AAAAARGGGHHHHH!!! TOO GOOD!!!
你繪製的風神是個頑皮且惡毒的心機女！好吧，這太厲害了!!這首歌的前半段，我就覺得奇怪（我以前都只聽到一半）以為祂只是個有點愛惡作劇的俏皮風神而已，沒想到她的狡詐藏的那麼深!
你畫的人物，相對線條上簡約，卻也很簡潔有力，帶出了每個角色的特點和讓人特別注意的細節（我超級喜歡風神刺青的(>O
This looks wonderful! I love the designs for the wind goddess or god and her/his/their trouble makers. Odysseus is so tired of everybody's nonsense, and oh no at that ending.
1:42 that's a look!
2:55 got those designer eye bags
2:57 Not Ody trying to explain to Penelope how he hasn't changed 😢
3:05 well, great googly moogly ever just went into a downward spiral ( bless her, she tried)
3:27 excuse you, I FELL ASLEEP!
4:04 😮😭😣😱😱😱 Poseidon!
Wind god. Hes male both in lore and musical.
@@JeffTheKiller-vb3kmHeadcanon: They are genderfluid because of being a wind god
@@theblaze5530Ok, but I mean. The story is the story. The original writer said that the Wind god is male. So, he is male.
@@JeffTheKiller-vb3kmand the creator of the musical said he wasn't going to care about gender, onl thaty the voice inspired him as the characters
@angier2350 Surpisingly Jorge Rivera-Herrans did not create greek mythology.
1) The animatic is smooth and truly amazing
2) The effort and time to make this earns my respect
3) For some odd reason my sister thinks the very beginning of this song reminded her of the Boondocks intro
Loved the vid :)
I think it's the flute. The boondocks end credits used one.
I gotta say the more I watch the enchanted music and reading the story it seems Odysseus had a lot of dimwitted crews that fell easily for dangers. From falling for the wind goddess tricks, eating foods from strange nymph to hunting a scared deer.
Maybe I’m looking too deep into this
Odysseus: Crew, Dont do some stupid stuff or else bad thing happens
Crew: *does thing anyways and is suprised bad thing happens*
Your composition is smooth and dynamic and oh my goodness the way you draw expressions of anguish after 2:50 THATS THE STUFF!!!
The cloud tattoos on Aeolus are also so transmasc … genius
I adore Aeolous' design, the cloud tattoos and flowing clothing as she floats around teasing them. Just great.
1:39 I love his expression here, you can see the desperation!!
1:50 you can see how Ximena foreshadowed that they were going to open the bag, by how nonchalant and uncaring their attitudes are towards Ody! I think that’s so cool!
This was so pretty!! I love how everyone looks and the tension as the song progresses!
the way this is so close to EXACTLY how I imagined an animatic for this is insane omg you’re amazing im obsessed
Havent seen a comment about this yet but I adore the lightning flashing behind Odysseus as he says "Storm" around 1:44.
I probably shouldn’t have the hots for your odysseus. The little stills of him smiling or being chill are what I live for now 😂😂 ❤❤❤
This whole thing is so pretty but can we all just appreciate how THICCQ my guy looks at 0:19? Dude has been LEAPING *WALLS* on leg day DAYYYUMMM 👀
Am i the only one attracted to the design of Aeolus😂😂
Not at all
2:23 Odysseus just looks like a drunken sailer here hehe
Aaanyways this is amazing Ximena! Your expressions are on point and Aeolus blowing a kiss is so in character😂
This art is absolutely insane! you killed it with this one! the art for Aeolus is fantastic and fits the voice and style perfect, and i loved the scene of her flying above the ship with a smile just waiting. really props to you on this!
this is supposed to be a dude
The amount of love, time, and effort put in to this clearly shows! You're an inspiration; Great work!
OMG AMAZING!! I can 100% assure that this is one of the best animatics of the ocean Saga that I have ever seen. Your Aeolus is THE BEST SO FAR ❤️❤️❤️
One of the best animatics of Epic I've seen! The raw emotion in the expressions, the poses, the cameras angles... And so many good details! I particularly like Penelope trying to get Odysseus to stay awake.
DUDE! I love seeing everyone's interpretations of Epic the Musical! This is so cool! And love how Mischievous Aeolus is! Really captured the Gods from the Mythology Stories I've read!
Captain, there is a hot wind blowing our sails!😂
You know, everyone depicts Aeolus as a woman, and I get that. Female actress and all. But I always envisioned it as a younger child-version of Aeolus.
