Fun fact my PC blue screened five times in the making of this animatic
Oh no! Glad you were able to finish it though!
If it was 6 times it would be really poetic 😂
The gods keep being salty
You're suffering to make us happy :)) Thanks for feeding the fandom with amazing animatics 😁
Epic the musical plus Wolfy is too much epicness for one electronic device.
The smile at 1:43 is a sweet touch. Actually Odysseus looks so hopeful in this. Like he still looks tired and a bit sad, but he's constantly smiling.
I agree! And it makes sense, given that at this point in the Odyssey the winds are in their favor and the Trojan War is finally over. Makes the trials and tribulations they go through all the more gut punching. They were so close to home…
Well said!
That’s the thing at this point in the story: he still has hope.
It also fits because whenever I heard that line, I always _hear_ his smile, if that makes sense.
It looks like a parent smiling at their child's pureness
Love the depiction of Odysseus's eagerness and desperation to get home at 0:36 to 0:43. Of course he wants to get back to his home, to his kingdom. Buts it's at the mention of Penelope, that the desperation takes hold for a few seconds, where he looks like a man who would do almost anything, even jump off the boat and leave his men behind, just to get home to her. Absolutely love it
Oh my you are right! It is the look of someone who is "already there". Indeed he almost seems able to jump off the ship and swim like the wind to go to them!
Perfectly said.
That part brought a tear to my eye
Tbh if I hadn't seen my husband for 12 years or any man I'd be dying to get home too. I'd be staved for human touch 😂
WOLFY CARRYING THE WHOLE FANDOM ON THEIR BACK. THIS IS AMAZING
I KNOW I’M IN AWE
Mad respect!!!
Ok but I love how not only does Odysseus smile with Polites, but the little smile when he sings about Penelope and how hopeful he looks to be getting home it just AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
And Polites covering his ears at the mention of violence and raiding an island is just pure childlike innocence I can’t 😭
I've been listening to Epic songs the entire day, so lets continue shall we? Full speed ahead!
This is actually me
I have been listening to these songs for 3 days on repeat
ODYSSEUS' SMILE WHEN POLITES SHOWED UP, MY HEART ;-; also Polites covering his ears and the expression he made when Eurylochus suggested violence was so cute
ALSO ALSO the flashes to Scylla , Charybdis, and Polyphemus gave me a lil shiver of anticipation ngl
Wonderful as always Wolfy
1:42 MY HEART :D
I second the appreciation of Polites' reaction!
0:34 The “it’s what lies in between” bit is so cool :D
yup
3
Surely nothing bad will happen to this man… surely…
If you haven’t listened to the musical, I have some sad news for you in a few songs 😭
Also I love Eurylochus’s face at 2:40 he’s just like “why am I the one dealing with these idiots”
He’s the father of the group and Polites and Odysseus are his sons 😂
When Eurylocochus want to steal poiletes was like …
They're likely childhood friends, with the biggest idiot being your king AND brother-in-law.
Does anyone else notice that Odysseus smiles at the thought of Penelope, Polites, not being on a boat, and food
This is so beautiful! The flashes of what’s to come when Odysseus sings “it’s what lies inbetween” have me worried 😱 if only Odysseus wasn’t doomed 😞
I absolutely adore the fact that we're able to HEAR Odysseus's smile when he greets Polites. And it's not a small smile! Nuh-uh! It's clearly a face-splitting grin of happiness. It's so sweet!❤
I always felt bad for Odysseus and his men. All of them died except for him and he was gone, what, 20 years? All because he hurt the gods fragile feelings 🥲
Freaking Polities expressions when they talk about raiding the island.
"Really Eurylochus? Infront of my salad!?" vibes.
Holy shit I followed the process on twitter, this turned out SO well!
Polities is that little cinnamon role everyone wants to protect at all cost but we all know he is too good for this world.

@@ashycofi185💀
@@ashycofi185 HOW DARE YOU BRING THAT UP?!?! 😰😭
Polites' expression at 2:04 got me cackling!!! This was so guuuud :D Loved it
Polites
they all look so happy, I hope nothing horribly tragic happens, especially to the glasses wearing cinnamon bun known as Polities! (shoves the Cyclops saga in a bag with locks under the bed) I LOVE HOW ODYSSEUS IS THE SHORTEST.
On another note, first of all, your animatic is mindblowingly amazing, as always. The range of emotion and the little details in how they all move is perfect! And it's really cool that you included the twin tree bed, that was a cool reference to the original myth.
