I also like how telemachus’ face is blurred out because Odysseus hasn’t seen him and doesn’t know what his son looks like :’)

[@Victoria-_]

Broke my heart-

[@canyounot4706]

Where is telemachus here? The haunting man is Odusseus. He's a different man because the journey has changed him, made him haunting

[@Pinfypo]

@@canyounot4706 2:01

[@canyounot4706]

​@@Pinfypooh! I thought that was polites. Thankyou

[@InfernalBanana]

Why is Telemachus the person for “a brother’s final stand” though? That’s the only thing I don’t understand from the scenes used in the prophecy.

[@SIMPLY_GJ]

AGHHHHH!! THE WAY THE FIRST VERSE IS WHAT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED AND THE SECOND VERSE BEING WHAT'S COMING IN THE FUTURE 😭✨️✨️

[@sarahcanas6344]

IT WAS SO AMAZING I HAVE LITERALLY BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO HAVE THAT INTERPRETATION FOR A BIT NOW😭🥹

[@brianmog]

While I understand that portrayal, I think it's just in the way of a general description of what's happening in your future, and in the Odyssey itself his whole prophecy ends with "and it shall happen exactly as I fortell"

[@SIMPLY_GJ]

@@brianmog YEAH YEAH ✨️

[@raeofsunshine8377]

it also works because of the line "i see past and future running free". everyone assumes that the "song of past romance" is penelope, therefore tying it in, but it really could be referring to either past or future. incredibly clever, tbh.

[@Lemon-dt4is]

I have a different view of this! I think it's far less linear! Past romance could easily refer to either Penelope or in a way, Circe. Sacrifice of man where Poseidon destroyed them. Or even the trojan war. They sacrificed their humanity in the war. Portrayals of betrayal has yet to happen. Time and time again, Eurolychus has questioned him. Yes, they opened the bag, but is that truly a betrayal? No. What is a betrayal is a mutiny that leads to a final stand. With Eurolychus who is like a brother to him. I don't know the story of the Oddysesy. But I can see that final stand ending in Eurolychus about to beat Odysseus because Odysseus won't fight back. That final breath- that's where he changes. Where he chooses between his brother and his wife. He is no longer the man who left Itchia when he makes it back. Taking Euroyluchus' life changed him. It pushed him far past monster. Instead, it made him a man who is hunting. Someone who has seen so much death and killed so much he doesn't know how to do anything else anymore.

[@dinodude722]

this is probably my favorite 'no longer you' animatic of what i've seen, if only because of switching the imagery for the chorus and playing with the different meanings of each line.

[@OrcaBerry]

Sameeee

[@Victoria-_]

Same!!

[@gabrielkamenrider1205]

I also agree

[@sonofthekingsman]

I never thought of "a brother's final stand" as Polites... That made me actually burst into tears.

[@tumblingartist]

IKR!! the first verse being Polites (the past) and the second being Eurylocus (the future)???? :0 !!

[@RoshieFlower77]

I don’t know why I thought it was Hector or Paris

[@natashachoquich2879]

I always thought it might be his dog Argos... oh that would hurt

[@andrewnyirenda2364]

Odyssey: WHO?! Prophet: You, man, geez. Chill before I tell Athena to come get her owl

[@Diamond1234]

That'd actually be hilarious, prophet just spits it out, no confusion "nah man that you lol", good stuff. XD

[@RoshieFlower77]

No wonder Odysseus and Athena get along so well

[@RoshieFlower77]

@@Diamond1234Can you imagine? Like Odysseus is just having a panic attack like “O my gosh we’re gonna die” and the Prophet’s just “My bad g, yur actually gonna live. I’m just messin.” And Odysseus is like “You flipping idiot.”😂😂😂

[@duckington_IV]

"WHO?! (Odysseus asked calmly) (insert owl emoji) " stop I love that 😆

[@dorymarshall5477]

🦉🦉🦉

[@codenate02]

Athena taught him well in the ways of being an angry owl

[@clairebenike5371]

I really like how the first chorus was "the past" and the 2nd being "the future". The interpretations were so good.

