​@@lizzmalainey1316Epic's sirens can shapeshift and feed on memories if you hear their song correctly. Since Odysseus points out in Different Beast he and the crew blocked their ears with wax, the siren pretending to be Penelope saw his memories incorrectly and ended up making a few mistakes

[@ilyte1]

1. This version of the siren has the most rizz 2. She's one of the only versions of this song where she keeps her composure and just lays on the rizz thicker as the song goes on. Not that she didn't start out strong. 3. One of the only versions of this song where Odysseus is low-key scary before the cutaway to the next song. When he says, "You should come onto the ship," it's a subtle reminder that he's just as much of a danger as she is right now

[@AltriaQueenOfMoths]

I love the parallels here! They're both clearly monsters, pretending to be harmless and manipulating the other. Not!Penelope realizing around the end that _SHE_ might be the one in trouble, and Odysseus is just cold and unbothered the entire time. Like, _THE ARM GRAB._ When she grabs him he just casually brushes her off, but when HE grabs her it clearly scares and confuses her. It's obvious by the end which of them is really dangerous. He's in complete control of the situation and he knows it. Also the *DEATH GLARE* he gives her when she mentions a daughter he doesn't have. He's all like, "Lady, if you're going to pretend to be my wife, *_do a better job._* " *Absolute cinema.*

FRRRRR THE LOOK IN HER EYES

[@Beeschurgers]

actually the first animatic ive seen where odysseus looks threatening towards her easy 10/10

[@allurbase1000]

I love how aggressively (in many different ways) flirty these two look, and how neither of them seem to be completely buying it from the other. You can almost see the gears turning for both of them as they try and figure the other one out while also keeping up the pretense of being madly in love.

[@ConceptOfCreat10n]

One thing I noticed here is how much Odysseus and Sironelope just dance around each other. There are so many parts where Sironelope ups up her charm or where Odysseus backs away to toy with her. The two are actively threatening each other throughout this entire song, dancing around one another, waiting for one to eventually slip up. This is also shown very clearly whenever Sironelope gets up close and personal with Odysseus, nearly climbing into the boat. In the beginning, she just does it to tauntingly kiss him, but then he pulls away. She uses her fingers to send shivers down his spine, but he doesn’t give in. Later on when she gets super pissed off that Ody isn’t giving into her song, she begins transforming back into her siren form due to prolonged shapeshifting probably. She gets super close to Odysseus in hopes of at least getting a bite in or being threatening since she now knows something’s going on, but Odysseus, foreshadowing the literal next song, leers over her like a monster. Something bigger, more dangerous than her. After this, they no longer dance around the other since Odysseus has very clearly established his uncanny dominance. Sironelope goes in for one last look, swimming up to the boat, but then Odysseus reels her in by the arm with literally only one hand and goes “You should come onto the ship,” He’s actively threatening or even warning her. To show he isn’t bluffing, her even holds on for a little bit longer than necessary, his grip tightening. Sironelope struggles against his grip. By the end, Sironelope isn’t smiling because she’s finally got Odysseus. She’s smiling due to relief, knowing she was able to get away with hardly a scratch. This human, this wild, beast,y creature, has her cornered. She is the prey and he is the predator, and Sironelope is just happy she didn’t become his meal. This huge comment shows why I adore this animation so much. There’s power demonstrated here. Two animals fighting for what they want, two creatures testing the waters, two monsters trying to show who’s stronger than the other. It’s such a unique vision compared to the simple “Odysseus tries to not die to a siren version of his wife lol” which isn’t a bad take. This one is just more creative and unique. I love it so so much!! So sorry again for such a long comment, I just had so much to say.

I love how you can see both of their increasing frustrations and letting their masks slip yet they do their best to keep on those sickly sweet smiles while trying to contain their mürder with just their eyes, it's such great characterization having them both double down, odyseus acting like a charming yet somehow anxious brute and the siren a playfully impatient yet still allusive tease, both want it THEIR way, on the ship or in the water and that's just glorious how you have her shrink away and try to play it off back on her little rock right after he had a grip over her arm trying to pull her onto the deck of the ship.