Ikr!! The dynamic btwn Odysseus, Eurylocus, and Polites is so great- nothing bad ever happens to them, nope, not at all, the Lotus Eaters direct them towards a cave of food with absolutely no danger, and Eurylocus and Odysseus never end up in a fight (Scylla who?)
I didn’t even realize he was the shortest until you mentioned it. Now I can laugh at him in my shortness as well 😂😂
@@tumblingartist Apollos cows what? Never heard of them. Don't exist. Why would they be a problem? *Nervously laughs as the closet hinges shake*
Also, do you know where I can find the rest of the songs for this? I'm seeing them everywhere on UA-cam, but I can't find them on Spotify or Apple Music.
@@huskyspot4177 only the first 9 (Troy saga and Cyclops saga) have been officially released, the rest are pretty much only on tik tok (and crossposted to UA-cam)
Odysseus being short is actually mythologically accurate! I believe it was mentioned when he couldn't beat Ajax, known for his size and strength, in a wrestling match precisely for that reason
I'm so glad you are making these animations! I love Epic so much and love seeing your beautiful visual representations, so thanks!😁
Ikr!! It’s lovely seeing Wolfy’s art for EPIC
i LOVE the fact that you can just hear the smile in Odysseus’s voice when he says “Polites”, it’s SO FREAKING CUTE
The fact that the most replayed part of this animation is the part where Polites comes in speaks volumes 🥲
0:24 TH- THE BED!! I SAW IT!! AAAA
This is awesome, I love ths song so much and you definetly made it justice
2:36 - Love that Eurylochus is just like "these are my friends *sigh*"
I'm in love with your work!
My friend refuses to listen to the musical until you release all the songs animated 😭 She just wants to watch your animations because she thinks they add the most to the atmosphere - and we all can agree!
You are THE BEST OMG❤️
the way his eyes crinkle for polities
Rewatching for that smile when Polities appeared. It's so cute and good job to singer, you can HEAR that Odysseus smiled at that part
I love the references to all the monsters they’ve got to meet AND the olive tree??? Perfection. Also Eurylochus and Polites in your aet style give me life
this animatic does SUCH a good job at showing the hope and joy and contentment of Odysseus finally having won the war, being on his way back, thinking all the violence is over. It's putting everything that comes after into a whole new perspective for me, it's incredible.
The expressions are so amazing. You can see how much Odysseus cares about his friends (especially Polites). The cuts to the different monsters was a really nice touch, too. Good job!
YES YES IM SO HAPPY THIS IS AWESOME it's so heartbreaking seeing odysseus so cocky and excited and confident. his men are happy to follow him bc they lliterally have just experienced victory under him. i never really realized how heartbreaking and guilt-inducing it would be for odysseus nowing that he literally lead all his men to death. this is amazing you captured it realy well
STOP POLITIES IS SO CUTE 🥹
I love how each of the characters seem to have a signature instrument, Odysseys being an electric guitar, Eurylochus a bass, and Polites a guitar. I think it really brings out their characters.
I FRICKING LOVE THIS
Odysseus’s hopeful but tired expression is **chefs kiss** and his smile when polities shows up is so-
Aaaaaa
HOLY- I CAN'T BELIEVE I JUST WOKE UP TO A MASTERPIECE.
The panning, the expressions, your art in general; they're all so good! The combination of the scenes you chose to draw, with the lyrics, has me absolutely breathless because my goodness. It's. Just so good. That doesn't even properly describe how overtaken I am by this beautiful animatic.
Also, gotta love how Odysseus seems so carefree in this animatic :'). Nothing will go wrong, definitely. 2:02 is definitely one of my favorite frames because Polites' face was like, "Are you even _listening_ to yourself-?" 2:23, that smile, followed by "and if we don't return," I'm just- ༼;´༎ຶ ༎ຶ༽.
Literally took the words right out of my mouth- :D
1:41
- captain
- ✨polites✨
You've got such a knack for the human figure that I am convinced you are/were an art or animation student. Its subtle things like each character having their own build and face, the attention to the background, and shots to tempo. The kicking over the barrel to end on the low note of "Depleted" didn't need to be there or the ors in focus but it adds so much. This is so cinematic. Every shot in the animatic has more thought and effort put in than the entire "Cats" movie. Also, the flashes of the monsters are a perfect touch.
