he spent 20 years trying to go back to her, finally succeeding, finally, his wife, his love, his Penelope... and suddenly, he's afraid to touch her. will she accept him after all this time? after everything he did in troy? even when she does, he seems to not believe her, thinking he's not worthy of such pure, unconditional, undying love it makes my heart strings pull and snap
@@MaggieJaneSimpson YAY it really shows ! Sidenote - my bad i thought of the muse of EPIC poetry 👏🏻 😂 it’s actually the greek muse of love poetry- Erato , her sister/ the also of nine muses
Not sure if it was intentional, but I noticed that Penelope kind of looks like your Athena design, which is such a neat detail knowing how Penelope in the Odyssey was cunning and decisive in finding her husband with the trial she put the suitors through. ANOTHER BANGER AND A HALF, WOLFY!!! 💙💙 (Just realized I said Artemis instead of Athena I'm banging my head into a wall right now revoke my Hellenistic Hyperfixation card)
Fully convinced wolfy will end up animating the entire musical at one point, even if it takes years, even if all of its seperate. The power of pure neurodivergence.
This fits so well, and with so little expression, Penelope's face goes through so many emotions: Shock, Overwhelmed, Upset, Hopeful, Concerned, Suspisus, Tired, Anger, betrayed, then finally Sad. For a song about Regrets, I don't read regret at all on Penelope's face, which makes complete sense to the story and you managed to completely change the meaning of the song. WOLFY YOU ARE TOO GOOD AT THIS!
AAAAA a Penelope animation!!!!! I rushed here as fast as I could when I got the notification - the flashback of younger odysseus absolutely breaks my heart… all the things he’s been through to get back to his wife, but at what cost?
I have IMAGINED this song to them! It fits so well! Especially afrer reading "Circe" by Madeline Miller and knowing how Odysseus' story truely ends... it fits so perfectly. And you did such a great job here! We all enjoy your content! Thanks for sharing your work with us :)
Completely amazing!!!! Penelope's animation ❤ The way he looks at her and she is in his eyes!! And young Odysseus flash, wonderful! Of course she would notice him even after all those years!
These emotions and eyes...So many years, first the war, then the inability to get home, and for her - to accept and feed rude "grooms" and tolerate their words and antics. 0:40 - 0:43 - it really touched my heart.
Wow, just wow. Doesn’t matter if you make one a few seconds or a few minutes long I’m still moved by your work. 🥰 I can not get over your older Odysseus. ❤❤
Count of Monte Cristo is one of my favorite musicals, wish more people would listen to it because a lot of it is underated. Love this crossover and glad you made it!
Wolfy, you have completely shattered my heart and fed it to the cyclopes. This is absolutely beautiful. It really highlights that Penelope's hope of Odysseus being alive for the years of his absence has narrowed down to this exact moment, and she can hardly believe it herself. They are so utterly devoted to each other, and this proves it. Amazing, amazing job. You are so talented. 🤗✨❤
Your brain is so fucking huge Wolfy, I never would’ve listened to this song and thought of these two. I love the way she tilts his head up to face her and looks away and younger version flashes across what I assume is Penelope’s vision and I WANNA CRY WOLFY, IT’S TO EARLY TO BE CRYING LIKE THIS!
ASUDKASDH im so glad im not the only one who thought penelope was sus of the "beggar" even in the epic she's portrayed as rather intelligent , makes sense as well that one of if not the smartest hero in greek myth would fall for a woman of her intellect
Excuse me? Epic AND the highly underrated COMC musical in ONE animatic??? AND it's with my favorite song on the album???? Be still, my heart. What a big-brained combo, I love it. The expressions and posing are on-point, as always, and that brief flash of young Odysseus as he looks away is 👌👌👌 I also really love the little movements; the way his hand shakes and then clenches. Such beautiful, subtle details that give so much information about the characters and what they're thinking/ feeling.
OMG I /SCREAMED/ when I saw this! The Count of Monte Cristo music+ The Odyssey + your work just HAD to be amazing! And I was right! I literally teared up watching it
