ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE GLOWING IS CALYPSOS HAIR!! I remember in Gigi animatics when she was saying who she was her hair started to glow purple!! Very awesome!
Honestly i hope the animators for those commissions end up completing their animatics with those designs. Like id pay for fully cannon animatics with Jorge's seal of approval.
I love seeing everyone’s designs for these characters when making their fanarts and animatics! It’s so awesome seeing any fandom be creative, and since there’s so much mythology behind this, people’s designs and how they picture the characters in this musical can be so varied and always so, so fun!!
Yes! It really is so cool to see how many different people make things look. Currently I'm absolutely obsessed with Anniflama's Eldritch monstrosity of an angry Poseidon and the fact that they basically crammed every Apollo myth into their design of him and still made it work (my favorite little tidbit is that he has one of those charms, like the ones you hook on a bag, on an anklet and on his lyre, made up of the flowers that represent himself and his lovers!)
As someone who is also highly attuned to little details and loves making connections through them in my own work, I adore it when other people do the same! You are fantastic, Jorge! Know that we notice these subtleties and they make us ecstatic!
Dude, your work is truly GOD-LIKE, no pun intended. I really think EPIC is the coolest thing I've seen and heard all year. Your passion for your project is truly a joy to witness, keep on with your greatness, sir. You're no doubt a champion of The Muses. Cheers!
I love these videos because whenever I rewatch things, then I notice more and more details. This community is so amazing, thank you Jorge for this musical.
I still can’t believe I’m here right now, WHILE this legend ist being created. In ten years I’m gonna tell the theater kids how I saw EPIC at its very beginnings I really love your art, please never stop being so recklessly awesome.❤
Something I think is neat (and probably intentional) is that Odysseus's Guitar becomes more electric rather than acoustic when he is less "man" and more "monster/captain". It echoes his "I am neither man nor mythical" line really well and the juxtaposition of his guitar's many "sounds" lend well to this mantra, that he sort of sits between the magical and the practical worlds.
fun fact! i discovered last week that theres a jellyfish that has essentially built in LEDs, Comb Jellyfish!! so if you wanted to, the Gods could have LED lights/colors incorporated into the designs! (i have been listening to Epic over and over for a week now-)
I agree with every choice, but the horse motif from the Ruthlessness animatic where it's galloping around and looks dark and mystical is still amazing to me.
I love listening to epic on shuffled :') Ody goes on the most random adventures. One moment Hermes is psyching him up to battle Circe, the next he's throwing a child off a balcony.
I was at the Renaissance fair today and one of the vendors was playing "different beast" in their shop and We sat and geeked out about you and the musical for I little while. That interaction made my day!
I love hot Jorge breaks everything down, his enthusiasm and excitement is so infectious and it just makes me wanna create❤❤❤❤ keep creating Jay, you’re amazing
The more you explain about your music and characters development, the more inspired I get to design costumes for if the musical ever gets to be on a stage! I have a few drawn already but I'd love to do more, and I hope I can someday make them a reality- whether they're concepts of my own or yours ❤
I did not expect to see Tron: Legacy as part of the visual inspiration for some of the character designs, but now that it is pointed out I can very clearly see it's influence. 100% underrated film, that one... great source of inspo. indeed!
I love this so much! Have you ever thought of making an animated series of epic? Each song is an episode and each saga is a season. The character designs are amazing and epic is a masterpiece.
It would so sick if you got to do a cross-over with Smite in the future. I'd love to see the gods sing or speak snippets of their songs when they cast their ultimates.
That's it, that's my new goal in life. I am actively aiming to become Epic's official character designer (I would say costume but me and sewing don't exactly go together)
I loved that he talked about the character designs. One of my favorite parts of all of EPIC. I have to say, Tron is a really good movie and the shiny details on the costumes are really GOOD✨ The level of detail and planning in this is so great and incredible!
I need epic to be an animated musical SO bad, stage would be great too but seeing that epic has so many magical elements, it would be really hard to capture the beauty of this musical on stage. Animated would be perfect
love to see some love for TRON: Legacy!! I always thought the visual design of that movie was peak. Combo-ing electronic music and glow lined costumes is a perfect choice
Okay this is obviously unintentional but does anyone else think of the Zeus in Fortnite when they look at the clothes Epic Zeus wears? Especially the white variants they’re practically the same minus the boots and arm braces
i love Mr jalapeno talks!!! it's so fun to hear you talk about the characters and the story, and you're so passionate and excited about what you're doing. please keep doing more!
Tron legacy was one of my favourite shows, too!! Also, my friend and I LIVE for and LOVE the music you make, so keep it up!! Half the music in my liked songs on Spotify is from epic, and you were COOKING with the wisdom saga!!
