EPIC: The Musical by Jorge Rivera-Herrans /@JayHerrans /
At last! ATHEEENAAA arrived! And mind your eyes everyone, the animatic turned out to be a bit flashy. But what can I do when I imagine Quick-Thought like this? hahaha...
Warrior of the Mind might be the most known song of The Troy Saga because of TikTok, no? There's no chance you haven't heard at least once the "You are ATHEEENAAA!" line.
By the way, you're aware of who sings her, right? RIGHT? If not, it is TEAGAN EARLEY, my friends, the absolute QUEEN of the EPIC Fandom

Lyrics written by Jorge Rivera-Herrans
Have you forgotten the lessons I taught you?
Athena!
Have you forgotten to turn off your heart, this is not you
I see you changing from how I've designed you
Have you forgotten your purpose?
Let me remind you
Goddess of wisdom
Master of war
My life has one mission
Create the greatest warrior
I had a challenge, a test of skill
A magic boar only the best could kill
One day a boy came for the thrill
A boy whose mind rivaled the boar's own will
Let's go!
Maybe one day he'll follow me
And wе'll make a greater tomorrow, thеn they'll see
I know he'll change the world
'Cause he is a warrior of the mind
Maybe one day I'll reach him
And we can build his skills as I teach him
If there's a problem, he'll have the answer
He is a warrior of the mind
Show yourself
I know you're watching me
Show yourself
I can see you
How can you see through my spell?
Haha! I was lying and you fell for my bluff
Hahahaha
Well done, enlighten me, what's your name?
You first and maybe I'll do the same
Nice try, but two can play this game
Nah, don't be modest
I know you're a goddess
So let's be honest
You are Athena! (Athena!)
Badass in the arena (arena)
Unmatched, witty, and queen of (and queen of)
The best strategies we've seen
If you're looking for a mentor, I'll make sure your time's well spent
Sounds like a plan
Goddess and man
Bestest of friends
We'll see where it ends
Okay
Maybe one day they'll follow me and we'll
Make a greater tomorrow, then they'll see
I know we'll change the world
'Cause we are the warriors of the mind
Maybe one day we'll reach them
And we can build their skills as we teach them
If there's a problem, we'll have the answer
We are the warriors of the mind
I still intend to make sure you don't fall behind
Don't forget that you're a warrior of a very special kind
You are a warrior of the mind
Don't disappoint me
That's all for now. Cure your souls after the Cyclops Saga :,)

Don’t forget to check the description! You might find answer to your question :D
Here's one that i am not sure about. Your design of Athena intentionally looks like Teagan Earley right?
@@nikskyson22 Yes, I plan to design all characters of their singers
@@that.drawer.mircsy Thank you I knew I recognized her hair and then the face (sooo my goodbye when?)
How long did this take to make?
@@Angel.puppeteering I didn’t really count but I assume it was around 50 hours
I love how everyone collectively agrees that at "Sounds like a plan, Goddess and Man, Bestest of friends" Odysseus is left hanging
2:36 it just has that vibe
He will have his Hi-5 one day xD
after My Goodbye probably not :(((
Fun fact- in the voice snippets on Jorges channel, where it shows the singing and recordings, the actor for Odysseus literally raises his hand and acts like he was left hanging. XD even the actors and actresses here agree.
To me it sounds like he just got friend zoned by a girl he was hitting on
One of my favorite things about this fandom is that everyone agrees that Polites wore glasses, even though they weren’t invented until around a thousand years ago.
I absolutely love that. The first time I saw the glasses I was surprised, but I love that
I think it’s cause the actor who plays him has glasses
I think I love it yeah And the little sparkles in his eyes omg
Yeah @@saralewis2010
Im a history nerd with ocd and couldn’t even take issue with that just because of how well they fit with him
I remember loving Odysseus interactions with Athena when reading the Odyssey. Like when she appeared to him disguised as a mortal and he was himself disguised as beggar - she knew it was him, but he didn't know it was her. He then proceeded to tell her the (fake) story of his life and she couldn't help but to admire how much of a cunning bastard he was for being able to come up with all that BS on the fly.
Which version of the Odyssey did you read??
I want to read it but I don't know which one to read
@@isabelbowers6622 I wouldn't know. I read it in my school library when I was 16, so I've no idea. Besides, it was a portuguese translation.
The Odyssey is honestly a crack up, but I get weird looks when I say so.