[@jasonpower6578]

Odysseus after killing suitors: It seems I was that haunting man…

[@Jordan-ms7zi]

what i was thinking

[@alilith3476]

😭😭😭😭

[@krzysztofdabrowski9399]

I... Think that by the culture's standard it was completely justified..?

[@alakazamlover4908]

@@krzysztofdabrowski9399 in one video i saw, Athena had to convince the nobles to not be mad be mad at Ody soooo

[@hppityhp4106]

In other words, he was the monster rawr rawr rawr

[@whathappenswhenimbored]

1:46 "WHO?! (Odysseus asked, calmly)" That made me chuckle

[@eririel]

the set of events that were mentioned in the lyrics eventually leading up to the reveal in this animatic that the man the prophet was pertaining to as the "man who is haunting a man with a trail of bodies" who he saw with Odysseus' wife, is actually just Odysseus, just in a later time wherein he eventually accepted his fate as the monster is SO damn good

[@jurassicfreak2579]

This is probably my favourite interpretation of what Tiresias sees. Both past and future

[@kwefe]

I love the fact that when the Prophet says " I See The Sacrifice Of Man" It shows Scylla killing the 6 men that Odysseus had light torches which is actually mentioned in the Thunder Saga

[@Yukiba]

Ugh I LOVE how different the imagery is for the chorus because technically, MANY of the things Ody has been through could count for EACH one of those. The fact that you didn't use the same imagery each time is a SMART CHOICE. Using Hector's son made me audibly gasp and I love when creators push the boundaries. Good job!

[@froggyvibes3020]

I’m in love with the scene where “No longer you” and then it shows the figure being a disheveled odyssey who kinda going crazy

[@mylonelyself]

I love how the first time the prophet is saying the chorus, it portrays the past. After the first chorus ends, he then begins to speak on the future of what is to happen. Also, I think the bass with the choir in the background accurately depicts the feeling of anxiety and realization that Odysseus will never be the man he was before, Brilliant artwork and great storytelling!

[@sofialu226]

OH!!! I really liked what you did showing the Past in the First part and the Future in the second part!!

[@RoshieFlower77]

“WHO” (Odysseus said calmly)(insert owl emoji) O my gosh i luv this animation so much

[@cordyceps182]

As the other commenters have stated, the usage of different events to represent the first and second repeats of his prophecy is quite clever. I also really like how threatening the "mysterious man" is. Well done!

[@neocounttarrant]

This is fabulous! Absolutely loved the switch from past to future when the prophecy repeats, and what you chose to associate to each line (the shot of Astyanax on the 'sacrifice of man' line made me gasp out loud!) Edit: Also that reveal of Odysseus's face at the end is just so perfectly timed on the drumbeat

[@InfernalBanana]

Not just that, but it being I believe Polites in the first depiction of “a brother’s final stand” as he’s killed by Polyphemus.

[@Liv-wm4hd]

I LOVED THIS AAAAH i love seeing the past then the future in the prophet's tellings then the ANGER when he yells 'WHO?' so goooood T^T

[@imadeanaccount2638]

The beginning struck me in an unexpected way. Brilliant! I’ve never seen anyone associate the lyrics with those events!

[@larade555]

The reveal at the end that the man who "is no longer you" is indeed Odysseus but "Monster" style was chef kiss

[@smileynerd256]

Ooohhh, yesssss, this is so cool! I LOVE the reveal at the climax of the "Man who is Haunting" being Odysseus! Aaaaahhhhh, this is fantastic!

[@user-kc5hz4gk9l]

Oh, I adore the way he doesn't understand he's the man with a trail of bodies behind him. Like... Weren't you listening at all?

[@JabamiLain]

Tiresias tried to make it as clear as possible, and he still didn't get it.

