Holy shit, that Neo design as a broken man full of hatred and his look of satisfaction with blood on his face after killing Hector siblings is terrifying amazingly done.
@@Acez19 Neoptolemus, Neo in short was Achilles son, who brutally killed Hector siblings in front of their children's. If you want more info you can check Wikipedia.
@@pipdoodles Btw. I love your attention to detail, that you portrayed 6 bodies (and half) as Neo in story killed "at least six warriors on the battlefield".
Oh thank you!! I wanted to try to make them all different bc they're all protagonists of their own stories^ And although I'm not entirely happy with everyone's designs I'm glad the uniqueness comes through!! :))
@@kenzgitz9884 Achilles likely looked a bit more feminine and he also probably wouldn’t have any battle wounds or scars like his son does because of his impeccable skin (granted you Canon the myth of him getting dipped in the river styx). But I think the creator did a good job making a more human looking and rough version of Achilles that then translates well as it being his son!
@miru2741 Yeah that makes sense because he was disguised as a woman on Skyros. The story where Thetis dipped him in the river Styx was written after the Iliad but I do think he'd have less battle scars anyway simply because he moves so quickly
@@kenzgitz9884 Exactly (I was also referencing Skyros) and you are right about the Styx myth - I think I also mentioned it might not be Canon but I might have forgotten. Either way it’s a really cool design!
Its so heartbreaking that even knowing the child will grow up to hate him he goes through so many compromises just so he wouldn't have to kill the baby. Knowing that he'll go through with it anyway while constantly apologizing to the infant is just so sad
bit late, but the funny (or sad, really) thing about "I'm Just A Man" is that not once does Odysseus apologize for his actions. in fact, at no point does he apologize, not once, in the entire musical. he fights with his own morals throughout both "The Horse and the Infant" and "I'm Just A Man", but not once does he apologize to the baby. he makes excuses, which are understandable, of course, and begs for forgiveness, but that's not the same as apologizing.
I really appreciate you having Ajax look disappointed of him staying behind rather than just having him be a joke character as well as Neo and Nestor performing their assigned duties
zeus' eyebrows are such a good detail!!!! also i love neoptolemus in this: he has clearly inherited his father's Rage and on top of everything hes also like, 15 (arguably a terrible age to be, lol) i love his unhinged little evil shonen protagonist moment!! slay the sons of priam baby!
Love how you portrayed Neoptolemus. He’s often shown as being apart from the other heros besides his obvious youth. He’s pretty much the only hero in the war who signed up willingly for this, knowing the true nature and extent of the war. His father did join willingly to win glory in the war but was ground down by the brutal nature of the war and the death of Patroclus. Neoptolemus was pretty much the only one in the Greek army to know what the deal was and still rock up for the sack. Odysseus essentially breaks as a person in order to kill Astynax while Neoptolemus is here for the war crimes, in fact that’s the reason why he showed up. It’s the final form of trauma that the war brought about, a young man who was raised and forged to be a monster for the purpose of war and vengeance. This is what Astyanax would have become and why Odysseus cast him of the walls, when a man becomes a monster.
No, Odysseus cast him off the walls because he was a coward, unwilling to face the consequences of his actions. If he'd believed that Astynax wouldn't have brought vengeance to him, personally, he'd have let it slide.
Let's also not forget what he did to Hector's wife. She was kidnapped by the winning party and then was sold off to Achilles' son, who forced her to bear his children. Only after the man died was she able to find peace. And before anyone asks why she didn't commit suicide, according to ancient Greek customs, to kill oneself is to be an act against the gods themselves. It would be seen as a sin and she would end up in Tartarus. Poor girl went through hell. 😔 I pray she was given passage to Elysium so she could be with her husband in the afterlife.