I just started my first year of animation actually! on my second semester :D
I do love the flashes. The Greek myth has some baller monsters beyond just the classic “Minotaur, hydra, chimera, Medusa.” You got sorceresses like Circe, you got the original “rock and a hard place” with Charybdis and Scylla. If you branch away from the odyssey you got stuff like typhon, and even the Erinyes.
Knowing how the oddesy ends, I highly doubt 600 men are gonna make it back alive
i love how it`s canon that Polites wears glasses😍
The first Lyrics make it so sad already! His goal was to bring them all home safely.
He didn't manage to bring not even one!
I love your animations. They are so emotional and full of expression!
Interesting design for Odysseus as younger man too (if I recall from Iliad he was called extremely tall and broad and "ram-like" which probably stands for his black bushy and curly hair and beard). It gives him a sweeter look of an adventurer !
2:28 THAT LIL' RUN THAT'S SO CUTE I CAN'T
Dude, Jorge NEEDS To See This!! THIS IS INCREDIBLE!
2:04 Polites Face Had Me Rolling😂😂😅
I swear each time I see Polites cute and adorable face in every single one of those goddam epic animatic, there's something that breaks in me knowing that he's going to be killed, do you want me to die ??
Odysseus was so happy to see Polites my heeeaart
Also the tree bed he made for Penelope being shown
ODYSSEUS’ SMILE WHEN HE SAW POLITES IM CRYINGGGGGGG YOU CAN HEAR HIS SMILE😭😭
Oh my goodness, Wolfy, you have outdone yourself! I love seeing your new animatics and because of you my interest and love for EPIC has grown exponentially! I love how you portray the characters, expecially Odysseus. You capture every emotion in such an elegant style, I am in love. Can't wait for more animatics like this one! Amazing job!
2:00 Polites I can't 🤣 I love the amount of thought that goes into each character's gestures and expressions. It makes them feel so alive!
Polites and Oddysseus running off like kids almost and Eolcyus (as close as I can spell) just like: you both are insane
Wolfy back at it again with the god-tier animatics. Every shot is awesome. The ships, the kingdom, the rowers, Polites being adorable here, and the expressions you gave Odysseus (well, everyone, but him especially) when he's looking out at sea longingly melts my heart. Poor guy just wants to see his family again.
Odysseus: 600 men UNDER my command
Also Odysseus: *literally stands 5 inches under said men*
I love it too much--and your composition of shots is so great! Great work :D
Ok now imagine Dreamworks working with @wolfythewitch and the Composer of the songs to make a full musical 2D movie like the masterpices we saw in the 90's
I'm utterly amazed! The movements, the expressions the vibess it's all so immaculately made! I love your animations, thank you so much for this beautiful work :D
0:24 - Whoa, you even included THAT bed? That's awesome!
Beautiful animation! There is so much to like in this, I especially love the way you show what they are implying at "it's what lies in between" where it briefly flashes a few of the monsters they encounter during their voyage
I JUST NOTICED THE DETAIL OF THE BED BEING CARVED FROM THE TREE HOLY SHIT THAT'S SUCH A DEEP CUT THAT JUST MAKES THIS EVEN BETTER
The Odyssey has always been near and dear to my heart, and that level of attention to detail seriously means a lot to me. Keep up the great work!
i am dead- after a day of limping around the city for hours you managed to make my day, the animated parts are amazing and i absolutely adore how you draw the characters as well as how you capture their dynamics and emotions (My Goodbye comes to mind a lot)
I literally watch your animatics on loop and am amazed every time I find a new detail I missed before, you're amazing just like your art, keep up the wonderful work !
OH MY GOSH... your design for the olive tree weddingbed?? The idea of having the tree still alive instead of just a bed from its wood is just *CHEFFS KISS*!
The design of the tree bed is so gorgeous!! And the way he leaned more and more forward at "Penelope's waiting" ouughh
SIX HUNDRED MEN
0:36 - 0:56 Is just absolutely beautiful! His vocals are just out of this world.
This is GORGEOUS! The longing on his face when he sings of his home and Penelope, the smile when Polites shows up, I adore the expressions in this!
I will literally never get sick of your art. I can’t wait until the songs with some of the other gods come out! If you choose to animate those I’m excited to see how you design them
I love how polities’s design is so unanimously agreed on because it’s so perfect, yes I agree that silly little guys with a peaceful disposition, headband, freckles, and glasses (bonus points for curly hair) is the perfect choice for a heart shattering moment.
