[@MrChessboxing]

@erikvale3194 The musical is coming out in 3- to 5-song chunks called "Sagas". On Valentine's Day the Circe Saga came out, which included this song. Before then, we only had a clip of this song while it was in progress, which other people have made animations of. This is the first animation I saw of the final version of Done For but I'm sure other people might have gotten to it faster. Right now 4 of 9 sagas are out.

[@OpMegs]

On the humorous side, Circe's expression as Odysseus has his sword at her throat is very "well, this isn't how I saw that going". On the serious end, I rather like the one to two frame look of pure venom she shoots him at the end before transitioning to "Other Means". I'm not sure if she's reading "I'm not sure I follow" as basically making her *say* it out loud that she's giving her body to him and annoyed that he's rubbing it in, or if it's just a moment of getting her seduction face on to be appealing. Also, I know you said you hated it, but I actually really like the option of the Cyclops holding the Chimera down for Odysseus to slit its throat. That was a really creative way of keeping him involved in the fight rather than being a Pokemon trainer. On the flashback sequence, I notice that there's four nymphs present, but three in the present, but Circe has the same fins under her hair and black eyes in the mirror. Was the implication intended to be that Circe was the 4th nymph and basically let them take her then (like she offers to Odysseus now, and showing the same bracelet at her wrist) to protect the others, or that one was actually taken away by the previous case?

[@anniflamma1496]

Aaaah!! Thank you 😭 So, about the nymphs, there was a 4th one that Circe couldn't protect. And that's why Circe have the same bracelet, it was the missing nymph's.

[@VintKnight]

Oh I absolutely love this, love the little nymph that runs to Circe, Circe in the little robe, I also love Circe's little transformation she does, it looks really cool, the fact there's not really a mouth at all and it's all like a dark void, of course Odysseus being a little shit with the flower, I also love that before the fight starts Circe glances back to the nymphs, oh and of course, the cyclops and chimera fight, bet that was a pain the ass to do, but I actually quite like it, then the "you lost", also love the short flashback of the nymphs, you can really feel the pain of that event and why Circe is so distrusting of anyone new coming to her island, now one thing I didn't except is to her to strip, also Odysseus just being "I'm not sure I follow" is so funny to me for some reason, great animatic, excited for whatever you have in store for the future!

[@LordVandor1]

I love every part of it, but as a HEMA nerd a part I liked is the fight: Circe's been practicing magic for years and she manages to conjure up a chimera, a non-existing animal she engineered herself. While Ody is not a practitioner of magic, but he's seen the cyclops with his own eyes so he's able to replicate it perfectly. I see this as a fight of theory vs practice. Also his experience as a warrior is clear, since he doesn't rely on the cyclops alone to win, but he makes it pin the chimera down so he can strike. Of course Circe didn't expect that and it shows. Also as others have said: Circe being part nymph and taller than Ody, him having Athena's bracelet, other nymphs doing stuff in the background... Astonishingly well done. Anni, you're very good at drawing but above all you are an excellent scene writer. I hope one day I can hire you for my projects (videogames with animated scenes)

[@halfknight2310]

wow, great observation. I like it. also, it shows the flaws of most magic users. relying only on spells and summons but not being strong enough to handle actual combat.

[@jotsch2635]

Your powered up Circe design made me fucking gasp out loud:D this is so good. THIS IS SO GOOD!! I love the way you portrayed Circe as immediately sympathetic by showing the people she’s protecting and Odysseus as a threatening intruder. It fits incredibly well and I haven’t seen it in any animatics before. Typically Circe is lofty and detached, a dangerous sorceress at the nexus of her power, a threat to be overcome by the lone traveller coming in from below. This is fantastic. Time to rewatch it a hundred times, and in slow motion to notice all the epic (hah) details! (I have watched your Ruthlessness animatic a truly embarrassing amount of times btw. It’s what got me into this fandom in the first place, and I am eternally grateful.)

I LOOOOOVE your details on Circe. Her eyes are glowing because of her dad, Helios, Sun God, & her ears are webbed because of her mom, Perse, ocean nymph. That was such a cool detail. The fluidity of her transformation into her bigger persona was stunning. Great animatic.

[@miniscones1062]

I love how we first see Odysseus from the POV of the younger nymph in the beginning, emphasizing how intimidating he is to them. Even as he tries to be disarming, his expression is darkened by the shadows. And then in the end how Circe's expression and demeanor shifts from defensive to seductive as she changes tactics. Great work like always!

[@sagaciouscube1087]

I'm sorry but the faces Circe makes on the last scene is amazing, you just see her coming to the conclusion she's going to have to do something she DESPISES doing. But then it's wiped away a moment later turning flirty. Just * *chefs kiss* * perfect character expressions you drew. It's my favorite like two seconds of the entire video. (Which is all good btw just that small scene stuck with me)

[@ChildOfCosmos]

Omg, YES! She almost looked disgusted at herself for what she was about to do. Many people depict Circe as flirty from the get-to-go, and while she is a very sexual being, another trait of her that is hardly explored is her loneliness and bitterness.

[@plumedargent3359]

I love Circe’s black eyes in the mirror, then her eyes when she turns to face Odysseus (and us) being gold and that little bit of color in this animatic (as well as the Chimera’s eyes also being yellow/gold), her transformation and the form she takes, the chimera and the battle, and all the other little details here and there.

One thing I only realized just now is that in the present we only actually see 3 nymphs. However in the flashback to when they faced a heavy loss we see four nymphs, the same 3 as before but now with another one that seems to be a sort of mother figure to the others(mostly just off of appearance at least). Notably the 4th nymph has a bracelet around her wrist, and in the shot where someone grabs someone's arm we see that bracelet again. I don't know what specifically happened or if there's a basis to what happened in the original material but that is just a wonderful bit of subtle storytelling and also deeply sad considering something really bad had to have happened to lose one of the nymphs.

I absolutely love Circe's transformation at the beginning. your animations itches my brain just right.

[@meiraya454]

I love the detail that the creature that was summoned is a chimera because its a powerful hybrid FEMALE creature. Since Circe hates men and is somewhat a feminist, the chimera represents her perfectly. Also in the Circe Saga you can see that the album cover has a chimera on it.

I do appreciate the lyric progression. "I *would* take the suffering from you", "I *could* take the suffering from you", "I *will* take the suffering from you". Gets progressively more pushy

I read up a bit on her and it seems in one version or maybe all for all i know is that she had three kids with him, so much for him being faithful.
