Yesss! That’s exactly how I meant it! I can’t imagine him being mad at Athena, especially after he pleaded with Poseidon “It’s been 12 years - we’re both hurting from losses - maybe you can learn to forgive”. You could make the argument that his transformation in 600 strike is all-encompassing, but I choose to not believe that looking how gentle he still is with Telemachus and Penelope. There’s still some gentleness in him. At the very least Athena bailed Telemachus out several times so he must respect that.

@@teddywojtek I feel the same. Though when it comes to him pleading with Poseidon to learn to forgive I do also feel as though it is at least half Odysseus attempting to trick Poseidon. Odysseus by that point has begun to believe that Poseidon and Athena were right, that mercy is ruthlessness on oneself. Some part of him still clearly hopes it could all end peacefully, but I wonder if things had gone differently and Poseidon had accepted mercy in the final hour whether Odysseus would have it in him to accept it by that point. That maybe he would have taken advantage of that mercy and enacted ruthlessness if only to prove to himself that what happened to him wasn't his own fault, but rather just the way of the world. That mercy would always be met with misery.

Ooooh, I love that theory! I always felt he is so desperate to go home that even though he has mostly stopped believing in mercy he still tries it, because what is he gonna do against a god who drowned most of his fleet? At that point he did not stand a chance, so it was more desperation speaking and Poseidon still refusing as Odysseus was at his lowest most humble point is part of what drove him over the final edge

@ Gods, I love this story so much for reasons like this. Epic's telling of it is so filled with emotion, poetry, and symbolism that despite talking about the same minutes long song it is so easy to draw this breadth of understanding and empathy for the characters involved. For as much as you can draw about where Odysseus was in that song emotionally, you can draw almost as much from Poseidon or Athena as well. Truly a masterpiece. 🥰

Thanks for the comment! <3 I’m not really going off the EPIC canon interpretation with my designs. Have you ever seen the series Blood of Zeus? I’m more inspired by that. Gods can also shape-shift in my canon so be prepared :D

@@teddywojtek yeah, because in Percy Jackson the gods appear 20 ft tall in their thrones, but appear as normal humans when speaking one on one, but I feel like the gods would be excessively taller then the mortals, so good detail!

Hahaha thanks! That’s some valid feedback but I’m not sure I have the patience to implement it 😆 I have tried in the past and it ends up looking messy, so south park it is

I have genuinely no idea who that is, but I will take it as a compliment :D

Hes from mouthwashing

Hahahaha omgg that’s so true, I can’t unsee it either now 😆

Very good summary! That’s exactly what happened and it has nothing to do with the fact that people look at the top of the screen first 😅

Hahahaha such a fair point! 😆 I have several explanations here: - I am of the mindset that children usually grow to be taller than their parents (plus I am also in the tall Penelope gang, plus divine lineage) - Odysseus is known for his wit for a reason ;) - I wanted Telemachus to be almost like a lanky late-teenager - aggressively an adult, but still kinda babyfaced. But let’s be real, he might be Odysseus’ boy and sweetest joy he’s known, but that is a full adult man at 20 years old

There's a joke among the cast that Jorge, who voices Odysseus, is the shortest male member of the cast, so the animators make him short as a reference to that joke. That's why he's shorter than Polites, Eurylochus, Tiresias, etc.

In the actual Odyssey, Odysseus is quite short.

@@foolslayer9416 Wow, we got the artist's whole list of reasons, a joke aimed at Jorge, and to cap it all off, lore accuracy!

Yeah, if I remember right, OG Odysseus was described as being slightly shorter than average, but with broad, strong shoulders (which makes sense for an archer! 🏹)

Awwwh thank youuu! I mean Tele has just witnessed this man go on a murderous rampage, I’d be at least a little wary of his intentions at first.

Thank youuu!! Finally my fellow tall girls get representation!

Thank you so much! I know it's been years but I do have a Hurricane animatic in the works. Now I feel like actually finishing it :D

@@teddywojtek I'll be waiting for it 💖

I hope you mean that in a good way :D

@@teddywojtek I do

@@teddywojtek I usualy laugh at the worst jokes now all i laugh at is excelent animatics like this

@@teddywojtek Mainly because the funny scenes and the ones that dont realy mean to be funny but are

Of course! The workshop version is the show before it went on Broadway. It has some differences such as songs that were cut from the Broadway version and some different lyrics. This song is mostly the same though, I only used it so it wouldn't get taken down back when yourube was really strict about copyright.

@@teddywojtek Oh, Thank you! i really appreciate it! <3

Thank you! I actually brainstormed different ideas for it. I wanted to do something a little different than everyone else, but for it to still have an emotional impact.

Thank you! I imagined that Burr is kind of obsessed with what Hamilton is doing and secretly follows him around. And Hamilton is so excited to talk about his ideas that he is amused by this realization, but doesn't really care.

Thank you, but don't think like that. I understand that other people's art can be intimidating (I get depressed whenever I visit instagram :D), but comparing yourself to others leads nowhere. If you just start somewhere, you'll soon get to a level where other people look at your art the same way as well (they probably already do, we are our own worst critics). I'd love to see your animatics and honestly, it's one of the best ways to practice. If it makes you feel better, I go to an art college and have had a lot of drawing and anatomy lessons. But looking at my old animatics, even this one, I feel like there are so many things I'd fix. Shading, anatomy, symmetry... Sorry for the rant. Please don't ever let others discourage you :)

Tysm I am nearly crying here🥺🥺 you are talented and so kind