"little Ajax will stay back" when he was only a little younger (or physically smaller, depending on translation) than Ajax Telamon and that was the only reason he was called that xD then immediately turns to a literal teenager and goes "and you go and kill all the princes ok?" Odysseus my man, what? (Also this has to be the only time Agamemnon actually led a charge, too, considering Achilles' gripe with him about securing himself and letting his men fight while Achilles was always vanguard of the Myrmidons). Man i haven't read the Illyad/Aeneid in a good while but this is bringing back all the memories! I also can't believe this is your first animatic??? It's one of the best I've ever watched! Not just of Epic, of anything! ETA: i love all the designs as someone else pointed out, but my favorite has to be Neo. He's gorgeous, like his father, "golden haired, fair faced Achilles", but full of all that hatred and bloodthirst and vicious satisfaction, a reflection of Achilles in battle ("fleet-footed Achilles, slayer of Trojans") but half-insane with grief. I'd love to see your rendition of Achilles learning of Patroclus's death because it'd be a mirror of this, of that beauty distorted by rage and loss, and aaaah. Just excellent
I always interpreted Odysseus saying 'Little Ajax will stay back' not because he's too small to fight but because the man was a powder keg of audacious decisions and Odysseus, a meticulous planner, didn't trust him at the front.
@@saltytyranitar6981that's a good interpretation and probably the most logical tbh but I've become so used to this fandom acting like he's the iPad kid of the Achaeans (Gigi drew him as a literal little kid with a too-big helmet for example) that at this point I always have a knee-jerk reaction to the line lmao
@@saltytyranitar6981 my interpretation was in case Trojans pull something unexpected they need reinforcements, that’s why Treucer shooting off everyone coming towards horse, because Ajax the Lesser would lead backup. You know, it’s better not put all your eggs in one basket
I do wonder how Penelope would have reacted if she knew what her beloved husband did to the infant son of Hektor? Something tells me she wouldn't be too pleased.
@@historian909 That is a fair point, but can you really look at your partner the same way if you knew they did something like? That would be a very difficult pill to swallow, especially for Penelope who is a mother.
@@allisondempsey982considering in this version he literally tried to bargain with the gods not to do it(i could raise him as my own etc) i'm pretty sure Penelope would realize how much the act F'd him up. Especially considering the last time he saw telemachus he was just as "old" and vulnerable. Honestly Penelope and Odysseus are one of the best greek couples. Even though he did sleep w circe and calypso (which was just the hero getting a w in most stories) he really didnt want to. Only greek hero to constantly talk about his wife and kid. Penelope didnt believe he had died even though the trojan war had been over for 10 years. Her cunning with the cloth she was sewing or their bed just shows a clever family staying together and trusting eachother(telemachus had no memory of his father but he KNEW he was alive,coming and could beat up all his moms suitors). Sure the gods still interfere at EVERY corner since it directly follows the iliad but i always loved that story because of their bond. A man doing whatever it takes just to get back to his family. A family that sticks together no matter what. I WAS very young though when i got introduced to mythology and DO NOT have the best family background, so i MAY be projecting a bit
I absolutely love the raw emotions you can see in his face as he realized the exact position he's in. left to wonder if he could ever do it, and it takes its toll.
AHHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCHHH OFC I WILL CONTINUE!!! I can't believe how sweet everyone is being TvT ♡ Also thank you!! I thought Neo was too interesting to not include at least some extra references to his story!! I think so many artists have beautiful characterizations of the characters, I figured I'd join in!! :D ♡
Oh my goodness this is SUCH high praise, thank you so much!!! One of my favorite movies!! ♡♡♡ Penelope's design was absolutely inspired by Moses' mother, I always found her features so beautiful and unique :)) ♡
This is really well done, my god! I especially liked the design of the grown up Astyanax, I've seen some other depictions turn him to a monstrously large brawler character, i like that here he looks like a more normal soldier
This is my new favorite animatic for The Horse and the Infant. You did such a great job showcasing the story and each character’s part in the battle. It was beautiful. Jorge Rivera-Herrans should really see this.
MAN, i love all these character designs. it sounds weird but i love penelope's nose?? and neo looks so young and his bloodlust is so chilling. and zeus and his eagle with the thunderbolt eyebrows??? and baby astyanax looks so cute????? also i love how odysseus looks into his reflection in his blade and how zeus shows him the prophecy. immaculate, impeccable, thank you for your beautiful art
This is amazing. Just by the few frames you drew of neo I could alredy tell so much about him. He was sitting alone aside while the others are planning only turning his head when the people he is there getting revenge on are mentioned. That already tells us that he is there to kill them, nothing more nothing less.