I realized something with this, odysseus is expressed by an electric guitar, which is a non-electric instrument being brought through an electrical unit (not sure the definition.). Which overtime is lessened to a regular guitar if I remember properly, which could be a reference to divine influence and Athena's training. GOD. THIS MUSICAL IS SO GENIUS.
I have been so confused with Aeolus gender cause in the myths it’s a grumpy old dude but in Epic I thought they were a girl. Now I’m even more confused
I love the design for Ares! All the different Animatics that I've seen really capture what I pictured God to look like. And what I've heard for entrance in God Games you really captured how many of the Romans who worshiped Ares in their own way valued his War Values. And I just gave to give Chef Kiss to that! And I also love Aphrodite! Always withe delicate flowers and flowing pinks and yellows really gives off what I thought the Goddess of Love and Beauty would be for her aesthetic!
As someone who was already drawing designs for Epic characters of how i saw them in my head i love this so much its great writing all of this down. I nerd out so much about this just today I was talking about the different versions of Hermes in various shows musically and Design wise Hadestown, Epic, Stray gods even hades witch isnt a show its a game but you get my point these are very different characters despite technically being represtive of the same god.
This is so cool! It makes sense that the electronic music equals magic. The different ways he designed each of the gods with their own unique armor and glow color is incredible.
This is so cool to know! I have been listening and ranting about Epic for days! And ironically, I sent a message to my sister about Circe's design not much ago kkk I seriously loved the design's for Epic, It show's how epic this musical is (pun intended)
The other thing that makes me love Epic so much more it's cause I'm Brazilian, and singing songs from this musical while understanding them makes me realize that my English improved. Thank you so much Jay!
I feel like character design is something that needs to be focused on and sometimes gets ignored. I always like to start with physical characteristics with my own characters and then work on fleshing out stories and then tweaking things as things go.
I love how much thought is out behind every aspect of the musical...the association of instruments, colours and light with humanity and divinity is genius...I'm gonna go cry because of how awesome my brain feels watching all of it happen in front of my eyes...🥺💜😭✨
these videos are so interesting! i love hearing about all the thought thats put in behind the scenes. and i can sound smart telling my friends about it
Your design in Epic helped me alot with my own story that I am working on especially Athena's quick thought, I'm thinking about adding the quick thought and adding some more details
Genuinely if he made a podcast explaining every detail of this musical I would listen to it every second of every day
YES ON LOOP
YESSSSSSSS
God yes please jorge
GOD YES
Fr
Ohhhh, so that's why when calypso reveals she is a godess, she glows for a few seconds in the animatic, pretty cool!
her music also gets more electronic in that specific section too!!
Yoooo that’s so cool :0
And the music also get electronic and more modern. I love this details so much
GUYS JORGE IS EXPLAINING HIS CHARACTER!!!Yaaaaay😁
YEAH 🎉🎉🎉
YUHHH🎉🎉🎉🎉
🥳🥳🥳
i love the fact that mr jalapeño commissions from artists in the community, that honestly is so respectable
I wanna be one of them honestly-
@@nezis5149 i know right if he ever needs another voice im here just so ya know
The amount of time and energy Jorge puts into every aspect of Epic is commendable!
Its almost like... he has devine help. 😏
@@RayGainbowsohhh I love that dad joke 😭
The glowing part of their designs are so good, genuinely one of my favorite design aspects
I love listening to him talk, his voice is so nice and he’s so passionate about what he’s talking about ❤
His happiness is contagious
ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE GLOWING IS CALYPSOS HAIR!! I remember in Gigi animatics when she was saying who she was her hair started to glow purple!! Very awesome!
Jorge infodumping and yapping about his own musical always makes me laugh 😭♥️
Technology = Magic
Love how simple yet complex that sounds
Jorge is so passionate about the smallest details in EPIC, I really love seeing him talk about them.
Honestly i hope the animators for those commissions end up completing their animatics with those designs. Like id pay for fully cannon animatics with Jorge's seal of approval.
I love seeing everyone’s designs for these characters when making their fanarts and animatics!

Oh, so that’s why Scylla’s human part of her body is just glowing pure white
WOOO JAY TALKING ABOUT CHARACTERS!! I love all of his talks about the thought process behind all the songs 💯💯
"Technology = magic"
Is up there with "physics isnt a real thing"
as some of the best jorge out of context quotes
As someone who is also highly attuned to little details and loves making connections through them in my own work, I adore it when other people do the same! You are fantastic, Jorge! Know that we notice these subtleties and they make us ecstatic!
Speaking of designs, having the subtitles light up the specific words that are being said is incredibly helpful, and an absolute stroke of genius!!!
Dude, your work is truly GOD-LIKE, no pun intended. I really think EPIC is the coolest thing I've seen and heard all year. Your passion for your project is truly a joy to witness, keep on with your greatness, sir. You're no doubt a champion of The Muses. Cheers!