@@Kay-rm6cv The only thing i didnt like about the odyssey was the fact that poor odyesseus had to cheat on his wife with circe. SO happy that it was confirmed by jorge rivera that odysseus says no to that
Awww I love how they’re working together even as children. Nice to see Odysseus saving Polites like in the original song too!
@Emhari_Cracha Sacrifices must be made in the name of character development.
What is that original song you mention ?
@@amynarvaez2099 The writer of this musical went through several iterations of these songs, trying to get them just right. The song I’m referring to is called “your light”. I also recommend “Ismarus”
@Emhari_Cracha still mad they changed the story to kill him off early… I wonder how they’re going to get Odysseus so Circe now
@@kale3250I sorta like how they did it for story writing purposes though
Going from open arms to polyphemus
I cannot express the pure joy I felt seeing how you drew Odysseus being kind of a little shit, all smug he tricked Athena and all.
This is amazing
Odysseus is a chad
2:00
You can even see that he was surprised at himself when he grabbed his hair and did a really excited gesture before hiding it to act smart.
Tbh I'd be pretty smug amd cocky if I just tricked who I think is Athen
He was absolutely a cocky little shit as a boy
The moment when Athenas mask falls of is truly amazing, her expression and all
Thank you for this comment cuz it made me play it again to look for it and I appreciate that scene so much more now
I like how you depict Odysseus and Athena’s relationship that is an uneven dynamic; dominant-submissive. Athena is not only Odysseus’ mentor, but also his kind of master. While Odysseus is not only Athena’s student nor friend but also her kind of pet. This shows more of gods’ personas of how manipulative and how cruel they are. In this portrayal, Athena doesn’t want to guide Odysseus in the first place but to control him.
I like how Odysseus turns into the apple and Athena holds it. In Greek mythology, a golden apple represented a prize or trophy, thus not so subletly telling Odysseus that he WILL be her trophy or prize to her greatness. Love it!
This gets kinda foreshadowed by the song. He thought he found a friend and master, and she dismisses it. Then later Odysseus is like "I thought you were my friend" and she goes "I'm not, I'm your master and you failed me".
I do like to think she grew attached to him, and that's why their goodbye is explained through a song and not like an outro for the previous song. It's a big moment and not a "you disappointed me" "k bye"
I'm pretty sure that was the point of All Greek gods
@@FantasyFighterJEN nah, a few of them have myths that make it clear they view a mortal or two as their equal. Least by the standards of that time anyway. But it's usually lesser deities
...Did you have to use that wording?
DUDE! YOU ACTUALLY SLAYED!
I adore how her eyes are shown when she's recognized and she's actually surprised someone knows who she is (since her insecurities are shown in the song "my goodbye")
AND YOU LINKING IT TO "OPEN ARMS" AND THE SHEEP IN THE CAVE IN THE SECOND SAGA?! GENIUS!
You've gotten me so hyped that the fanbase already has such promising animators in it! Amazing job!
Where's the part about the sheep?
@@logging_on After the animatic is over, you can hear the baaing of the sheep
May I ask what was her insecurity by the song My Goodbye? Thank you.
@@ShinSeul She paused after Odysseus shouts "youre alone" thats because she was an unmarried, virgin goddess and the closest relationship she ever had was her mentorship with him. She's insecure about her loneliness.
@@jessicaisautistic8487 Isn't she unmarried and a virgin by choice though?
I'm just gonna a make a list of everything I loved about this
1. Athena yeeting him into the memory
2. Athena's whole design
3. Her being an owl to observe Odysseus
4. UM...YOUNG ODYSSEUS, POLITES, AND EURYLOCHUS!!!! So cute
5. Ok, I see the vision with the plan, love how Odysseus saved Polites!
6. The shot of Odysseus on the boar? Simply iconic.
7. His smugness with the sheer audacity over lying lmao
8. Athena face reveal, the way the mask fades away *chef's kiss* true art, true talent
9. Odysseus walking on the tree next to her omg it's so cute and precious and I want to sob
10. We love a training montage in this household.
11. Tactical owl escape
12. Ok, that...mark? Tattoo? Very neat in any case.
13. The way Athena held his arm is very much a reminder that, no she's not his friend.
13. I, too, feel the urge to not disappoint Athena.
14. Now I feel very sad for what lies ahead but at least your beautiful art makes it look good.
I think the "tattoo" is an arm guard, like part of his armor
YES
This whole thing is the best WotM animatic in existence.