Duuuude im OBSESSED WITH THIS like your character designs are amazing, like Neo looks so tortured and broken but terrifying at the same time, Penelope is BEAUTIFUL, and Astyanax is so sweet and innocent looking, and all the little artistic choices you make like Odysseus looking at his reflection in the sword, the way visions in Zeus's palm, like the whole thing is just so well done and I really love it!!!
What's most sad about the the murder of Hector's son, is that it only prolonged the fall of Greece, for the gods spirited away another Prince of Troy who's successors would be the Roman Empire that would conquer Greece, avenging the destruction of Troy with the conquest of Greece.
HOLYYYY CRAP. This is amazing!!! I gotta say, this is my new favorite "the horse and the infant" animatic. And I've seen probably over 40. You did such an incredible job!! akjsdgfkjaskjdf i can't even begin to articulate my thoughts, you went above and beyond and it makes me so happy lol
THIS LOOKS SO GOOD! I LOVE NEO'S DESIGN! AND WHEN ZEUS WAS SAYING "this is the none other..." I LOVE HOW YOU DID IT THAT HE IS SHOWING IT TO ODYSSEUS You're so talented!!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you!! There is still a lot I'm not entirely happy with, but I'd say I'm overall very proud of myself!! I really appreciate all the positive feedback ahhh :,)) ♡
I love your Penelope design - it's a very simple one (if all the hair and folds in her clothes can be called _simple), but she has the sort of understated beauty and warmth to her expression - and the looks that Odysseus gives her in turn - that makes you understand that this is a woman that Odysseus will spend the next ten years of his life fighting to get back home to.
This is genuinely one of the only two animatics I continuously come back to at least a few times a week. Neo's design, so fueled with rage and grief over his father's death, Odysseus breaking down after learning that he has to kill Astynax, Zeus as a whole, every soldier getting a unique design... and on top of all of that, ✨️Penelope✨️ Absolutely marvelous, I hope you continue to create such beautiful animatics!!
My lord this is amazing! I don't even know where to start with it all! The expressions, the designs for all the named characters are all so cool! The distinct look of anger and hate on Neo's face was so perfect and the addition of color there really emphasized it! I love the look of Zeus and the way his communication is Odysseus is shown, the imagery there amazing! You did such an amazing job on this, especially considering its your first animatic!
Holy hell this looks sick! I absolutely love Zeus' design, both baby Telemachus and baby Astyanax are absolutely adorable, and the expressions are on point. I also love Zeus' lighting bolt eyebrows.
Say less. I am working on something inspired by the Odyssey where he choses to spare the child, resulting in them growing up and hunting him down. The next go around he raises the child to be his own after he gets a vision of the avenger standing over his body
Okay, Okay, Okay, you're killing me here.. THIS IS AMAZING. Like, we all are incredibly impressed. The character designs, every frame effort, it must have been extremely hard to do. Whatever you do, keep continuing! You are amazing, THIS is AMAZING, words cannot describe how great it is. ALSO THE WAY U DID THE CHARACTERS ALL WITH LIKE- DIFFERENT LOOKS LIKE JEEEEEEEEESUS its crazy!!!! 😭😱😻😻😻
wow, this is gorgeous! I'm so admirative at how you draw muscles especially, this so well done. And the little smoke animation for the people in Zeus's hand is just amazing and smooth! beautiful! also love the detail of thunder eyebrow for zeus, and the eagle has them too, super cool!
This is one of the best I've seen so far!!!! Neo's design, little Ajax being sad, Penelope's design, Zeus showing him the future in his palm, the baby design, the inside of the horse...everything was perfect
no way you just made me emotionally attached to characters that have 2 seconds of fame in the musical through your art style and this animatic. you’re AMAZING 🤩
This is such a detailed and amazing animation! I know it's been a year of this but I hope you kept drawing because is truly so so so good! I loved the take of Odysseus being struck by Zeus lightning!
