Different Beast | EPIC the Musical Animatic

I was able to do this in 2 DAYS HOW.
I haven’t seen a full animatic for this song yet so I was happy to feed the people. 2/5 songs done. I am absolutely going to have arthritis after this saga.

I mean you say that but he's also killing the sirens in the most needlessly cruel way possible.

[@lightspotatochip]

I like that Odysseus tied a rope around the siren’s neck, all that pressure on her larynx keeps her from singing and seducing Odysseus and the men. Nice detail.

[@EdenVix]

I love the idea that he had a wedding ring as a necklace. That's why the siren assumed he had a wife and went based on that info and what Ody was saying, kinda just making shit up on the way in response to him. It makes more sense than her knowing about Penelope but somehow not knowing he doesn't have a daughter

"We are the ones who feast now." I love that line, so many of them have literally been eaten and now they are the monsters which will eat the ones hunting them down. When the prey becomes a predator. He learned the lessons that Athena and Poseidon were teaching him. He is ruthless now and there will be no mercy to anyone but himself. Love, love, love this, he just dosen't care about the lives of others now

[@nelphy235]

Most of the sailors also died from the hand of Zeus because they were hungry and decided to eat the sacred cows of Helios... So metaphorically and litteraly feasting led them to their doom. Peak hubris.

​@@CaptainPoseidon282 for once? Eury fcked him up with the wind bag, he saved the crews from Circe, immediately figured out the threats of the Siren, had them all prepared for the hunt, then even got information out of the Siren. He made one big ass mistake, but dismissing every other thing he's done right is a reach

[@CaptainPoseidon282]

@@slimetank394 I didn't say that he never does smart things, I said thet this time he was the SMARTEST as he's supose to be. He sees a blatant danger and dosen't let arrogance or pity make a fool of him, bbecause all cyclopses are sons of Poseidon except two which are his uncles yet he still mocked Polyphem expecting to get out with no concequences, the nobody trick was smart but mocking him makes him not the smartest (of all greeks). Now he is, the old Ody might have felt free from danger and just slaughtered the cows as a sacrifice to Apollo and Zeus.

[@lightspotatochip]

Odysseus wasnt playing around with that first siren- This is one of my fav epic animatics! Love the intensity, design, and facial expressions!

[@bridgerhibbert2993]

It just occurred to me: Odysseus probably could have fed the sirens he captured to Scylla instead of the six men, but it's possible his anger and ruthlessness made him blind to the possibility.

[@JabamiLain]

Which is ironic, because his sadism could have led him to that conclusion.

[@akamarimeili5704]

Why does everyone make Odysseus so fine😭 Seriously loved this though! It's amazing! I love how cold Odysseus is portrayed to be, really shows off why his men said 'he is a different beast' in the end instead of 'we are a different beast'

[@annablaze4577]

[@alyssafigliano3994]

Odysseus' expression at 1:49 is just so good! He's obviously sooo smug telling the siren all about his plan to trick her and how she played along perfectly. Way to become the monster, bud!

[@iliketea1427]

While I will always mourn the fact that Jay didn't use the accurate description of the sirens (although some animators do add feathers to their siren design for this song, which does makes me feel better) and instead used the mermaid version (I completely understand why he did it, but still), this is still a fantastic animatic!

[@Luthi3n3]

There isn't an "accurate" version! The Odyssey doesn't describe them as either birds or fish, and both versions exist in other myths

[@aizaluna5184]

​@@Luthi3n3 Actually we can say the accurate version is indeed the feathery version since that's how they were portrayed in ANCIENT GREEK art. In pottery, statues and stuff. The fish-like Sirens are versions from After Christ interpretations. So Odyssey's Sirens are 100% the bird woman, but Jay decided to go with the other interpretation for convinience. The only myth that portray Siren as half-fish is the myth after they lost to the Muses, who plumcked off their feathers and threw them at the sea, making them turn into half-fish, but even that is a strech since another ending is them drowning and becoming Islands. Both versions of the myths are nice, but I can understand people that are tired with the Greek Siren and World-Wide Mermaid mix-up 🫠

[@iliketea1427]

​@@Luthi3n3 no ANCIENT GREEK ARTWORK portrays them as part bird women NOT MERMAID LIKE. Also in what myth are they described as Mermaid like? Because in their biggest myths aka the Argonautica and the Odyssey they LIVED ON ROCKS not in the water (and also lured sailors with what they wanted most. ex: knowledge of the future). The mermaid version is a much more recent idea.

[@iliketea1427]

@@Luthi3n3 just please look up "ancient Greek artwork of a siren" preferably pottery art: and ye shall see the sirens were seen as more feathered than fish

Listening to Different beast without suffering right before has a goofy feeling to it

[@matetorok9880]

Such a great Ody design. The few strands of hair in his eyes really gives him that ragged vibe. And the expressions are amazing, really drive it home how none of them are particularly wanting to do this, but feel like they have to

[@ianyoder2537]

This is my favorite song from Thunder Bringer saga. And you delivered everything I wanted to see for this song. I'm a sucker for a good chorus, and when ever I heard "we are the man made monsters, we are the ones who concur" I always imagined this dark faceless mob with white dot eyes. I've just been waiting for someone to animate it. Yall artists are crazy the way you pump these out so fast, I give you my praise and condolences.

[@sergeysmirnov1062]

I find it interesting to see Odysseus change like this, at this point, not only is he ready to kill the sirens to get the job done but he goes the extra mile to not just _slay_ them but make sure their deaths are painful and drawn out.

[@VeggiePun]

King shit! I've only got the first 45 seconds on my own animatic so far!

[@AnonEMouse-ls7fp]

OUT-🤬-INGSTANDING I love seeing more Different Beasts animatics and I think yours has moved to the top of my favs. I adored your Ody using his chain to pull the Penelope Siren onto the ship and then explaining himself. That's a level of ruthlessness that's borders on villainous we've never seen from Ody and frankly, I'm here for it. I loved his expressions and attitude throughout too. You conveyed how he's not enjoying this yet is brutally resolved really well. Excellent job. Wonderful style. It's criminal I haven't seen your work before. You've just gained a new subscriber. Bravo

Oh wow, this is incredible. I really like how dark this is, to reflect the mood of Odysseus and his crew. When he was ordering kill them all, it does foreshadow the choice he'll have to make in ThunderBringer, and the flash to his eye, so hardened and lifeless, really hits hard. Kudos!

One part of this song that i feel goes the hardest in my headcannon is that when Odysseus is telling the crew to cut off their tails hes facing away from the net and just slightly turns his head back to them when he goes "let the drown" it goes soo hard and i had to share it, plus it makes sense as hes done with these obsticals and is ready to move on to the next problem... Scyla

[@mdoodles__]

ate it up🙌

[@Warlord-dc5un]

You truly see how he became far more ruthless with even his past self most certainly see himself as a monster now. Before he spared the cyclops that killed his men, but here despite the fact the sirens gave him information and how none of his men were harmed still he didn't spare them. He is forever damaged from his last experience and the torment from being unable to get back to his loved ones, he made a vow to become a monster if it means finally being reunited with his wife.

[@WolfAngel2264]

I love all the symbolism, it's not that he's just killing to save his men. Its how he's killing. Cutting off their tails and then throwing them in to drown- Odysseus has truly become a "different beast" He's embraced being the monster

If he was going to kill the sirens anyway, why couldn’t he have saved them for Scylla. Mount the bodies on spears with torches so they appear standing and let Scylla take her pick. Or if they needed food, save the fish part of the siren and have so f’ing Sushi.