[@user-kc5hz4gk9l]

@@JabamiLain He's not letting the man be at least tiny bit vague, no fun with him

[@JabamiLain]

@@user-kc5hz4gk9l in Odysseus' defense, it's been years at sea. Though, I have to agree a bit, since I like to believe the reason prophecies are vague, is because you can choose how they come true, differently influencing the world in the proccess, depending on the path you take.

FIRST FULL ANIMATIC??? You could've fooled me XD I love so many part of this--the art style, the way the dark, blurred figure is revealed to be Odysseus, the way Telemachus' face is blurred...I think my favorite part is (no surprise; everyone's saying it XD) the way the chorus shows the past the first time around, and the future the second time. Bravo!!

[@slaveknightkos8498]

what i love about this animatic over others is that it shows that there multiple instances of the described events

[@PunkyardDog]

I was waiting for someone to show the infant during "sacrifice of man" 😭♥️

[@wiremuwiniata1216]

Gotta give you props my friend! When I first heard the song my exact thoughts were that the prophet could be referring to past events in the first chorus and then prophesying of the future in the last chorus. You absolutely nailed it! Well done!

[@hayhay_the_chicken_5117]

I hadnt realized what he had ment when he was talking about what he had seen before. Like when he talks about a brothers final stand he is talking about polites. THAT IS SO FREAKING COOL!

[@artistichikinnnn]

THE DIFFERENT INTERPRETATIONS OF THE LYRICS HIT SO HARD, ABSOLUTE PROPS TO YOU !!!!!!!

[@NEWDOG-kf3rk]

This definitely the best animatic I've seen for "No Longer You" and I loved the visions.

[@amefuyuu4983]

Omg Krieo this is so amazing!!! I adore how emotive you make ody!! (Also the polities part 😭) also your interpretation of the suitors section is sooooo good (that transition!!!) thank you so much for making this!!!! 💕

[@MultiMadness_]

THIS IS SO COOL!!!!!!!!!! I love how you use the past for the first prediction and the future for the second one also love how the second romance is Calypso while the first is Peneply ALSO THE WIND BAG AAAAHHHHHHHHH

[@orion5914]

I love, love, LOVE that you did flashbacks during the prophet's first chorus and then flashes of the future in the second one, reiterating that the prophet has seen both the past and the future. That is so good!

[@opatto5326]

Holy shit dude I absolutely love this animatic. The second verse being what will happen in the future is fucking genius. I praise thee for such an animatic

[@Omega_WoIf]

I love how for the first time the chorus comes up, you show things that has happened prior to Ody coming the Tiresias (I think I spelled that right) while the second time is stuff that are going to happen after Ody leaves the Underworld. Love it!

[@tonberry7744]

Literally telling him to get home, he's going to became a monster

[@Jbaites-u5z]

0:48 this killed me 😭 but I love the different choruses and it gave me a new way of interpreting this song. I also love the design of the prophet and Odysseus! My applause 👏🏻

[@mafazbas6429]

The second verse blew my mind! And got the chills with the revel of odysseus to be the man with the trail of bodys 😭💔 Best animation I’ve seen for “no longer you” XD A new fan from KSA 💚

[@Skeepers_]

This is INSANELY UNDERRATED!!! AAAAAH!!!

[@maximilianogarcia2042]

I love this so much!! No offense to the other animatics but this is probably the best one I’ve seen for this song

[@MonstaMash-vz4xi]

Your animatic made me realize that the prophet’s lyrics aren’t just foreshadowing Odysseus’s literal death, but his metaphorical one as well. Every emotional beat of the song is enhanced further by your wonderful illustrations, which are timed perfectly. In other words: damn, this hits hard!