This has been the best thing I’ve read in a while. So enlightening 😂
YES!! Literally everything you listed :D !!
I know I am a year late almost, and just getting into this musical as a friend introduced me to it a few weeks ago, but one detail I like is how she reconstitutes her cool owl visor into an owl tiara after she has been found out, now that she is taking Odysseus under her wing (yeah I know, pun...xD )
I love the characterisation you gave Atena. Like, yes she was impressed with kid Odysseus, yes she trained him and he clearly adimired her, but there was still a distance, a coldness and, when she grabed his arm almost a vaild treat in the "don't disapoint me". Perfect set up to My Goodbye. Amazing work
(Sorry for any bad spelling, english is not my first language)
You write better than me and English is my first language lol
@@zaydenpressley ikr
Your English is amazing the only slight spelling mistake I think is you misspelled threat as treat.
@@neolord1215 sorry great lord of all shakespearian knowledge this gravel forgot who she was speaking to
@@vickymoon933 You are forgiven simpleton, it would be wrong of me to begrudge filth for acting the way it naturally does. Do not forget that you live the rest of your days only due to my benevolence and kindness. I bid you adieu.
People don't realize how controlling Athena is to Odysseus. Athena straight up said "I see you changing from how I've designed you" like everything he did goes to her? Which is partly true after all Athena did mentor him. But, Athena was only there because Odysseus had so much potential. Her intentions are to get recognition by training an amazing warrior. Some may say that's not true but, in the song "My Goodbye" Odysseus said "why's your life spent all alone? You're alone". That clearly hunt of her feelings because, she is fighting to know and to get recognition. And the way she thinks she will be know is training and controlling a amazing warrior.
I like to think that she grew affectionate to him to the point that he hurt her feelings when saying that.
But yeah he was serving a purpose and that's why she approached him in the first place.
This is kind of foreshadowed here, because he considered her a friend and she dismissed this. So in the other song he goes "I thought you were my friend" and she's like "I'm not, I'm your master"
I love the way Athena treats him in this. Most animatics only show Athena and Odysseus interacting when he is young, where their relationship is more teasing. Now, he dissapointed her. She grabs him, throws him on his back and holds him up by the arm. You can really see the difference in status and the way she sees Odysseus. The way you drew 'don't dissapoint me' makes it threatening. I just love the interpretation of it all
The title is actually also a pun
Because Athena is quite literally a “warrior of the mind” in 2 ways
1. She’s the Goddess of Warfare and Strategy
2. She is the headache baby of Zeus
She is also a warrior speaking to Odysseus' in his mind in the second he caught the apple from Polites.
3:27 Athena holding an apple.
It could show Athena's readiness to take on the mentorship role. like, you know...how they would give apples to teachers?
Theory 2: The apple could be a nod to the Iliad. The one the Trojan Prince had to choose which of the three goddesses to give, in which Athena's offer of wisdom was lost to Aphrodite's offer of giving the prince the most beautiful woman in the world. Whoever won that apple has the right to be entitled Goddess of Beauty, which Athena clearly lost.
So I'm guessing that Odysseus would acquire the wisdom and skills Paris could've had. And I think Athena looks most beautiful in that time frame with the owl wings and untouched regal stance.
Do you know which version of the Illiad is the best to read??
@@isabelbowers6622 No, but I'm planning to start reading the Iliad on April. Haven't gotten much time for myself these days. Do you have any suggestions?
Well a nod to the cyclian poems around Iliad since there is no judgment of Paris in Iliad (Iliad starts at the final year of Trojan War and ends at Hector's funeral) but point taken it is a very good suggestion
@isabelbowers6622 you can even find it online at persons.tufts in both English and the original Greek. It is pretty decent translation and you can click on the words for more info
I was thinking about the 2nd idea, but I was searching for any other ideas and the 1st one is also good.
I LOVE how it looks like she's scrolling through save screens to find the flashback she wanted. Way to keep the video game influences Jay wrote throughout the whole musical! Such a great touch.