@jonamaldo9588 smfh I replied with my non art account last time LMAO SORRY but yes thank you so much again for the support!! ♡ A new animatic is on its way :))
I keep listening to this song, different animatics of it and the one that immediately follows it and I just... Inside I'm screaming "DENY THE GODS!" that it's the simple obvious choice... But... Then I keep thinking if I were in that position, would I find the answer so simple? Would I be tempted the same as Odysseus our of fear and longing for home?
Oh dear!! I particularly love how you depict the future of the infant which finally makes up Odysseus's mind to be the murder!!!! That's a really brilliant design
I loved the way you had Zeus showing all of the characters in the palm of his hand. It really crystallized how helpless the mortals are in the hands of the gods. It was a subtle, but effective way to communicate the powerful forces influencing Odysseus. Bravo
Amazing job, absolutely beautiful work. I hope you do more songs from Epic. You are truly talented, I love how every character has a unique look, and I absolutely love how you drew Odysseus and Zeus
THIS IS SO GOOD OMGOMG THE EXPRESSIONSSS AND IT'S SO DYNAMIC??? AND OMG THE CHARACTER DESIGN!!!!!!!!!!! AAA this is incredible i love it so much omg:)))
Oh, I don't think I've seen anyone else make an animatic with Penelope surprising Odysseus as a spectre in the crowd!! WELL DONE. I LOVE IT. It fits so well with the music!
AHHHH I PLAN TO!!! I am currently INCREDIBLY fixated on this musical so more is definitely on the way!! I just gotta get through finals so I can finally put my all into getting more out quicker!! Thank you so much!! :)) ♡
Your character design is amazing!!! I love all the details of the different hairstyles, Zeus's lighting-bolt shaped eyebrows, the owl (presumably Athena?) watching at the beginning. The facial expressions are incredible--they portray so much, and the little subtle shifts tell a whole story of their own.
All i can say is amazing!! Im lost for words because of the design, details of the background and characters and fecial expressions 😶😯❤❤❤❤ _english is my secound language so sorry for the mistakes_
You know, I would think Odysseus would blind the baby or turn him into cripple rather than kill him. Then again, maybe this is how Odysseus first started learning that there are other ways of winning. The guilt of killing a innocent forced him to think in different ways. It's interesting to see someone who is both villian and hero.

It's basically just a story about a man who lies to his wife about why he's late.

?? He tells Penelope about everything when he returns lol, even the bad. Penelope’s delighted by this. Have you ever actually read it?

Ahh thank you!! I'm glad you like them!! :D ♡
Diabetes leading the charge 😂
Nicely done animation!
This is beautifully done. Love the style.
This is one of the best I've seen so far!!!! Neo's design, little Ajax being sad, Penelope's design, Zeus showing him the future in his palm, the baby design, the inside of the horse...everything was perfect
no way you just made me emotionally attached to characters that have 2 seconds of fame in the musical through your art style and this animatic. you’re AMAZING 🤩
This is probably one of the best animatics I've ever seen it flows so well and the characters are gorgeous!!!
Well done ❤
This is such a detailed and amazing animation! I know it's been a year of this but I hope you kept drawing because is truly so so so good!
I loved the take of Odysseus being struck by Zeus lightning!
@jonamaldo9588 smfh I replied with my non art account last time LMAO SORRY but yes thank you so much again for the support!! ♡ A new animatic is on its way :))
I keep listening to this song, different animatics of it and the one that immediately follows it and I just...
Inside I'm screaming "DENY THE GODS!" that it's the simple obvious choice... But... Then I keep thinking if I were in that position, would I find the answer so simple?
Would I be tempted the same as Odysseus our of fear and longing for home?
DUUUUUUDE respect on the highest levels!
This is mindblowing, incredible, amazing, fenomenal and I could go on all day….holy smokes this is beautiful…
AHHH thank you so much!! That's so kind of you :,))) ♡
PENELOOPEEEE~ AND TELEMACHUUUSSS~ I FIGHT FOR US I FIGHT FOR UUUSSS~🎶❤❤❤
I looooove it
Every animatic I've seen has various elements that one do better than the other, but I LOVE the Neo design here in both appearances! Good stuff!