ODYSSEUS LOOKS SO SWEET especially 1:43 WITH POLITES OMG 😭 THE TRAUMA HASNT SET IN YET
I love your animations! They fit perfectly with the songs and are exactly how I imagined the characters would act!!! You bring the songs to life! Also, I adore your character designs, especially Ody. These are perfect in every sense!
I onnly recently got into Epic and your animatics/animations are seriously one of the best things about it, I love them so much (and your art in general)
Your hard work and skills really show, and I love all the creative choices you make for them!!
Thanks a lot for your hard work it's amazing ;)
Me too
UA-cam has the audacity to think I need subtitles-excuse me I know all these songs by heart
God the cyclops eye opening is amazing I watch that one part over and over
I'm literally so invested. I KNOW THIS STORY. I'VE HEARD THE SONGS. But it's completely new and different and BREATHTAKING when you do it. The direction, the movement, every artistic choice heightens the experience. You make me remember and appreciate animation again, and it makes me so happy. I love what you do and I felt the love and effort in every frame. So so gorgeous.
Ok but Polites' flabbergasted expression at Eurylochus is priceless
Eurylochus's face palm. I relate with that expression on a spiritual level. Odysseus should have listened to his right hand man.
2:10 Polities hittin’ that high note is just MMM! 👌
I'm really fangirling over this Politics
Full Speed Ahead is such an underrated song
I love have you did the fast-passed but detail showcase of all the different monsters that lie ahead on the journey. 0:34
Yes!!! Dude I'm so excited you're into this fandom, your design for Odysseus is peak. I'd also say this song might be my favorite so far. I guess I wasn't joking when I said we are getting an animated movie before the a live production lol
2:39 Eurylochus looks absolutely so done 😂
AA I LOVE IT
0:25 love the detail of Odysseus and Penelopes bed made out of an actual tree 😘
Ngl now I want Epic to be an animated musical rather than a stage one
Another beautiful animatic
I LOVE IT
it was so funny when polites was flipping out when eurylochus said be violent and when u showed the other monsters Odysseus fought bfkksvdidn
Yeah they sure went full speed ahead to their deaths. Aint I right Polyophemus?
0:25 rewatching this, oh my god its the. its the marriage bed. the one. ITS THE BED!!! rhats such a good detail oh my god, this is truly a work of art
THIS WAS SO CUTE. SMILING ODYSSEUS 😭😭😭 and polites is a cutie
Just. The expressions. They are HILARIOUS.
I kid you not, this is *brilliant.* I think your animatics for this musical have been my favourite so far due to the detail, facial expressions, movements- you put a lot of work into these and it really pays off!! Thanks for making them :))
I'm on 10 seconds of the video and it's already soo good
I love how Eurylochus facepalms but then in the next shot he's already smiling. can't stay mad at Polites
GAAAAAAA IT'S SO GOOD! It's dynamic and inventive and the body language of each character is so distinct. Plus the nods to future monsters AND the little flashback of Odysseus and Penelope's bed? Amazing amazing amazing
WHY DID I ONLY JUST REALIZE THE BED!? 😅 Ive only seen this vid about 20 times. Its so good
INCLUDING THE BED AT THE VERY BEGINNING I CAAANNNN'TT!!! Also your design for it so super super pretty!!
00:48 HIS SMILE OMG HE THINK HES GONNA BE HOME SOON HE DONT KNOW WHATS GOING TO HAPPEND-
Polites is my favorite character so far in the musical songs already, and the way he were drawned just, UGH, made me love him even more!
The thumbnail made me laugh polites looks like he just heard something that he wasn’t supposed to
Why Odysseus and Polites remind me of Percy and Jason? The glasses and optimistic smile is so on brand with Jason, as well as the longing to meet his wife (the Annabeth) for Percy. Idk, just something I randomly thought about
woah I didnt even think of that.... but its so true
When he says polites, his voice goes up an octave- and he sound so happy AND HE SMILED SO HAPPILY, IM SAD NOWWWW😭😭😭
Pfft Odysseus looked so happy when he said "600 men can make this whole place burn" and then the facepalm lmao that's gold
THOSE POOR MEN help your animatics just made their tragedy like 10x more immersive 😭
That f*cking BED. I've kept up with you on Tumblr and I can tell the bed makes you very emotional.
IT DOESSS
THE TREE WEDDING BED!!! ITS SO ROMANTIC I LOVE THAT PART
I love the "It's what lies in between" segment showing glimpses into his next challenges!
Another amazing animatic! I absoluetely love how you give so much character to people you are drawing even if they aren't the ones singing. Also loved the face Polites made when Eurylochus was singing.