Ok but now I imagine her frantically scrolling through memories to find which one is good to show him😂 I know that's probably not what happened but it's a vibe I'm getting 😂
Oh my holy cow what in the Hades was that
I need to make a checklist for all the things I'm sorry
1. Let's just appreciate the fluidness of Athena's transformation right after the start credits like HOW COOL IS THAT???
2. The storytelling and how it's fitted perfectly with the Open Arms animatic 😭😭❤️
3. ATHENAS DESIGN
LIKE DAMN, THAT IS SOME OTHERWORLDLY SHT, HOLY HADES, THE MASK, THE IDEA OF IT DISAPPEARING WHEN ODY SAYS HER NAME, THE FACT THAT SHE HAS W I N G S (yes she is my favourite goddess and yes I apparently love any character that possesses wings)
4. Athena and Ody's relationship shown here and then in contrast how Athena is both kinda irritated and disappointed at his reaction to Polites' philosophy omh
5. Let's once more just ADMIRE THE ARTSTYLE
5.1 AND THE HANDS
5.2 AND ALL THE DESIGNS AND THE FACT THAT THEY LOOK LIKE THEIR ACTORS
so uhh mircsy in conclusion this animatic is so good I can't express this enough I am just in love marry me pls
I get the rings LMAO👀
Okay 👀💅
:D !!!
Wings are just hot 🤷
This is amazing!!! I love how you interpret Quick-Thought. Portraying it as an out-of-body/Astral projection is so clever! Athena’s changing form into an owl, the magic boar, and the seal on Odysseus. Not to mention how adorable you made Argos!
Ikr!! The whole Quick-Thought ability Athena has where she conveys all of this in a second of real time (which is how Polites sees it during Open Arms), but here it’s all shown as Athena showing all of these memories to Odysseus as a reminder :D !! It’s such an awesome way to visualize it
THIS IS JUST SO BEAUTIFUL!! You considered details such as Odysseus saving Polites and I just LOVED when Athena talks to young Odysseus all the facial expressions were so accurate, I hope you make more animatics because this just made my day
The animalistic non-natural (otherworldly/different) touches to Athena when the mask comes off are cool. I can't explain what it is about her expression or facial features in that exact moment, but she reminds me strongly of a lioness then. The confident dominance, the inherent danger and deadly threat of her power, and her keenly sharp mind.
And a few seconds before, her nails remind me of claws which adds to the overall deadly predator vibe that becomes unsubtle during her holding him by the wrist then her glowing forbidding eyes and cold demand of 'dont disappoint me'
Part of it is how much bigger she is to Odysseus. She is physically imposing in every sense of the statement. Odysseus is between 10 - 13 and barely comes to her shoulders. She is absolutely jacked compared to his frame.
As he grows up, he never catches up to her in height! She actually gets even bigger compared to how she initially portrayed herself, most notably in the part where everyone says she is thinly veiling a threat that he better not disappoint her.
When she appeared to him as a child, he could stand up to her shoulder. When she appears to him when he is a King, he is barely beneath her bust. We could argue she is using her actual size to subtle put him in his place; beneath her, reinforcing her demands that his only right choice is to obey.
HOLY CRAP THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!! The part where Odysseus says “Sounds like a plan, goddess to man, bestest of friends” made me smile because of his face being full of such childlike glee at finding out that Athena would mentor him.
The way he puts his hand up like for a high-five but Athena low-key ghosts him 💀🤚🏼
And the way even his hair lost Enthusiasm at the okay
Gods, the FACE REVEAL is so GOOD! Just, the idea that Odysseus's declaration of truth was strong enough to strip away the mask off her face is so good; it's not like anyone would question the badass giant lady with wings and a spear and helmet WASN'T Athena, but the fact he instantly knew, steps up to her challenge of 'you tell me who you are first', and describes her in a way that gets to the core of who she is, is enough to rend her illusion away from her. Such good visual storytelling.
I am SPEECHLESS! This is so amazing, the boys being friends since childhood, Odysseus's being a little shit and tricking Athena, her face when the mask falls is priceless. I loved every second of this
2:25 I think I feel in love with a drawing ❤
Odysseus: Athena! (Athena!) Badass 💃SEÑORITA✨️
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love how you included Odysseus' dog at 3:03. I really hope he gets a better end in the musical than in the original :)
Though to be fair, the pup was at least 20 years old, so I’m surprised that that it lived long enough to see Odysseus again, after he left for war.
unfortunately, Jorge said that in Telemachus' song "Legendary" he wanted the dog to be seen in an animatic marching along with him as he sings and then he never wants to see it again after that lol
his own words
I love how you depicted Odysseus’s growth alongside Athena’s influence. A child eager to take on a challenge with his friends, to a skilled fighter and king, to a man hardened by war and loss. I loved seeing little Ody protect little Polites and seeing how much he cares for his friends, and that part is especially gutting knowing how the rest of the story plays out.