[@TIME-fe6ne]

For some reason I really like the idea of Tiresias having a young man apperance. And he looks so cool in your style I loved his hair 😭😭Also, Polites and Telemachus... Why you must hurt me this way 😔 (plz do it again xD)

[@levelynn3853]

One thing I really enjoy about this is that Tiresias shows the past as well as the future, works as a call back to the first verse and helps to prove to Odysseus that he truly is the prophet, for how else would he know these things

[@Alice-fd4ln]

oh, Oh, OH! That final you, the reveal, OH, ugh, that was good. So good. Thats my new personal canon now, UGH, amazing???? (Also the subtitles???? A gem. Watch it with subtitles, y'all. ESSENTIAL)

[@TerraDoctor]

Great call on making the "other man" a blurred, mysterious (and creepy!) figure! Even though I had heard the song before, the imagery made me question the narrative anew; the character's pain at learning of his wife being with another man was conveyed even more impactfully thanks to that!

[@nameless6159]

This one, this one right here is my favorite of all the animatics for this song, I love this

[@Animefan24]

The transition from past, present, and future well done ❤

[@Faith276]

[@ChupacabraRex]

This is REALLY cool, I like how you switched up all of the imagery changes, with the first verse being the past and the second being the future, t made it a lot more intersting, and I like all of the desings for all the characters, I love it.

[@DanaBanana94]

Wow, this is absolutely awesome. Thank you for sharing your lovely work!! All these animatics for this song are complete bangers

[@heishi_keki]

OOOOohhh! That reveal shot at the end was sick! Awesome work!

[@johnmartin4119]

Odysseus: who could this mysterious monster in Ithaca be? Tiresias: Holy Hera, dude it’s you, you’re the monster, you even sang a song about it on your way here. Gods you dumb heroes not getting obvious metaphors! If you want to avoid this fate just try not to do something stupid or arrogant that causes you to be this monster and you should be fine. Odysseus: Why do you speak in riddles, just tell me my future

[@InfernalBanana]

I love this version of the animatic because it helps show both how prophesy is always up for interpretation and that it’s never completely clear what it’s about, and that the future echoing the past, having similar events that line up with the prophesy, shows Odysseus following the adage “those who never learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”

[@DrewFilms05]

SPOILERS FOR THE THUNDER SAGA. If you haven't listened to it yet, do not click "Read more" So now we know that most of what Tiresias said refers to what happens in the thunder saga. "Song of past romance" refers to the siren pretending to be Penelope in "Suffering." "Sacrifice of man," as this artist already predicted, referred to the men eaten by Scylla. "Portrayals of betrayal and a brother's final stand," of course, refers to Eurylochus' mutiny. Then at the very end of the Thunder saga, Odysseus is left "on the brink of death" but still alive after choosing to sacrifice the rest of his crew to Zeus. The "final breath" bit honestly still confuses me since Odysseus doesn't die, at least not in the Odyssey. And of course the stuff about making it home alive and the palace covered in red are events we'll see in the Ithaca saga

[@justClaya]

SBCBWHHDIWODUWI- THIS IS MY FAVORITE NO LONGER YOU ANIMATIC WHAAAT?!? THE IMAGERY IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[@KatarHero72]

This might be my favorite animatic version, because of the dichotomy between past and future and the way you sold the WHO (Odysseus said calmly)

[@clyzm9335]

This is AMAZING!!! ❤❤😊✨ ✨ I hope you make even more then this and scylla :DDDDD

[@scruffsgoosey]

by far one of my favorite songs

[@Azurys06]

This is so good?? I absolutely love the colors and the scenes, and the way you draw Tyresias is so cool! :D absolutely amazing job!

[@Zarsla]

Finally someone who did it where the first verse is the past and second is the future. I recommend it in the discord and this is just "chef's kiss* it's sooo good. Really fits especially since he tells about the suitors in the middle, gives a nice uneven seeing time vibe.

[@EDA4EVERRR]

That " WHO" was personal. I LOVE IT.

[@MayaAsensio]

i love the animatic the colors are awesome when they change

[@munkeybrayn8696]

Bro i love it that you actually put both the past and future in the prophecy. Like each of those beats happen once already and again in the future. Since he sees past and future running free.

