My first ever finished animatic and first time I’ve posted any drawings of humans…
I’m still new at drawing humans, so please forgive how weird they look here. I did this section of music so I could draw the sirens in my style :)
The colors look kinda weird, too
Program used:
Procreate dreams
Time took:
~35 hours
Music by the man, the myth, the legend, Jorge Rivera-Herrans
Suffering from Epic: The musical
Different Beast from Epic: The musical
Animatic speedrun
I LOVE EPIC!!!!! #epicthemusical
The siren deaign is phenomenal! The human face is just mimicry for prey and, presumably, has hardly any of the functionality that a real face would have. It seriously shifts the dynamic to have the sirens so large and bestial, they're VERY clearly predators.
AHHH Tysm!! Yes, that is exactly how I intended it. The face on their heads serve as a basis for illusions or visions in the victim's mind, which was why ody was on a beach in the first scene :)
@@ShiftingStorms It's so well thought out! Even when the siren is imitating Penelope, it moves in this way that makes sense for the short little legs and long body you gave it. Plus it looks like it uses the water but still breathes air, maybe in a reptilian way, and slicing off the tails really would make them drown without that propulsion. Very well conceived!
@@ShiftingStorms yo that is so cool i did not pick up on the beach thing but now that you point it out 10/10 great stuff
@@ShiftingStorms Would love to see your design for Scylla
@@CanetaErrante Noted :D
The sirens' design is SICK
If this is how the sirens look; imagine the horrors of what Scylla would look like in your designs!
i'd love to see that.
She would be scary, imagine Enkidna, the mother of all monsters. She probably even worse.
The “what?” Was priceless
It looks so derpy- (••< “what?”
Love the ballance between pop-culture mermaid siren and classical bird siren, with just a splash of elderitch horror siren. Such a unique and terrifying design that somehow pleases everyone.
All put together to make a Mesozoic looking sea dragon that hunts sailors
I wanna note that "pop culture siren" isn't an entirely fair description. Sirens have been fish people in European literature for nearly a millennium-- it started with the Reneissance, but was solidified in English lit by Shakespeare. It's like saying cyclopses with only one eye are "pop culture cyclopses" just because Polyphemus had two eyes in the Odyssey. It's closer to "Classical Greek sirens vs English sirens"
I love this siren design and I love how dorky she looks when she said "what??"
The tear! Odysseus hurts at harming anything that even remotely looks like Penelope!
Exactly bro XD
THE SIRENS DESIGN IS SO COOL???? WTF I LOVE THIS OML
TY!!!!
Y'know what? I like how you made the sirens look more monstrous rather than the typical half pretty woman half fish depiction of them...the design also helps distinguish mermaids from sirens(since your design kinda resembles both a bird and a fish) and also because they're both different creatures. Also making the sirens monstrous would make people feel less sorry for their deaths ngl which is how it should be.
The annoyed look on the siren's face when Odysseus called her out, that indignant huff, then the offended hiss omg so childish but relatable. Reminds me of the crocodile from Peter Pan when he failed eating Hook and Smee shooed him away, the same reaction happens with the Octopus in Return to Nederland. I don't know, The Siren's face is just so comical despite her being an actual predator 😂😂😂
Haha yeah the siren seems so petty XD
Sirens as weird mosasaur-sea lion hybrids headcanon COMFIRMED
✅✅✅✅✅
Can we just gush for a moment about how haunting it is when the “real” eyes open on the siren and the exhale at 0:39???
Amazing design.
YOURE MAKING ME HAPPY STIM!! Ty for noticing
I LOVE YOUR DESIGNS FOR THE SIRENS. If you're up for it, a full animatic for Different Beast with your siren design or even any other vid with your take on sirens (like a species profile or something with your interpreptation) would be amazing. I love it.
Ahh!! Tysm!! I have a species sheet I made on paper before starting the animatic, and I would love to draw more of them >:D
@@ShiftingStormsthat would be amazing
I absolutely adore the fact that you drew the sirens as something inhuman, something monstrous, some other form of creature. I’ve never seen anything but the animatics for this song having the sirens drawn as just human women with tails. Even with all the thrilling mystery Epic the Musical presents with their illusions implying they could look like anything underneath, and their voices sounding a pitch too perfect, and too in-unison, and high and screechy and almost instrumental-like when Odysseus’s crew has them captured, suggesting what we think of as vocal cords might not even be what their voices are coming from. I’m glad you actually got creative with the designs and addressed the possibilities for imagination and didn’t just draw more ladies with fish tails and fin ears for this fascinating song.