I love these videos because whenever I rewatch things, then I notice more and more details. This community is so amazing, thank you Jorge for this musical.
HI MR JALAPEÑO!
Epic is amazing and I’m so glad to have been able to see it as it comes out
I love hearing more information about EPIC! When Jorge mentioned the glowing, I immediately remembered that Calypso's hair glows purple
I love the character designs are so good! It makes it so that when im listening to the gods music im just loving it!
I'm trying to turn EPIC into an actual play for my college event
A play only a hundred people will ever see
dude can you please have someone record it, i wanna watch
Pls record that would be so cool!
I still can’t believe I’m here right now, WHILE this legend ist being created. In ten years I’m gonna tell the theater kids how I saw EPIC at its very beginnings
I really love your art, please never stop being so recklessly awesome.❤
Oh most definitely telling my future nieces and nephews/my siblings who’d be 10-16 in 10 years about this musical and my obsession over its origin 😂
YESS!!! Character design is one my favourite aspects of creative projects like these.
Something I think is neat (and probably intentional) is that Odysseus's Guitar becomes more electric rather than acoustic when he is less "man" and more "monster/captain". It echoes his "I am neither man nor mythical" line really well and the juxtaposition of his guitar's many "sounds" lend well to this mantra, that he sort of sits between the magical and the practical worlds.

I agree with every choice, but the horse motif from the Ruthlessness animatic where it's galloping around and looks dark and mystical is still amazing to me.
Babes, wake up! Jorge is rambling about his musical again!!
I love listening to epic on shuffled :') Ody goes on the most random adventures. One moment Hermes is psyching him up to battle Circe, the next he's throwing a child off a balcony.
I'm calling it now: we're seeing the beginnings of one of the best musicals ever, in both the music and visual arenas. What a time to be alive!
His enthusiasm is soooo cute! I'm so grateful he's shared his passion and talent with us!! 🥰
imagine this being an actual performed musical
Honestly love all the details put into EPIC all the ppl who keep finding random easter eggs in random games and shows must love EPIC😅
The designs are probably the best part of anything, and definitely one of the best in EPIC
The artists are just so good at capturing the character traits
You really thought of the character design really well! Not to mention how they stick out from most yet fit by description
HE MENTIONED TRON OMG. JORGE YOU’RE LITERALLY MY FAVORITE. TRON legacy is so underrated i feel. I love how tech = magic. Brilliant
I was at the Renaissance fair today and one of the vendors was playing "different beast" in their shop and We sat and geeked out about you and the musical for I little while. That interaction made my day!
Best musical out there
LITERALLY
I love hot Jorge breaks everything down, his enthusiasm and excitement is so infectious and it just makes me wanna create❤❤❤❤ keep creating Jay, you’re amazing
I like how the canon character designs all resemble the actor who plays them to some degree.
The more you explain about your music and characters development, the more inspired I get to design costumes for if the musical ever gets to be on a stage! I have a few drawn already but I'd love to do more, and I hope I can someday make them a reality- whether they're concepts of my own or yours ❤
No way hes a fan of Tron Legacy. I love that movie too
woah i never knew that these designs were that heavily based off the music lmao
If we ever get a stage production, THESE OUTFITS WILL GO HARD
It’s fun seeing how all the artists draw the gods. One interpretation of Poseidon I saw really delved in how he was a god of horses as well
I've never been the biggest fan of the canon zeus design, but that is really cool
Ive never felt so old in my life... "one of my favorite movies growing up was Tron... Legacy"
I love the winion designs smmmm😭
I love Aphrodite's introduction music in God Games, when Zeus announces their names. That underlay of electric guitar...ooft.❤❤❤
I did not expect to see Tron: Legacy as part of the visual inspiration for some of the character designs, but now that it is pointed out I can very clearly see it's influence. 100% underrated film, that one... great source of inspo. indeed!
I love this so much! Have you ever thought of making an animated series of epic? Each song is an episode and each saga is a season. The character designs are amazing and epic is a masterpiece.
As an artist I really love and respect the detail Jay and others have put into the character designs of this musical!!!! :)
It would so sick if you got to do a cross-over with Smite in the future. I'd love to see the gods sing or speak snippets of their songs when they cast their ultimates.
That's it, that's my new goal in life. I am actively aiming to become Epic's official character designer (I would say costume but me and sewing don't exactly go together)
I also live how Calypso's hair glowed when she said "bow down now to the immortal Calypso"
They really look amazing! The animators are so talented ❤❤❤
BUT LIKE I LOVE ALL THE FITS
I loved that he talked about the character designs. One of my favorite parts of all of EPIC. I have to say, Tron is a really good movie and the shiny details on the costumes are really GOOD✨ The level of detail and planning in this is so great and incredible!