This is so vastly underrated! this is amazing fantastic job!
Pure lil Ajax and omfg neo
this animatic is AMAZING! the character designs, the emotions that you managed to capture... it's awesome!
So amazing, beautiful selection of scenes and moments. great job
Thank you so much!! You're so sweet ♡
Oh dear!! I particularly love how you depict the future of the infant which finally makes up Odysseus's mind to be the murder!!!! That's a really brilliant design
I loved the way you had Zeus showing all of the characters in the palm of his hand. It really crystallized how helpless the mortals are in the hands of the gods. It was a subtle, but effective way to communicate the powerful forces influencing Odysseus. Bravo
Amazing job, absolutely beautiful work. I hope you do more songs from Epic. You are truly talented, I love how every character has a unique look, and I absolutely love how you drew Odysseus and Zeus
THIS IS SO GOOD OMGOMG THE EXPRESSIONSSS AND IT'S SO DYNAMIC??? AND OMG THE CHARACTER DESIGN!!!!!!!!!!! AAA this is incredible i love it so much omg:)))
Oh, I don't think I've seen anyone else make an animatic with Penelope surprising Odysseus as a spectre in the crowd!! WELL DONE. I LOVE IT. It fits so well with the music!
This was BRILLIANT!! I love your art style and everyone’s design!!
This is amazing!!
The designs for all the heroes r great, the shots r really cool... this is just so underrated. You've gained a new sub :))
I love what you did with Neo!!
Holy fuck, this looks amazing.
Thank you so much!! :D
PLEASE DO MORE EPIC! This animatic was absolute FIRE!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
AHHHH I PLAN TO!!! I am currently INCREDIBLY fixated on this musical so more is definitely on the way!! I just gotta get through finals so I can finally put my all into getting more out quicker!! Thank you so much!! :)) ♡
Good luck with your finals. I totally feel you on that one. 😫😫😫 Also, you got yourself a new sub. 👍
Aw thank you so much!! I really appreciate it!! :D
And ahhh good luck on your finals as well!! We got this! >:,0
Your character design is amazing!!! I love all the details of the different hairstyles, Zeus's lighting-bolt shaped eyebrows, the owl (presumably Athena?) watching at the beginning. The facial expressions are incredible--they portray so much, and the little subtle shifts tell a whole story of their own.
We'll be the one TO SLAYYYYYYYYY
All i can say is amazing!! Im lost for words because of the design, details of the background and characters and fecial expressions 😶😯❤❤❤❤
_english is my secound language so sorry for the mistakes_
That Neo design gave me literal chills omg
YEAH YOU GAVE ZEUS LIGHTNING BROWS
LET'S GOOOOOO!
Oh god the protective cuddling at the end AUGHHGXGXGXHCH MY SOUL
BRO THIS SO GOOOOD AHHHHHHHH !!!!
This is quite a song

This is he most beautiful animation I have seen of this musical, such beauty
This is so beautiful!! ❤
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it! :)) ♡
This is absolutely incredible
I have no idea what musical this is but it was in my reccomended and I'm glad of it! Amazing work, especially conveying the expressions! ❤
this animatic is truly amazing
"but now we'll be the ones who slayyy 💅"
I love this whole thing, but especially the hair! It’s so good, I love the way that it’s messy but also clean if that makes sense?
This is incredible!!
that was awesome good job hope you make more
oh my god this is amazing keep going! I
love the design of the characters but most of the zeus and his angry eyebrows XD
You know, I would think Odysseus would blind the baby or turn him into cripple rather than kill him. Then again, maybe this is how Odysseus first started learning that there are other ways of winning. The guilt of killing a innocent forced him to think in different ways. It's interesting to see someone who is both villian and hero.
Amazing Work ❤❤❤❤
This… Is the best thing I’ve ever seen. Absolutely amazing!!!
You did a very awesome work dude!
1:33 the enemy soldier here cracks me up every time I see it. Looks like this emoji 😵💫and it is fantastic.
DANM!!!!! This is art!!! i like it so much