Sidenote, this is probably the most gorgeous full-versiom of this. I've been waiting for something like this for a while, and you did not disappoint. I especially love the emotion you put in the eyes.
I NEED A RUTHLESSNESS ANIMATIC NOW
this animatic captured the song so well! (Please do a ruthlessness animatic I need to see it)
You have amazing talent, and I absolutely love how you captured all the characters so perfectly!
This is basically exactly what I was imagining while listening to this song, and it’s super cool!
Can’t wait to see more of your animatics in the future!
"Huh, i like soldier, poet, king, i guess I'll take the quiz everybody talks about, but i don't really have an expectation for what i'd want to be."
Gets soldier: "i have gained no greater insight than i had before"
This is so gorgeously done, I love your art style, and the expressions on everyone’s faces are so nicely done! Love this!!! 💙💙💙
The annoyed Eurylochus on the boat made me laugh, and I love this depiction of Aeolus.
I think this is one of my favorite animatics of this song I’ve seen so far, you capture the story telling wonderfully
She really went 🌬️✨
I love that design for Aeolus. So adorable looking, fitting of her playful and free nature.
3:49 after monster came out, i knew this scene would not happend again
"They want to get the bag open so they can have closure." Such a wind god tease!
This is by far my FAVORITE Aeolus design!!! I love this video so much 😭😊
THIS WAS SOO GOOD! AND I LOVE THE DESIGNS 🤩
Great job! I love the design of Aeolus and how you made their movement language fit the character so well! Also the dream secuanse of Penelope and the kid (I forgot his name) was amazing
I'm mesmorized, I'm speachless, this is incredible
I LOVE.
HER DESIGN
love the expressions as usual, they share emotions so well.
Thank you for another banger animatic eheheeheh
HOW DID YOU DO THIS SO FAST I FEEL LIKE THE ALBUM JUST DROPPED😭😭
Ur a goddess frfr
i am SCREAMING WITH PURE JOY!!! i habe been imagining f9r the past few days exactly this type of animation, and you've breathed my dreams into life!! their expressions, odysseus' pain and aeoles' unending smiles!!

2:19 THE WAY ODYSSEUS IS JUST DONE WITH EVERYTHING OMG (awsome job with the animatic it looks awsome💕)
This is so unbelievably gorgeous like wow- bro your design of Aeolus is fantastic too just AHHH incredible
This appeared in my recomendations and is so fucking good. I love the design of Aeolus
And when I saw the name of the channel I fucking froze, I was like Ximena Natzel? THE XIMENA NATZEL THAT DID THOSE TREE BROS VIDEOS AND THAT GHOST COMIC I WAS OBSESSED WITH?
Is awesome to see how much you improved, the expressions, the perspective, everything is so much better
OMG YOU ARE SO TALENTED AND I LOVE AEOLUS' LITTLE KISS, IT WAS SO COOL YOU'RE GETTING A NEW SUBSCRIBER!!

I love the way you draw expressions so much you always capture the movements and emotions perfectly. And your odysseus design is so great,,,,, he's my guy (and of course in this specific animatic Aeolus looks so cool.......) all the love to u, you're amazing
Bravo! I am pretty sure you are the very first one to fully animate this song. If not oh well but hey this is amazing and very well done! Once more, BRAVO!!
0:47 not Ody trying to literally catch the wind lol
You’re absolutely incredible!!!!! Amazing work! Like, I’m at a loss for words how much I loved it! I think my favorite part where she blew him a kiss sending the ships flying, it was a perfect touch!
Odysseus's whole journey must've had one of his guys muttering "how can this get any worse?"out of earshot the whole time.
I absolutely adore how you visualozed Aeolus' payful and yet dangerous character 🥺 Also, those little clouds are so damn adorable omg
THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL YOUR ARTSTYLE IS SO TASTYY
This video is just perfect. The whole vibe is so good. I was so intrigued and sat through that whole thing just like the first time. Like shook and positively excited and both scared xD the tension was grip able 😮❤❤ so thanks I’d love to see ruthlessness from you but no pressure, do what feels right for you❤❤❤❤ thanks for this masterpiece, defo gonna rewatch this one plenty
This was SO WELL DONE!! I was waiting for a great animatic of this song to come along, since it’s one of my favorites. The character designs, the colors and the backgrounds are all fantastic
this honestly breakes my heart, u did an amazing job!
I love the design choices you made for Aeolus. She’s so pretty and adorable