This was great, the mask falling, Athena grabbing Odysseus’ tattoo at the end, the credits, the style, and much more. Thanks for putting the time in this.
"If he isnt allowed to love then he is no longer a warrior, but a slave"
… welp, I’m saving this
actually one of my favourite details about this song that i just noticed while watching this - every time Athena sings the phrase "warrior of the mind" at the start of the song, she draws out the "miiiind" as one flat note.
Then when she meets Odysseus and they agree to team up, she continues singing as usual, and he joins in part way through, except he sings it differently to Athena, more enthusiasm and energy, less cleancut/proud/clear sounding lines - you can hear the difference between how their two voices say "mind" at the same time.
After that point, Athena changes to sing it the same way as Odysseus - she learned from him!
She doesnt even just sing it in his style when theyre harmonising - at the end of the song when she threatens him that he shouldnt disappoint her, she says "warrior of the mind" in the same style that Odysseus taught her :)
2:40 this is literally my favourite part and noone can change my mind
Allow me also to add this; I absolutely LOVED the clip at 1:33 where Odysseus looks up to the branch to see the owl watching him! He knows it's her!
It almost feels like a wink to Iliad. In rhapsody K (10th) when he and Diomedes had to sneak into the Trojan camp, Athena sent a night bird and although he couldn't see, he immediately recognized the cry of the bird and Odysseus was the first to recognize her and pray to her.
Dunno why I loved this detail so much! ❤
The way that you made his soul crawl OUT of his body INTO the vision instead of just having him see a vision please I am OBSESSED-
I loved every single second of it. Please please do the rest of the saga. I would love to see your design of "Survive" and "My Goodbye". The astral body idea is such a great idea man. Loved your work. Keep at it 👍
Both of those hit so hard, this artist is amazing.
I JUST REALIZED DAT OPEN ARMS ENDING RELATED WITH THE BEGINNING OF THIS SONG MAIGASHH..HOW CAN I JUST DISCOVER IT NOWWWW HABDJAHDHSJJXJS
Why is her owl firm at 2:55 SO cute?
DUDE THIS WAS SO FUCKING GOOD. The fact that they were friends as kids, and Odysseus being a little shit. (How cute tiny Politese is) The fact that the designs resemble the characters voice actors. Athena's eyes being revealed at the same time as her identity? The size difference between Odysseus and Athena??? *The way it fucking links back to Open Arms* Absolute perfection. And the sheep at the end hinting to the Cyclops??? I might edit this each time I notice more things. Keep up the goddamn beautiful work.
AAAA THE TRIO AS CHILDREN I CAN'T IT'S SO CUTE
I loved this so much, specially your design for Athena, she looks beautiful
That Owl flying scene!
Magestic!
And him saving Polites!
Best friends
I really love how in most Warrior of the Mind animatics you can see that while Athena didn’t plan to become Odysseus’s friend she in the end still did become close to him.
omg I love it! Especially Odysseus' facial expressions when he's looking for Athena (but actually all facial expressions, really) are so well drawn! And the transition from Athena becoming an owl - it looks so cool.
And in my opinion the connection between this animatic and the Open Arms one is incredibly made. I always wondered how these songs would fit together in the storyline. Here I have my explanation.
I couldn't stop smiling watching this. All the details! I love Odysseus, Polites, and friends plotting and enacting their clever plan against the boar. And the call back to Your Light! Also, Athena's design and moves are awesome. I would love to see something similar to this played out on stage during the flash-back so the audience could see a little more of Odysseus and Polites together before . . . you know. Too many things I could comment on, so I'll leave it at that.
oh my god this was PERFECTION!! i can 100% see the vision behind it and imagine what it would look like as a full animation, but honestly as an animatic it's gorgeously stylized and just EVERYTHING this song should be! it totally enhances the source material, not to mention your art style is gorgeous and your ability to draw dynamic poses that can be interpreted as movement is beyond enviable!!! this is just SO good i'm in love :,D
This is AMAZING!!!! I got literal chills when he pointed to Athena and she was unmasked! Absolutely genius, well done! ❤️
Hear me out! I came up with an idea for a crossover we need. Epic x Hamilton!
The frame at 2:08 minutes gave me the impression of Athena talking to Alexander.