I'll be honest this is one of my favorite Suffering animatics! I love how unbothered Ody is in the first half before becoming so menacing in forshadowing to Different Beast. And its sort of the opposite with siren!Pen, where in the beginning she's so uncanny and freaky with her claws and sideways blinking, before getting super caught off gaurd and confused by Ody's shift in behavior. I love how you can see her start to get irritated with him towards the end and scarmble to regain her composure when it breaks. Super amazing work!!

I love how your Siren!Penelope slowly starts to show more and more of her actual siren traits as the song progresses. Like in the beginning she looks human enough, then as Odysseus stalls and tests her, she does her reptilian blink. When he begins to question her, her claws come out, and by the end she's tired of waiting and drops the human ears and teeth and looks almost fully like a monster.

[@Ktb-Nightmare]

I think my favorite part is the immediate shift in his eyes when she says “daughter” it’s just a nice detail (idk I enjoy the emphasis on the fact that the siren slipped up and he noticed)

[@fleetwood-cheese978]

Ugh I love your siren penelope design, with the black lips and thick eyeliner and sharp nails, its just the right balance of alluring and unnerving and the way her clothes meld seamlessly with the water and the way shes constantly twisting like a whirlpool or a waterspout really sells the idea that this is a marine predator. The body language here is also so so good, the little hand gestures throughout, as well as the way they switch from her looming and grabbing at Odysseus to HIM looming over her and grabbing her arm really makes you feel the shift in power dynamics and how unsettled the siren is by it; it makes Odysseus feel equally predatory in such a subtle but chilling way.

[@reyalSemaG]

The way he narrows his eyes when she said "come play with me and our daughter" like it must have taken so much right there to not completely lose his composure

[@alexandralite835]

Please do more, I love the face expressions, you can really tell when their feeling annoyed or like their being defensive. Like when Odysseus leans on the railing and stops her from getting to close, and when she worries about him grabbing her

[@4ncientGu150]

I like the detail of how the line changes from "I will take the suffering from you", to "I will take MY suffering from you." As she grows progressively more and more frustrated, she accidentally let slip that she apparently intends to make him suffer once this is over cause she's annoyed at him for making her work so hard.

Scylla is said to have three jaws on each head and "legs" that are deformed also grab on anything she wants, she's a lot more than a simple monster , I'm pretty sure according to Greek mythology she also has some type of deadly venom , it is said that nothing makes it out of her lair alive , Gods in Greek mythology also are shown with human characteristics so they get happy sad petty like humans therefore they get scared too , so all in all it does make sense that even the sea god is scared of scylla

[@efaristi9737]

@@anastasiesk02 I don't remember her being said to have venom. And even if she has, however deadly it might be, it still can't affect a immortal god. And in Greek Mythology, Gods are similars to humans but are said to be another race. Poseidon control the f====ing ocean, he's way above Scylla.

[@anastasiesk02]

@efaristi9737 idk if the venom's mentioned in the songs but in a few articles I've read it def is , however the thing about mythology is there are many different versions of the same thing so even if she didn't have venom she still is very scary , now, sure poseidon is the god of sea but it's not like we never see the gods lose throughout greek mythology, like aphrodity for example who's the symbol of beauty but she has still lost now and then to other pretty women , so sure the gods are strong as hell but they aren't 100% invincible

0:39 dhhfbs THE WAY THAT HIS EYES IMMEDIATELY LIKE NARROW AFTER SHE SAYS DAUGHTER 2:17 i adore the back and forth ahgojfdncmvvk

[@RedPearlPrincess10]

The angles, flow, body language and expressions are all PEAK HOLY SHIT

[@alyssafigliano3994]

The way that by the end it's *Odysseus* that's making the siren uncomfortable as opposed to the other way around is just too good!

[@AvocadoEverything-l5y]

The way she just said 'oh no...' Like she really didn't care was such a different way of doing it that I've seen it done before and I love it. Great job on this.

[@wannaplayagame6708]

YES!! So many great videos out there but yours just NAILS the tone of this song. Your expressions are perfect. Keep up the great work :D

[@Yeonjuns_respect07]

I love the detail of how annoyed the siren looked as the song went on

[@JohnBluemon]

The sideways blinking! Also the arm grabs from both of them shows who is the real momster here.