The first time I saw Zeus I said “Oh, he looks like he’s straight out of Mortal Kombat. And I dig it”
I need epic to be an animated musical SO bad, stage would be great too but seeing that epic has so many magical elements, it would be really hard to capture the beauty of this musical on stage. Animated would be perfect
love to see some love for TRON: Legacy!! I always thought the visual design of that movie was peak. Combo-ing electronic music and glow lined costumes is a perfect choice
The amount of detail in epic is just fascinating
The animatics this saga were seriously amazing 🤯🥳
Okay this is obviously unintentional but does anyone else think of the Zeus in Fortnite when they look at the clothes Epic Zeus wears? Especially the white variants they’re practically the same minus the boots and arm braces
i love Mr jalapeno talks!!! it's so fun to hear you talk about the characters and the story, and you're so passionate and excited about what you're doing. please keep doing more!
Tron: Legacy being mentioned makes me sooo happy!! Keep up the awesome work on this awesome project!!
Love that Hephaestus has working gloves made of GLOWING BRONZE, That's actually so cool
Tron legacy was one of my favourite shows, too!! Also, my friend and I LIVE for and LOVE the music you make, so keep it up!! Half the music in my liked songs on Spotify is from epic, and you were COOKING with the wisdom saga!!
I realized something with this, odysseus is expressed by an electric guitar, which is a non-electric instrument being brought through an electrical unit (not sure the definition.). Which overtime is lessened to a regular guitar if I remember properly, which could be a reference to divine influence and Athena's training. GOD. THIS MUSICAL IS SO GENIUS.
“Every god has a glow” His text lines were glowing… JORGE UR A GOD
1:45 WHAT AEOLUS IS A GIRL AND NOT A TWINK FEMBOY??
this is such a funny comment you know what aeolus can be a twink just for you
Lol
I have been so confused with Aeolus gender cause in the myths it’s a grumpy old dude but in Epic I thought they were a girl. Now I’m even more confused
@@IgnisInvicta I just always envisioned Aeolus as a playful twink femboy lol
I love the design for Ares! All the different Animatics that I've seen really capture what I pictured God to look like. And what I've heard for entrance in God Games you really captured how many of the Romans who worshiped Ares in their own way valued his War Values. And I just gave to give Chef Kiss to that!
And I also love Aphrodite! Always withe delicate flowers and flowing pinks and yellows really gives off what I thought the Goddess of Love and Beauty would be for her aesthetic!
That’s such a cool concept!! Always impressed!
He’s so dedicated to epic it’s amazing 😭😭
Please keep rambling to us about the cool things you’ve made it’s so cool
Jorge infodumping about his musical is always a great time
Now I imagined the eye of Polyphemus as a giant kind of prosthetic or mechanical eye that glows with the gears inside
As someone who was already drawing designs for Epic characters of how i saw them in my head i love this so much its great writing all of this down. I nerd out so much about this just today I was talking about the different versions of Hermes in various shows musically and Design wise Hadestown, Epic, Stray gods even hades witch isnt a show its a game but you get my point these are very different characters despite technically being represtive of the same god.

You have a very detailed and subtle writing style, I appreciate that. God bless.
I feel like character design is something that needs to be focused on and sometimes gets ignored. I always like to start with physical characteristics with my own characters and then work on fleshing out stories and then tweaking things as things go.
We need an EPIC podcast with everyone involved talking about EPIC and every little detail about it
THIS IS LITERALLY SO COOL OMG WHAT- 😮 JORGE UR LITERALLY SO TALENTED AND U DESERVE SO MUCH ❤❤
Jorge needs to make his own podcast on “epic the musical character and music designs”
I love the concept of each god having a different glow colorrrrr.
It's so cool
I love how much thought is out behind every aspect of the musical...the association of instruments, colours and light with humanity and divinity is genius...I'm gonna go cry because of how awesome my brain feels watching all of it happen in front of my eyes...🥺💜😭✨
these videos are so interesting! i love hearing about all the thought thats put in behind the scenes. and i can sound smart telling my friends about it
Love all these design details! 😆
Love the Tron look, it’s SO COOL! 😁
i really love getting to hear about your process ❤the technology = magic thing is brilliant. also love the glow colors!!
This is very cool. Epic has inspired me to try to write an Ancient Greek novel.
I need a podcast explaining even the smallest details in epic!!
Cindy corre Jorge está hablando de Epic otra vez ❤️
I absolutely love the concept for the designs that are in Epic!
The funniest thing is that Hephaestus' design reminds me of my iron ahahaha
TRON: LEGACY IS LITERALLY MY FAVORITE MOVIE THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY YOU HAVE NO IDEA😱🤩🥳
Your design in Epic helped me alot with my own story that I am working on especially Athena's quick thought, I'm thinking about adding the quick thought and adding some more details
Whenever I see a winion, it just reminds me of how much I need a winion plushie!! I love them soooo much ❤❤
