They way Ody grabs and THROWS the siren, feels a lot more brutal than the arrow, I like it

[@peachyytown]

@shadowstrider8295 thank you!! I didn't wanna do the arrow because I wanted him to get up close and personal with the siren lmao I couldn't figure out how to do that if she was still in the water haha

ARGH! My heart fucking aches because of how sad Sirenelope looks when she dies, just as she's feebly extending her arm towards the point where the other sirens should be... like she didn't even care about herself but only wanted to save them till the very end 😢😢

[@sammieegoldwand]

​@@ItamarO93 true...

[@AgentRookie-i4s]

​​@@ItamarO93 Still, the Greeks didn't spared the Trojan civilians, and they sacked and conquered their city, meaning they eventually profited and "ate" upon all those deaths (and worse things). Odysseus himself made that possible and the crew definitely partecipated. Then why they should be empathized with but not the Sirens?

[@josephperez2004]

I honestly really like this design for the sirens. There is enough hint of feminine form to let you know they are all women, but they are also clearly monstrous and fully adapted to an aquatic environment and a carnivorous diet. They don't need to look human because their song can make their prey imagine them as whoever they desire most.

[@cami7436]

This sociopathic Odysseus makes me really excited for King.

[@meganmay5277]

[@Laralia]

For some reason after I had watched this masterpiece, I thought "Hmm..I wonder if Ody and crew had kept six of the sirens alive or kept their bodies there and then given the torches to them, would Scylla have eaten them? That way things could've ended differently. If they had just sacrificed the sirens to her?"

[@mmgei5649]

That’s something I was thinking about as well

[@shroudedclouded]

Scylla doesn’t eat other monsters

[@89taklung]

But would scylla have known? I mean the lair is dark, she blondly attacks the torches. Even if she realizes the mistake, they just needed to get to the other side and distract her long enough...

I disagree as eating humans is not the same as eating animals, and they wouldn't had spared their prey if they had pleaded for there lives. They were being treated the same way they treated their prey.

[@frankie1406]

There is something so special about the animatics that come from Epic because one you watch them, it forever changes how you listen to the song and this is definitely one of the most impactful I have ever watched. On its own, the song sounds brutal but I didn't really sympathise with the sirens until watching this and I have a whole new perspective

[@tahirihmaddela]

And yet! And yet. I still have to sit with myself after a while and remember that he's not slaughtering 'innocents' here. He's being merciless, but how many ships are floating empty from their entire crews being lured to drown and then devoured? So it feels slightly less one-sided to think that the men are just the victors here. THIS time.

[@loonelytoon6523]

​@@tahirihmaddelaTbf those ships must have been *infinitely* less than those that could have been filled with the casualties from the Trojan War. Otherwise, humans would have found more convenient going to war against the Sirens rather than each others.

[@laurasibob1106]

I love the way she transforms! I keep going back and forth on the frames, it's just so smooth! Also love the design of the sirens and the brutality Ody shows! As always, I love seeing new people's takes on the songs!

[@GabrielaMiller-o7n]

I like how this ends with the sirens songs slowly fading away only to be replaced by the men’s own voices

[@SK3TCH_CAT]

I honestly feel bad for the sirens,because they are just used to killing and eating the humans, it’s what they’ve always known and it’s not like they thought they were doing was wrong. And they were so scared and my heart just ached when one of the sirens hugged the other one 😭 poor baby’s :(

Damn that siren design and Art style. Slaps hard! Was worth all the hard work! and that small moment of worry from Eury is really foreshadowing, sneaky detail.

[@89taklung]

Couldn't he have taken 6 of them, and like tied them to something on the boat, put a torch to their side and let scylla eat them instead of his crew? Then their deaths would have had an additional purpose and, scylla probably doesn't care what she is eating and everyone... except for the sirens ofcourse, would have been happy.

[@Rachels_stuff]

I was wondering this too!! Of course Odysseus had a valid reason to be angry and kill the sirens to prevent future deaths, but I wonder if he could have fed 6 of those sirens instead to Scylla.

[@Heavenlyhounds96]

Having just come off from watching an animatic or two for "Monster", I feel like your art (of the animatics for "Different Beast" I've seen), REALLY captures what a Monster...or you could say, Different Beast, Odysseus became after his trip to the Underworld. Ruthless, uncaring, clever, confident, and superior. Someone who WILL enjoy the suffering and loss of any foe in his path. (Until that foe, is of course...his friends)

[@crofoegbu6535]

Technically, Apollo counts at least in the Epic universe. Luckily Athena took care of that for him in "God Games."

[@what_am_i_pan]

Ok, but considering that everyone sees sirens differently (siren song makes them hear/see what they most desire) that opening scene is probably confusing as heck for one of the crew members who just wants to see their dad/mom/family member. Like, your ultra loyal, will not so much as entertain flirting with another person after 12+ years away from his wife, is just… flirting and holding your dad so sensually???? Imagine if they didn’t know that about sirens and just saw that.

You know, It’s weird but I like how there’s the big buildup in the end, where we kinda expect Odysseus to turn and be completely covered in blood, but then it’s just around one cheekbone. Really puts in the feeling that it’s not the appearance that’s the monster, it’s him.