Idk if this is intended but i *LOVE* the "your light" reference at 1:25 when Oddyseus said "you tried to move but your muscles wouldn't give" then Polites said "but then you jumped right in his way you forced the boar down and saved the day"
it is yeah, I love that song a lot so I had to refrence it☺️
If only Odysseus know he was making the biggest mistake of his life.
DUDE. this is the best animatic ive ever seen, hands down. its so gorgeous, full of life and character im in love. i love how you envision Athena!! ive never seen her depicted with wings (her turning into her symbol as the owl was SO smooth uhm hello??) but this makes so much sense to me. im flabbergasted, shook and in awe. you're crazy skilled💗😭
Everything about this is amazing. I love the art style, the little boys being friends (🥺🥺🥺), little Odysseus being so playful, and Athena!! Her wings! Mask!! Clothes!!! The details!! Her mask crumbling when Odysseus says her name👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 and the scenery, as well. I love how you’ve made this somewhat of a daydream flashback! ❤️❤️
Two words: Love it. I am in awe at this, really like the animation and the you're style. I especially like the way you portrayed the meaning of the words in the video and the reference made to the actualy myth. i really love everything about this and, if asked, I dont think I'd be able to choose a favourite moment of this video; it is really all a perfect work in my eyes.
I just love how whenever I watch these animatics they all make the gods slightly inhuman. Which is "canonical" to the myths as all of the humans were based off of the gods but the gods being themselves and a bit too selfish(Zeus) didn't want them to be exactly like themselves. I love how you made her taller which is imposing as her status as a war goddess but also made her look elegant as in the Myths she is considered beautiful. I love all of the Owl motifs in her design and how her armour looks practical and alike to her statues but also has a bit of a modern twist with the fishnets/chainmail. Athena is one of my favourite goddess in Myths(because she's pretty chill and won't curse you because Zeus had his way with you, or curse you because you ruined her OTP). So just to see her portrayed accurately but still with a modern twist is just beautiful.
Interestingly enough, a lot of people forget Odysseus has a large scar on one of his calves, and he got the scar from his fight with that boar.
AAAUUGHH THIS IS SO COOL OHHH MY GOD !!!!!!!!!!!
LOVE HOW YOU PORTRAYED ATHENA'S QUICK THOUGHT POWERS!! THE WAY SHE PULLED OUT ODYSSEUS'S MEMORIES AND HOW EASILY SHE MANIPULATES HIM THROUGH HER DIMENSION AAAAA
this is just so frickin cool thank you so much for making these
Literally in love with Athena’s wings. I never considered her having them before but I can’t unsee that now
WOW THIS IS SO COOL
WHREE DO I EVEN START
All of Odysseus child scenes especially the sparkle laugh
Athena power poses and the possessive holdings on Odysseus scenes gave me chills omg
Him standing on the tree trunk walking beside her is perfect imagery. Well done.
Years of battling have let Athena to lock her emotions in order to fight without hesitant. But young Odysseus will show him there's more to life than being a warrior of you opened your heart a bit
FLIPPIN’ SPECTACULAR! This was actually amazing. I love how you tied it in with Open Arms and how you did the flashbacks/time progression. I also really like how you drew Athena, especially her mask. Great job!
That's so cool! I just realised that at 0:42 , you can see owls on her outfit because an owl is considered wise and Athena is the Godess of Wisdom and Master of War! I love how you put detail into her outfit like that
HOLy SHIT THE FRAME RATE AT THE BEGINNING! The way you drew Athena so elegantly- TRANSITION TO FLIGHT? THE FLASH OF MEMORIES? Gives me vibes of that one scene from lullaby for a princess. AUGHFIJAIHDIHSJS ITS SO GOOD!!!
I must admit…the idea came from that🤣
@@that.drawer.mircsy YOU HAVE GOOD TASTES!!! this is amazing!! I'm so AAUGHGHGHG
Also, it's not this video, but your Open Arms video inspired me so hard to make one myself based off of some OCs! Your art is such an inspiration ;A; Keep up the great great work!!!
AND ALSO THE LIKE. REVEAL/DROP OF ATHENAS NAME WITH THE REVEAL OF HER EYES TO HUMANISE HER??? MAN
This was amazing! I love how you did the part of how she said she designed him and how she just threw him in his flashbacks! Also the way you designed Athena really looks beautiful and strong.
