I love the crazy scales in size Poseidon takes. It really makes him feel like a god rather than just a guy with ocean powers.

@@Krebozzi I wanted to make him change size and forms often because just like water he doesnt have a stable form and is always "running"

[@jasonhudson4966]

It’s a pet peeve of mine when other forms of media don’t let Olympians change their form or size. Blood of Olympus does this even though it’s a fresh and interesting take.

0:55 I love that Poseidon looks at the camera menacingly, almost as if aware of the viewer, and reminding them that he is a threat. “I can’t go letting you walk, or else the world forgets…” *Looks out past the camera with piercing, icy blue eyes* “I’m cold.” It’s like he’s reminding us, the world, that we should be afraid of him.

THIS IS SO COOL! I love how fluid Poseidon's form is- one minute he's a horse, the next he's huge and imposing, the next he's the size of a regular person who collapses into a wave. It's so perfect for the god of the ocean- something that's always changing. The memories of the people he loves at the end was so good too! Aaah this was incredible!

2:13 I'm obsessed with Ody putting his hands together to PRAY to Poseidon right there. Also the colors for this bit are so pretty 🥺

[@tizianotrasmondo6011]

Honestly, I think he was even apologizing to Poseidon out of despair and grief. Odysseus knew he got bold when he blinded Polyphemus and revealed his name as mockery and unlike "Ruthlessness" he's sincerely asking for Poseidon's mercy. Even Poseidon stares at him with a dull look saying "I can't (let go)". Don't know, it kinda sounds like even Poseidon has grown tired of this and acknowledged Odysseus' despair but really can't bring himself to let him walk away. What do you think, man?

[@kiratheusagiisworkshop5266]

Not gon a lie, out of all Poseidons during this song, yours feel like the biggest threat. He's angry, unpredictable and him flexing with his abilities just shows how big of a threat he really is! Those flashbacks at the end tho, couldn't help but to giggle as the crew tried to hold back their laughter at Ody playing around with the siren 😂❤

[@revanhart]

Yeah, like the way he kept drenching Odysseus and getting more aggravated as the song progressed, trying to FORCE him into the water (or just drown him on the damned raft) was just 😘👌!

There's a lot to love about this animatic, and I'm having a hard time picking an absolute favorite part, but I strongly agree. The moment is so unnerving, and it's the first animatic I've seen where Poseidon feels like this much of a threat with no hope whatsoever of Odysseus escaping alive.

"TW:Horror" And I said: Promise? I love when animators make the gods scary. The moment I saw the visual of Telemachus I knew this was something special. The nightmare horse form (the entire transformation really), how the sea and visually everything shakes at 0:08, the use of lighting on Poseidon's giant face at 0:40, the flash of an obscured face with realistic eyes at 0:54 that definitely feels inspired by modern internet horror, it all works great.

Polites’s headband when he talks about forgiving 😭

[@corahtheskeleton8062]

This is my favorite animatic of this song, we can see the different facettes of Poseidon and Odysseus here - Poseidon starts by being extremely intimidating to Odysseus, scaring him nearly half to death by his presence alone and the clear anger the literal God standing before him is showing - Then Poseidon relishes in the fear he installed in Odysseus, taunting him with how close this mortal is to reach his goal and finally end his perilious journey, he even delights himself in a way by announcing that he can't let him through, acting quite friendly in some kind of powerplay right before turning cold and commanding - When Poseidon realizes that his ordering of Odysseus to end his life didn't work, he resorts to threats against his family, his kingdom, his entire home and everything he's been wanting to come back to since the very beginning of his journey, Odysseus' fear only grows stronger since he knows very well that Poseidon can and most likely will do as he claims if he doesn't give up - Poseidon still doesn't manage to intimidate Odysseus and decides then to resort to describing in further detail how he'll torture his son and in a desperate attempt, Odysseus begs him for forgiveness and mercy, which of course never reaches Poseidon's ears. On top of the verbal violence increasing with each new verse, this animatic also shows Poseidon actively trying to drown Odysseus, breaking apart his raft until the mortal finally sinks down into the abyss of his kingdom, Poseidon's anger is also shown through how beastly he is compared to other animatics I've seen, he takes so many forms including those of creatures like horses which he also is the God of, but the angrier he gets, the darker his features become with bright contrasting turquoises adding accents where pupils, teeth, spines or even whole eyes should be. In short, this is now my favorite animatic, sorry for the poorly ponctuated and written essay, this is still a solid 10000/10 though

This is one of the coolest takes on "Get In The Water" I've seen yet! Your Poseidon ranks up there with the best of them- I love how you make it feel like he can't even CONTROL his shapeshifting due to his rage, and you're one of the few who truly conveys that when Ody asks "aren't you tired," YES, Poseidon is tired but he doesn't know any other way to be! I also love how you showed the "waiting" sequence with such a fond flashback with his crew. He might have given the survivors up, but it weighs on him greatly because he genuinely loved them like family. Well done! Wonderful job.