[@spejscoon610]

AHhdshakdjmsk So good, the siren is so clearly uncanny and the fact you managed to sneak in some fish elements here and there into the animation is really cool! I am eagerly awaiting to see Different Beast, you made really good buildup to it You did this song justice, I'd say

[@jennifernitschke1242]

In “of course!” Sirenelope looks so caring and adorbs. Love it!

[@reillyg2664]

Okay, but 2:15 and 2:16 . I know it’s not that kind of situation but I love it. Also the juxtaposition of her pretending to be Penelope when she’s actually his enemy and these interactions that could easily be between an enemy or a love is so good!

[@reillyg2664]

I feel like their facial expressions during these time stamps also show how much of a dangerous man he is. Instead of just faking a smile the whole time, he’s switching back and forth and you can see how much he detests her. This is also really interesting and matches the switch to the next song. I love this animatic so much!

[@reillyg2664]

I also love how in the end when he’s holding onto her, when he lets go his expression is saying “I have won, I am the one in control”. Then when you pan to the siren for a short time she has pure fear on her face. I love how you portrayed the emotions, actions, and reactions of Odysseus and the siren in this animatic!

[@nonoo2157]

Your colouring and artstyle is just so gorgeous

[SIRENS] Penelope Penelope [PENELOPE?] Don’t you miss me? [ODYSSEUS] More than you know [PENELOPE?] Then jump in the water and kiss me [ODYSSEUS] Penelope, I’ve told you this before You know I’m afraid of the water [PENELOPE?] I’ll make sure that you are safe and sound Come play with me and our daughter and let’s watch our love leave the ground [ODYSSEUS] Oh, I would But I’d be suffering trying to float the whole time [PENELOPE?] I would take the suffering from you [ODYSSEUS] Oh, as good as it sounds, right here I’m just fine [PENELOPE?] I could take the suffering from you [ODYSSEUS] You know that I prefer my feet on the ground [PENELOPE?] I will take the suffering from you [ODYSSEUS] Fine, but only if you answer a question or two [PENELOPE?, spoken] Of course! [ODYSSEUS, spoken] Okay, so let’s say I was on the run or hiding… From, I don’t know, Poseidon… And let’s say he blocked the way home with giant waves and giant storms... [PENELOPE?, spoken] Oh no! [ODYSSEUS] How am I to evade him? How am I to get home? Which route should I take? Where am I supposed to go? [PENELOPE?] He will chase you high and low So find a place he’d never go The one way you'll get home Is sailing where he's scared to roam, oh It’s through the lair of Scylla [ODYSSEUS, spoken] No... [PENELOPE?] This is your only way home The lair of Scylla [ODYSSEUS] But Scylla has a cost [PENELOPE?] Well, you asked and now you know Now jump in the water! [ODYSSEUS] Penelope, why? You know I’m too shy and terrified [PENELOPE?] I would take the suffering from you [ODYSSEUS] Oh, for you, I would die, but can't you let me stay dry? [PENELOPE?] I could take the suffering from you [ODYSSEUS] You should come onto the ship We'll jump at the same time [PENELOPE?] I will take the suffering from you [ODYSSEUS] Ah, the things I do for you

[@EisenMarquez-rf5ey]

Thanks

[@Helur_Loves_Cats]

I love how everyone agrees that the siren is losing her mind and about to khs

[@Artsytambourine92665]

This is probably my favorite animatic of this song! I like hep their dynamic goes back and forth with both characters trying to control the situation while keeping a charming demeanor

[@KouperLopez-6600]

These are so good! You should do the whole series! (I know that's going to be really hard, but it would be great to see it) Either way, I love what you got down right now. It's great, keep up the good work.

[@leetvipgamer]

Im starting to dig this musical after hearing no longer you and I will say I love how around the end of the song we see the true form of the siren start to be revealed

[@ChupacabraRex]

I absolutely love this! First off, I love your designs for odysseous with he gets the siren to give him the info he wants, siren!penelope and the somewhat unnerving eternal smile and sideways blinking, and the ship! I adore all the expressions you give your characters, and I also adore your anatomy. I love how the Siren attempts to keep her cool but how it's obvious by 2:00 that she's very clearly impatient, and even her transformation is begging to work wrongly. Thank you for making it!