OOOOOOH THIS IS SO COOL!!! I love the owl flying animation!! And the boar fight scene with Athena watching!! And he looks so excited during the bluffing portion :D !!! Odysseus looks so smug, it’s great - also 2:20 !!! Gosh this is seriously awesome
I am so in love with how you designed Athena. She has been one of my favorite goddesses and I feel you did her such a great justice! This video made me grin ear to ear. I can't wait to see more!!!
This is my 8 year olds favourite song right now - she knows all the words and it has led to an interest in Greek mythology! Thank you
I can't describe well, it but the mood of this made it feel like Odysseus's genuine respect for Athena, not only as a mentor but as a friend, was met unrequited since through the beginning and end there was a sense of coldness from her even considering she practically raised him...it's such a lonely feeling...
Oh my goodness this was amazing!! The designs the fluidity how SMUG Odysseus looked as a kid just everything! It really scratches the itch of my current obsession
I don't normally comment on videos, but I had to let you know how much I love this! Words barely cover the surface of this talent that you bave built!! The hatching, the movement, the angles, THE OWL ANIMATION?! This song and musical are my current hyperfixation and this video is going to keep that going. You earned a new subscriber within the first 30 seconds, keep going and making more animatics!!
ahw thank you so much!!🥹
Ahhh! Please tell me you're thinking of doing more from that musical! I really adore your animation work and your drawing skills! This was an awesome animation. I haven't seen animation like this since Szin and Claudia Cacace!
HOLY SMOKES, THANK YOU SO MUCH! And yes, I plan doing more since there are 38 songs left to go I haven’t animated yet🙏🥹
@@that.drawer.mircsy my support to you! I can't wait to see your masterpieces like these recent two 😄
All I can say is: THAT WAS SO SICK DUDE I WAS IN AWE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SEQUENCE. From the designs you gave each character to creatively alternating between Athena’s owl and godly form, the unmasking, the way you make sure that Athena isn’t overly friendly!!!
As someone who has absolutely no clue what’s going on.. I love this! Like the facial expressions are amazing!! ❤
OH MY GOD! These are basically the exact images/music video my mind sees when I listen to these songs, only you are talented enough to make it real!! I'm jealous and in awe of how good the drawings are and how great the story telling is!!! Please do more!
I really love the interpretation of Athena mentoring him as a kid, since he'd known her a while as an adult.
PLZ SAY YOU SENT HIM THIS, HE'LL ACTUALLY DO A BACKFLIP. You did awesome. thank you for sharing. I am happy greek myth has come back into vogue in recent years. I absolutely love the stories and motifs.
I fucking loved everything about this, you’re such an incredible animator/artist!! I loved how they knew each other as kids and how he was being thrown around by Athena! It shows their relationship quite well!! Thank you for sharing this with us! ❤❤
>pulls out uno reverse card<
I thank You for taking the time and watching it🥹
Gods this Athena design is so beautiful, I'm doomed.
LYRICS:
Have you forgotten the lessons I taught you?
Athena!
Have you forgotten to turn off your heart, this is not you
I see you changing from how I've designed you
Have you forgotten your purpose?
Let me remind you
Goddess of wisdom
Master of war
My life has one mission
Create the greatest warrior
I had a challenge, a test of skill
A magic boar only the best could kill
One day a boy came for the thrill
A boy whose mind rivaled the boar's own will
Let's go!
Maybe one day he'll follow me
And wе'll make a greater tomorrow, thеn they'll see
I know he'll change the world
'Cause he is a warrior of the mind
Maybe one day I'll reach him
And we can build his skills as I teach him
If there's a problem, he'll have the answer
He is a warrior of the mind
Show yourself
I know you're watching me
Show yourself
I can see you
How can you see through my spell?
Haha! I was lying and you fell for my bluff
Hahahaha
Well done, enlighten me, what's your name?
You first and maybe I'll do the same
Nice try, but two can play this game
Nah, don't be modest
I know you're a goddess
So let's be honest
You are Athena! (Athena!)
Badass in the arena (arena)
Unmatched, witty, and queen of (and queen of)
The best strategies we've seen
If you're looking for a mentor, I'll make sure your time's well spent
Sounds like a plan
Goddess and man
Bestest of friends
We'll see where it ends
Okay
Maybe one day they'll follow me and we'll
Make a greater tomorrow, then they'll see
I know we'll change the world
'Cause we are the warriors of the mind
Maybe one day we'll reach them
And we can build their skills as we teach them
If there's a problem, we'll have the answer
We are the warriors of the mind
I still intend to make sure you don't fall behind
Don't forget that you're a warrior of a very special kind
You are a warrior of the mind
Don't disappoint me
Oh my gosh this is so well done! From artstyles to character designs to editing and to storyboarding, this is the best epic animatic I have yet to seen!