[@esteicy98]

This was amazing!!! Your art style is so pretty, I love it, really pleasant to look at. I liked so much how you changed the images between both versions of the chorus, the first to show past events and the second to show future events, it really plays with the "I see past and future running free" line. You really are able to show so much emotion on Odysseus's expressions, it's a great job! Thank you for doing this and sharing it with us ❤

[@dibssfd]

THIS IS SO COOLLLLL!!!!! I WAS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DO A VERSE OF THE PAST AND A VERSE OF THE FUTURE AHHHHHHH!!!! AND THE SHADOW REVEALING THAT ITS ODYSSEUS GOSH I LOVEEEEEEE

[@theflotingheadproduc]

AAaahhhh!!!! This was awesome!

[@Steff_Steffs]

This is incredibly good! I immediately watched it a second time to catch all the details. I love how you showed both past and future

[@ravenclawfairy3648]

This video is so gorgeous! ❤️ You captured the emotions of both characters so well! The visions of the past events and the future ones were drawn very well! ❤️

[@eternaleclypse]

I think this is my favorite of the animatics for No Longer You if only for one part. This one captures the ending perfectly with the hair covering Odysseus's eye. Which reminds me of the cyclops while hearing "Polyphemus" being sung in the background. Makes for a sweet transition into Monster.

[@RoseateXX]

Omg I'm IN LOVE with your artstyle! Definitely a new favorite animator, thank you for making this!

[@midnightmoon7257]

Oooo I like how you handled the chorus lines, showing both the past line up then what's to come, very clever, and it all looks amazingg

[@Shuki561]

I love it it's amazing the animation, the music, I'm inlove

[@lost2439]

Ok so first, love your design of the prophet!! Second, the way you changed the choruses between the past and what is still to coming? Amazing. Finally, the sweep back of the darkness at the end to reveal future Odysseus?? [chef's kiss]!!

[@ogaoms8985]

The ending was epic, pun intended

[@k.s.a9597]

Ok but the first "I see a song of past romance..." being events from act one and before while the second version are the future events of the musical is so genius and lines up with Tiresias as quoted by Jorge "Sees all of time, all the time"

[@ShyyGaladriel]

Oh my gosh!!!!!! I love showing Ody all blurry and I love changing out the images in the chorus!!!

[@potatolikessharks]

Your art style is so pretty :0 anyway, as a lot if people already said, this is a really good interpretation of this song. Also, I love how the scribbles come off of Odysseus and the transitions. They're so smooth! :D

[@kingramon437]

1:50 I like how the "WHO" frame is in red foreshadowing the later reveal not to mention how his anger in this moment (at the idea of losing his wife to a bad or lesser man) is most likely the same anger that posseses him when massacaring the (relatively) unarmed suitours. This is a bit more of a stretch but I imagine that anger subtly lays in his sacrafice to Scyla aswell, just utterly thinking of everyone else and their goals as lesser to his, most likely a trauma response due to sacrafices he has already made for a mission he thinks is only to his own benefit at the expense of his men (although I am sure they would also like to get home just as much as he does, Odessyuys just sees that as less important than him returning,) so every death is in sacrafice to his return such as those who died as the giant slowly succumed to the lotus wine, simply buyers of time and sellers of life. All born from this anger towards even the idea of failing to return home, mixed with the sunk cost fallacy the tragedies unavoiadable, and sacrafices neccesary, has taken upon him.

[@kingramon437]

also 2:00-2:05 looks like lighting on top the screen with the scribbles kinda looking like clouds which may be a reach but it reminds me of "Thunder Bringer" especially considering he was saying he sees him on the brink of death when it happens. Which he very much was when Zues approached him and made him choose.

[@calx.lavender767]

Omg this absolutely ate?!? You did so well I love this

[@Shplat]

Not the ensemble in the background singing about all the trials ahead during the second verse of "i see you on the brink of death..."!!! "Siren song" "sylla's throat" "Mutiny" "lightening bolt" "posiden" God Jay is an actual musical genius!!