Awwww tysm for the comment! I’m very, very glad my designs appealed to you- I am happy to show my bestial sirens; I’ve always been intrigued by having sirens depicted not as simply mermaids, but as actual predators! It means a lot that someone feels the same ^^
I love what you’ve done with your interpretation of a siren. Because modern media interprets the siren as a mermaid, but what you have done is incredible. You made it appear like a Mermaid and a Siren are two VASTLY different creatures.
I love that you actually used a siren, and not a mermaid!
I really love these takes on the sirens, they look EPIC!! I first thought they were a bird, fish hybrid like how sirens were originally depicted as harpys but later was made to look like mermaids. These are probably just amphibians with big scales and a dino face. Anyway I think people should reinterpret monsters in their unique way like this because we can get designs like these.
Oh my gods the sirens are so cool! They remind me of SCP-682, the unkillable lizard thing. The human face design on top of their heads was genius! And 1:17 was so hilarious 💀
You seriously just dropped the coolest aquatic siren design and ends it with derpy dragon face.... "what" do you mean?!!!
WTH THESE ARE THE COOLEST SIREN DESIGNS I'VE SEEN
I love how beastly you made them and while the humanoid classic designs for other sirens I've seen are still great, this has to be the most unique take I've seen! The extra detail of Ody crying knowing that it isn't Pen but still having a hard time hurting something that looks like her is real good attention to detail
EE Ty!!! Thanks for noticing that :D
HOLY HELL THE SIRENS ARE SO COOL WHAT. WOAH.
Also those final frames are just "wh- ooh. Shit.."
I love the mix of modern half-fish sirens with the classical greek bird sirens that often don't appear in media
I lOVE THIS!?!? First off the sirnes deign is amazing, don't get me wrong, the design for odysseous and the ship are nice, the ship has some smooth curves and elegant railings, but I adore the siren design. They look like a mad fusion of a lion, shark, and crocodile. I love the expressions that siren! Penelope has, and the way she expresses emotion in the more beastly form, the little hiss and the goofy face when he tells her about what happened to her friends. Plus the dissonance between the human and best form, it makes them resemble japanese yokai or Jttw demons more than anything else! Now, unto odysseous, i love his expressions, the way that although he's playing the siren he is genuinly upset about having to shoot something which resembles his wife, and his sassy body language after shooting her. Even the water, the stones, and the stormy sky look stunning! Also, the sirens are absolutely huge! I think only a great white, an orca or an elephant seal would've rivaled them(had they entered the water they would be super dead, and no wonder odysseous refered to her making them into "snacks" not "meals"), had the shot at 1:11 is absolutely amazing at bringing the huge size of both the sirens and the ship! You would make an excellent speculative evolution project judging from the sirens designs!. Thank you for making it!
Your comment means a lot to me! Thank you :D
Original Story: just cover your ears with beeswax and sail past them
EPIC The Musical: *COWABUNGA IT IS*
I know you’ve already been told many times but for real, I have seen probably over a dozen animatics of Suffering / A Different Beast and this is my favorite siren design BY FAR. It’s so bestial and unnerving, easily on par with Mircsy’s Polyphemus design. The shot of them all in the water was great as well, phenomenal job overall!
YOOO That means a lot, tysm!!!
OMG mirscy's polyphemus design goes so hard ur so real for mentioning that
I think mircsy’s polyphemus is a great comparison. Cause with that you could still tell it was a cyclops, even with it being so crazy. It had one eye, was humanoid, carried a club. Cyclops. Here is similar. It’s so crazy but if you break it down it just becomes obvious it’s a siren. Feathered? Check. Fishy? Check. Mimicry? Check. Predatory? Check. All the hallmarks of siren design.
This is almost as far from mythically accurate as possible... but damn if this design isn't freaking phenomenal!
I loved the siren's design! They really looked like monsters or wild predators in their real form, that was insane!
(And the 'WHAT?' in the end was awesome)
I love the siren design, and I love that Odysseus is just crying in the background for half of this
HOLY SHIT WHAT IS THAT SIREN DESIGN. I’m in love it’s such a unique take!!!
Ty!!
That siren design is going to give me nightmares. The absolute monstrous look and design took me aback, but the uniqueness is very refreshing to see.
Great job!
I am absolutely in LOVE with both the siren's and Penelope's designs - they are both incredibly detailed and original. Thank you!
@@anagramm9242 tysm!!!
LOVE your design of the sirens!!! Reminds me of Ice Age 4 where the Sirens are these weird fish monster things that can disguise themselves.