This is so incredibly good, in all your animatics you portray emotion so well. Im so unsettled by Odysseus arm shaking, the sheer trauma of his journey And so many other things I can gush about, so brilliant i keep binging your videos ❤️
My heart is wrenched but also i cant help but imagine so many artists probably gonna be adapting epic the musical animatic art styles like many young artists did 6 years ago with hamilton
༼ ༎ຶ ﹏ ༎ຶ༽ Why, why must you torture me so? Twist this knife of agony and rend my heart in twain?! I am dolorous for their near reunion, I weep for their weary souls! How long must they be in pain?! How long must they maintain this charade?! Twas masterfully crafted, wondrously wrought with love and skill. I eagerly await the day these two find complete and total peace, after their many trials apart. Beautifully done, Wolfy! 💙
Stars above!! My favorite musical combined with my latest hyperfixation? With Wolfy, more likely than you’d think! Oh my goodness, as always, your artwork is phenomenal and your expressions are unparalleled! Incredible job!!
I’m really happy you make animatics for Greek mythology and epics. It’s really nice to see them be visualized like this, especially in your wonderful style!
I'M SOBBING. I'VE BEEN HAVING THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS SONG TO THIS PARTICULAR (SEMI)-REUNION SCENE. AND YOU'VE DONE IT. I'M WEAK. I'M WANTING. I'M IN SHAMBLES. I CANNOT ARTICULATE THE EMOTIONS I AM CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH, BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YES THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT THEIR BRIEF REUNION WOULD BE BEFORE HE DEALT WITH THE SUITORS!! I love this so much love to see your updates Wolfy!
i am OBSESSED with this, its everything i never knew i needed. i know those eyes/this man is dead is now going to my odypen playlist right up there with for the dancing and the dreaming from httyd2 bc DAMN
I've only found your channel not even a week ago but I've binged all of your videos (and watched some on repeat the last few days) and god, the way you draw expressions, body language and movement is SO incredibly good I'm in love with the way you draw and animate
finding this video was so weird- i felt the urge to look at older animatics with the "i know those eyes" song and i got recommended this immediately lol. love that people are doing more animatics using this song!!
Clicked the second I saw the title - I *love* the Count of Monte Cristo. Spent months dancing with my ex to this song for our dance class expo. Every time I hear it, I can't help but mime the steps even all these years later! Delighted to hear this song paired with your lovely art. :)
I’m going insane I just got back into obsessing over the count of monte christo soundtrack 2 days ago while also obsessing over epic and you made THIS DID YOU READ MY BRAIN
ive gone down a rabbit hole of epic since spotify showed the horse and the infant to me in discover and i've been watching your animatics and omG they're so good. Ironically I also have this song from a spotify discover like...a year ago, so to see the two in one crossover felt like fate ahAHA i love how you capture emotions this is so good aaaa
Wolfy you are the master of animatics i just love see someone combine so gracefuly the music with art also my favourite musicals i just cant i love ur work so much
Wolfy, you always amaze me! Every single time I see a notification pop up on my screen I get so exited! And this truly was another work of art! I simply love how you manage to effortlessly merge the song and your animatic together! It seems as though every song you choose is just made for you! Amazing as always!
Wolfy I found out about you like six days ago and my oh my, you're amazing at what you do. Just A Man and I'm Finally Home remain my favorite animatics of yours. Also getting a shoutout from the singer himself was awesome to see. Keep up the God's work.
Fun little idea! Maybe have Antinous or one of the other suitors chime in with the “this man is dead” line. This animation was awesome and I always look forward to your next videos!
I saw this on twitter I had to come like it here! Such a good animatic! They have such Mercedes and Edmond vibes holy cow! The song/musical and your art are so pretty together!!
Sobbing. Weeping. Screaming. I am wired. The emotion. The thrill. The yearning but unable to reach. The forced turning away though they are so close but Not Yet. You're making me feral.

