KING (EPIC: The Musical) - Animatic

Oh, this is absolutely stunning. The reveal that Odysseus was in the crowd knocked me OUT

ODYSSEUS BEING IN THE CROWD!?!? YES- ITS SUCH A COOL REFERENCE TO WHAT HAPPENS JUST BEFORE THIS WHOLE HUNT AS WELL, WHERE HE’S DISGUISED BY ATHENA AS SOME RANDOM OLD MAN SO HE CAN BLEND IN TO THE CROWD OF SUITORS AND STRKE FROM WITHIN THE PACK- AHSHFJFJJFJ- YES, JUST YES-

"You don't think I know my own place I built it" It gave me literal chills♥

"Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves"

Suitors: “We know this halls”
Odysseus: “I BUILT THIS HALLS”

Odysseus: _I have survived war, monsters, natural disasters, royally pissed off gods, and I've witnessed the death of every member of my crew. Do you honestly think a gaggle of entitled fuckers is gonna mean shit to me?_

this has GOT to be one of the best "you don't think i know my own palace? i built it" moments i've ever seen in an animatic!!! i realised that it was odysseus in the crowd just a few seconds before the reveal and it KNOCKED ME TF OUT

Ah yes, father son bonding slaughter

The King is back, and he isn't happy about some weakling cowards in his home

It's interesting, how Odysseus sounds nothing like himself as he was at the beginning of the story, but the young man in this song actually sounds like Odysseus before. Almost like it's saying that, Odysseus is now the final boss.

Interesting detail, in “Survive” the chorus is chanting “POLYPHEMUS” as if it’s a boss battle against an unimaginable foe. But in this song, after Odysseus stabs the suitor, the chorus begins chanting “ODYSSEUS”. In a way, he really has become the monster.

I know literally everyone is complementing the Odysseus blending in with the suitors reveal, but it's so good and so in character for him because he's the smart/devious one.
(Also the expression work is 10/10)

I spotted "a dude in the middle" who looked strange, right before the reveal and I almost lost my mind when I realized it was Odysseus. This was awesome! -edit I just realized I noticed him because he is center in the shot which (in my opinion) is absolutely prefect for the surprise reveal

The sinister laugh I let out when I saw Odysseus was right there hiding among there was so satisfactory, I loved it! And the way they arrow appeared to kill that guy at the beginning was so well done, amazing animatic!

I can't believe this took a whole day for me to see! I love the expressions for everyone so much, and the way you implemented Odysseus at the end was spot on too!

Ooo I absolutely LOVE how Odyssey was simply blending in with the group and then BOOM DISGUISE OFF. I love this so much, great work!!!❤❤❤

The "you dont think I know my own palace? I built it" line OHHHH Favorite line

I cannot WAIT for the full version of this song

Ohhh. Him rising up from among them with a bloody sword!
Glad you went with a sword, because I was thinking that at that close proximity, a sword is going to be more proficient for dispatching them.

Great animatic for a great song! I love your choice to reveal that Odysseus was among them with that stinger at the end :D

this is amazing!!!! this is how i picture this number on stage or in a film 🫶🫶

Brooooo I thought Odysseus was a suitor and then he revealed himself! Ahh oh my gosh that was such a nice detail. I like your style very much, it's very simply, clean, and very expressionist. Good job!

This is amazing!! You definitely need more subscribers!!

I'm not sure if it's the wall design but at the start there is a human figure which just happens to be where the arrow is shot from and that's such good detail

HOLY??? BRO THAT WAS SO (Pun may or may not be intended) EPIC

This deserves more views! Your artstyle is amazing

rararararar everything about this is just- **chefs kiss**
your artstyle is also very pleasing to the eyes :3

And finally he learns it. Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves.

So so so stunning- I LOVEEE HOW U HAD HIM IN THE CROWD BRO-

I love how you show that even both the people who are trying to be reassuring “we have the advantage” “the odds can be tilted” are sweating, showing they don’t even believe they’ll make it 😂

I heard that In Ancient Greece bows were used for hunting so it was seen as disrespectful to kill a man with one as if calling them an animal. Odysseus kills the suitors with a bow he left at home when he went to war.

I love how odyssesus name is chanted which has previously only ever been used for monsters or gods. It shows hes gone from a man to a MONSTER (or a god i suppose but monster makes more sense to me). Also the 'where is he' is from man of the house which is a cool detail- potentially saying that not only is he THE man of the house but hes also the monster of the house.

Odysseus coming out like that is amazing oml

AHHHHHHHH THE REFERENCE TO ODYSSEUS IN DISGUISE!!!

Beautiful work as always!

i built it is an insane bar.

DUDE UR ARTSTYLE IS SO PRETTY OMG💕💕💕

How is this so perfect yet so underrated?!

Absolutely brilliant! Keep up the great work.

Ody sneaking in the crowd is amazing movement

OMG this is amazing!! ❤

OOOHOOHOHOHOH IS THIS AN UNDERRATED ARTIST I SMELL

Nice detail that right before he shoots you can see Odysseus silouetted in the battlements.