Phenomenal! Spectacular! Superb!
The siren design is brilliant. I love the avian features, paying homage to sirens originally having been described as a bird-women, not mermaids.
Favorite shots: “there are packs of you hiding” (0:50) and “you didn’t notice that your friends got snatched” (1:17)
“Penelope whyyy? You know I’m too shy~ ☺️” *hair tuck*
Quite the cool take on the sirens!!!! Never seen full beast modes like that. LOVE IT!!!!!
@@dnpanimationstudio382Thank you!!
this is genuinely one of the coolest designs for sirens i’ve ever seen, i love the snort and the hiss
Thank you for not making the sirens as mermaids!!! And you even added feathers!!! I love you!
Hah Yw! I love your pfp, burrito Achilles my beloved
Holy smokes shifting, this is amazing and underrated!! this is prob the first time I've seen u draw hoomans? 👀👀 tho whether first or more its outstanding and beautiful 🤩
Haha yes, it is! Not my bestttt but ill keep working on it :D
@@ShiftingStorms its okie and wishing u the best of luck with drawing more hehe :3
Yooo ur so close to 600 hkskshhfs!!!
@@Afosiosi_the_Animator OH MY. I didnt realize that until now XD Oml
@@ShiftingStorms XD yee
Joining the chorus of saying that's like the sickest most creative siren design I've ever seen, I LOVE it!
@@rougeblackborn Haha ty!!!
That was fantastic! I know everyone is saying it but your siren design is incredible, they're so imposing and I love the idea of the face on their heads being a center for their illusions, and the little flash at 0:23 was some really cool foreshadowing! Really great work. And don't worry, your humans didn't look too weird at all, I really enjoy your take on Penelope!
Thank you so much!!
Okay this is officially my new favourite design for a siren. I love how animalistic you made them.
I have watched so many animatics of this and yours is the ONLY one that doesnt show them as a mermaid!!!❤❤❤
One of the most unique, and one of the BEST siren designs I've ever seen!!
Everyone else has already said it but I gotta throw my two cents in too I *adore* the siren designs they're perfect
Tysm!!!
THAT IS SO COOL!!!! Like everyone’s been saying, that siren design is AWESOME!!
Thank you Lilac :DD
The siren design is incredible!! I love how it changed forms especially after getting shot. You're amazing!!
The siren design here is amazing! My favorite so far.
... This is a beautiful mix of accurate Greek siren and fish siren and I absolutely adore it
OMFG THE SIREN DESIGN IS SO UNIQUE?? I LOVE HOW IT BOTH INCORPORATES THE POP CULTURE DESIGN AND THE ORIGINAL/MYTHOLOGY DESIGN. OMGG FAVORITE SIREN DESIGN EVER!!!
Absolutely obsessed with this version of sirens OMG
The siren faces are so cool
The siren design is so unique and the eel like undulation underwater just chef kiss, reminds of me of Skullcrawlers and bridge worms by Trevor Henderson!
I’ve been desperately looking for a Different Beast Animatic as it’s my fav song from this saga. This is the first one I’ve found and I’m not disappointed
HOLY SHIT! That siren design is terrifying
The creature design in this makes my brain go ‘!!!!!!!!!!!’ like I am beside myself for real
HOLY SMOKES THIS IS AMAZING WOAHH THE SIREN DESIGNS?? MIND BLOWN
ooo what a fun siren design! love the mask face on its head and the feather-like mane around its neck- like a little nod to how originally sirens were described as bird like. i would watch an animation of just them swimming. they are so mesmerizing and creative!
This is awesome!! I can't express how amazing that Siren design is; as a fan of creature/beast design you really blew it out of the water!
I love that one of the shots looks like Odysseus is introducing one of the other sirens as his "real wife". Amazing work!!, definitely gonna try and encorperate this description into my d&d game the next time my players deal with sirens
I know that everyone has been saying this but your siren design is incredible!!! And i also liked that you showed them capturing the other sirens, that was cool
Ty!
Honestly this is the coolest siren design I've ever seen!
THE SIREN DESIGN IS SO COOL OML, also love the water animation!
AYE YO why did you go SO hard with the siren design?! This is extraordinary!!! At first i thought this was incorporating Tears of the Kingdom but it was even better!
AAAAAA EPIC THE MUSICAL IS MY FAVVVVVVV
HOW??????????? ARE. YOU. THIS. TALENTED SHIFT???? it’s GORGEOUS 🤩
I KNOWWWW I LOVE EPIC SO MUCH!! Im so glad you like it :D