not lying i felt chills watching this. I've maybe replayed this over a thousand times
I'm in awe at how much detail you drew on Athena and Odysseus! This is great!
I love the expressions, especially the sassy Odysseus ❤
This is the best animation i have ever seen. I love how you drew everything!
I like how you did athena when she said "you changed from how i designed you" with the screens of thoughts
Okay, fun little detail about this song: Odysseus never actually revealed his name to Athena in the flashbacks. This makes a lot of sense, because this takes place before the Troy Saga, before “The Odyssey”.
The name “Odysseus” can translate to mean ‘To be wroth against, to hate’ or ‘to lament’ or ‘to be lost’ depending on which source you’re using. (Nowadays it can just mean a lost traveler.)
Because he hasn’t gone on his journey yet, he hasn’t experienced hatred or loss yet, and therefore he doesn’t reveal his name.
It isn’t until the end of the Cyclops Saga that he realizes he is lost, and has experienced loss and been on the receiving end of hatred. It is only then he reveals: “I am the infamous… ODYSSEUS!!!”
I'm not going to lie this design of Athena has changed my brain forever. I'm so incredibly gay that I've rewatched this animatic at least a hundred times by now. Literally the best thing I've seen and it has brought me so much joy, thank you for giving me this and I shall now keep watching on the background this entire next week or month even
Holy crap your art is amazing! It has given me a new head canon: In "Goodbye," when Odysseus shouts "You're alone!" and her tone changes, she sheds a single tear before putting on her mask to cover it.
i love how instead of giving her the basic warrior u gave her a mask 10/10 love this
Love how she just yeeted him into the depths of his own mind
I noticed just now. The plan to kill the boar failed, and Odysseus killed it saving the life of his friend. Not so much a "Warrior of the Mind" from the start, not at all~
This is the perfect, definite animated version of this song now! Athena's design with owl-mask, manhandling Odysseus at the start and him having bracelet marking him as her chosen, just.. 👏👏👏 Then there's Argos and little crew and Odysseus bowing to owl/athena, it's just so good, this got long!
Athenas transformation to owl is AMAZING!!
Omg I never noticed before how you added a reference to the cut song “Your Light” when Odysseus pushes Polites out of the way of the boar!
That’s amazing attention to detail, and I love it!!!
OMG IT'S AMAZING!! The design, the expressions, everything with the song... You're so talented, keep up! 😍
I love the whole animation 😭
The way how you put Athena there when he become the King of Ithaca and bowing to his Mentor that's so goodddddd
His smug little laugh after he reveals her had me rolling on the floor
1:30
the thing i like about this scene is that Odysseus looks towards Athena in curiosity, but then pays attention to the ball thrown by his friends. this is foreshadowing their rift and what causes it. how Odysseus cares more about the people around him and his human side then Athena and her guidance
Well done! This is one of the best anamaic I've ever seen.
I like how you see a bit of Athena training him as time passes. But I really like how you have Odysseus ,as a child, walking on a log as he starts singing with Athena. It's as if he sees her as a friend and naively thinks he's equal to her. Then, near the end, for her to grab his arm harshly trying to remind him of what their relationship really is just a mistress and her chess piece. The tattoo is like a brand showing him that he belongs to her. Odysseus's mind that was his weapon and talent, is now his obligation and chain to the goddess Athena.
THIS IS AWESOME Athena's design POPS OFF (and the general video idea/time of them getting to know each other is precious) keep up the amazing work!!
From the times I have heard of this tidbit of the song, I realized that due to Athena's controlling issues of making Odysseus an infallible warrior of the mind...SHE is the one who ended up breaking his warrior spirit, because she has the same weakness as any other Greek God: the incapability to comprehend the fragility of the human heart, and how it can overtake even the most powerful minds. Athena was so set for Odysseus to follow HER design for him, that she neglected that what made Odysseus a great candidate to become the greatest warrior is his own set of strengths and weaknesses. Rather than working around that to make him thrive, she ended up wanting to just force him into submission.
I absolutely love the design you gave Athena and how Odysseus is so *smug*. Excited to see any other works you create! Absolutely subscribing.