SAME

Never in my life would I have thought there'd be a Count of Monte Cristo/Epic crossover. This is great

ooo it was not but thats a cool detail :0
They’re sisters
Edit: did you edit “Helen” to “Athena”??
OH THIS GOT EDITED TO ATHENA. Yes! She's similar to her in face shape :D
@@WolfyTheWitch my autism card has been revoked

1:00 wait there is, I think, a scar on the flank of his leg, just like in the myth, nice detail if that's the case
How did he get the scar? Its been a while since I read the myth

thank you for sparing me the pain of This Man Is Dead amen
it doesnt fit, otherwise i would have HAHA
@@WolfyTheWitch I wouldn't put it past you lol!
Dearest, you have just summoned a whole fandom from the dead, thank you for that! As a theater kid, this was my top hit back in the year 2016-17!

Oh the suitors are so fucked when Penelope tells Ody what they tried in the years that he was gone.
AAAAA a Penelope animation!!!!! I rushed here as fast as I could when I got the notification - the flashback of younger odysseus absolutely breaks my heart… all the things he’s been through to get back to his wife, but at what cost?
bro s changed since troy
bros changed since he lost his crew , learnt many moral lessons
i think PTSD after war/ vets feel just like odyseuss , but ody had it for 12 years....
The way my breath hitches when i saw the flash of his younger design was enough to give me an asthma attack...ITS SOO GOOD KEEP IT UP OMG
Oh god, seeing him tearing up looking at her and then turning away to avoid blowing his cover!
I have IMAGINED this song to them! It fits so well! Especially afrer reading "Circe" by Madeline Miller and knowing how Odysseus' story truely ends... it fits so perfectly. And you did such a great job here! We all enjoy your content! Thanks for sharing your work with us :)
Circe was a masterpiece and so is this animatic
I think I have that book. Is it good? I haven’t read it yet.
I CANNOT ;; He still even sits the same ;; Penelope just saw right through him
Completely amazing!!!! Penelope's animation ❤
The way he looks at her and she is in his eyes!! And young Odysseus flash, wonderful! Of course she would notice him even after all those years!
These emotions and eyes...So many years, first the war, then the inability to get home, and for her - to accept and feed rude "grooms" and tolerate their words and antics.
0:40 - 0:43 - it really touched my heart.
oh, this is beautiful!! stunning imagery, and the flicker back to a young Odysseus??? mwah
*steals kiss*
Omg this part of the song fits them perfectly! Amazing as always Wolfy ❤❤
Wow, just wow. Doesn’t matter if you make one a few seconds or a few minutes long I’m still moved by your work. 🥰 I can not get over your older Odysseus. ❤❤
that feeling when you're hyperfixating on a song and your favorite artist randomly decides to drop an animatic of it.
lol
Count of Monte Cristo is one of my favorite musicals, wish more people would listen to it because a lot of it is underated. Love this crossover and glad you made it!
Wolfy, you have completely shattered my heart and fed it to the cyclopes. This is absolutely beautiful. It really highlights that Penelope's hope of Odysseus being alive for the years of his absence has narrowed down to this exact moment, and she can hardly believe it herself. They are so utterly devoted to each other, and this proves it. Amazing, amazing job. You are so talented. 🤗✨❤

Excuse me? Epic AND the highly underrated COMC musical in ONE animatic???
AND it's with my favorite song on the album????
Be still, my heart.
What a big-brained combo, I love it. The expressions and posing are on-point, as always, and that brief flash of young Odysseus as he looks away is 👌👌👌
I also really love the little movements; the way his hand shakes and then clenches. Such beautiful, subtle details that give so much information about the characters and what they're thinking/ feeling.
A Count of Monte Cristo & Epic crossover! YES!
The tears in Odysseus’ eyes as he looks at Penelope. So good! So moving! 😢
This animatic is amazing and I immediately knew the song somehow even though the title isn’t in this. Magical theater kid powers ig
Anyone else following Epic the musical very closely?
The animation is on point, so good
OMG
I /SCREAMED/ when I saw this! The Count of Monte Cristo music+ The Odyssey + your work just HAD to be amazing!

"But it's no longer you..."
Okay I'm already a massive fan of the count of monte cristo musical and now a new fan of Epic so this has just dazzled me!
My heart is wrenched but also i cant help but imagine so many artists probably gonna be adapting epic the musical animatic art styles like many young artists did 6 years ago with hamilton
I am one of the artists who wants to adopt your artstyle Wolfy, it is so crunchy and yummy
Wow this is literally so perfect. The double meanings and the way you drew out the interaction..... Breathless! It's possibly breathtaking.

I FREAKING LOVE THE ODYSSEY AND THIS SONG OH MY GODSH YOUR ART IS AMAZING I WANNA CRY
There are so many similarities ebtween these musicals. I immediatley clocked it.
I’m really happy you make animatics for Greek mythology and epics. It’s really nice to see them be visualized like this, especially in your wonderful style!
Man, count of monte cristo? This man really reached into the *DEPTHS* of the musical fandom to bring us this one, I'm here for it though!
Oh wow! I’m already crying… I can’t wait for the next Epic chapter!
Ι absolutely adore the song and you paired it so well with Penelope and Odysseus!
His trembling hand... THE DETAILS
This is on the same level as Prince of Egypt.
The Count of Monte Cristo AND Epic?!? *chefs kiss
I love that musical! you have no idea how obsessed I've been with all things Count of Monte Cristo related
