Survive [ EPIC: The Musical | Animatic | DISCONTINUED ]

[@tododokii]

THE ACTION SCENES OH MY GOD- Choreographed and staged so well, I’M IN AWE-

[@tumblingartist]

IKR ITS SO GOOD

[@hahstudios2753]

Seeing this and Remember Them, you give the cyclops a level of personality that I don’t see other animatics do. He actually kinda reminds me of his dad in terms of anger and being conniving lol

[@MsArdvarrk]

Ooo the opening scene with the ground breakingggg

[@altothealtoiest1682]

I love the motion in this! Really shows how big Polyphemus is and how the strat is "be as annoying as possible"

[@DeadBore]

“When we kill him then our journey’s over” YOU HAD ONE JOB-

[@ObsidianArrowYT]

I was just thinking this 😂

[@altercard5389]

Athena be like:

[@samukajabateh1640]

This would be fun to see. Loved seeing the reflection of the cyclops on the sword given its the one life he needs to take in order to live. I especially liked where it switched to Odysseus, eurylocus, and polites when Odysseus said "fight fight fight ". They are practically the three musketeers amongst them but it is crazy that polites is least likely to fight given he accepts the world with open arms

[@camdaman9857]

Also it covered one of his eyes paralleling the cyclops like how he does in later songs like monster

[@Fluffy-Angel-wings]

Polites was still one of the soldiers that fought alongside Odyssues in Troy, so the idea that he's some kind of "UwU soft bean that never hurt anyone" always came off as iffy to me, he's a man who's, most likely than not, killed others but he's also trying to put past his trauma/past and enjoy life, specifically, enjoy the fact that Odyssues and his army will be going home soon, which may be the reason for his "greet the world with open arms" mentality. But yeah, I like this take a lot, Eurylochus and Polites seem to be the closest to Odyssues out of everyone(if we include the cut songs as well) and the idea that they work almost in sync with each other is great.

[@Fluffy-Angel-wings]

Also I'm pulling this out of my ass because the odyssey is extremely different from the musical

[@Hybridcrows]

even if this is a discontinued animatic i do love seeing the sketchwork and how you break anatomy and composition down into lines and shapes (in other words HELL YEAH LINES🎉🎉🎉)

[@Nyusha_Archive]

0:42 Wow, my all-time favorite shot in this animatic The animatic is incredibly chic, even if unfinished, it's still incredibly chic and beautiful. Smooth movements, evil Polyphemus and brave Odysseus in your legendary style - everything is fine. Thank you very much for this animatic, dear author 💕

[@rachelbax8002]

Chills when the lyrics with blad reflection so artfully timed

[@sandazvejniece1354]

I love how even if you decided to discontinue this animatic, you still posted it! I hope you're proud of your work Wolfy! It's truly amazing, the things you do!

[@tododokii]

Even discontinued, it’s still incredibly amazing Wolfy :) ❤ (I might also be a LITTLE insane over the frame of Odysseus with his sword and the reflection of the Cyclopes in it, AHHHHHH)

[@JinxDoesChaos]

I love how in 0:27 almost everyone looks taller than Odysseus- 😂

[@nisassa]

You are honestly so genius with your composition and framing like goddamn. Artistry 10/10. The scene where the blade is turned to show the reflection of Polyphemus with "Just one life to take" That is some brain goes BRRRRRR level of imagery. I'm happy you shared this despite being discontinued. Your process is so cool!

[@NoctisNoxFleuret]

omggggggg when I saw him lift his sword I absolutely pictured him turn it to reflect the cyclops and that's exactly what happened. I cant express how satisfactory that choreography was, and all you showed of the fight was great. nom nom nom thanks for the food

[@thelocalshoop]

going insane over the sequence at 0:34

[@AnonEMouse-ls7fp]

I love the way you framed the cyclops in the mouth of the cave. Not only does it help show the size of the opponent for the fight, but it also shows the size of the obstacle he is in "Remember Me." Logically, it made sense that Ody had to figure out how to move him as well as incapacitate him, but it was hard for me to visualize. Thanks for helping my poor brain.

[@katterwaul6317]

the shot with the sword is STUNNING. even unfinished, this is great. thank you for sharing it with us!

[@rea.3.228]

0:34 is rlly cool! I love the whole movement of ody bringing up his sword, and for just one life to take putting Polyphemus’ reflection was clever! Ik this is discontinued and old but rlly wolfy this is amazing- Edit- and I love the way u draw human bases, it seems so complex but so simple at the same time if that makes sense. Idk..

[@TILLYDOLLY]

Honestly wish you did finish it. It would have been nice to have the whole Cyclops series animated with one REALLY awesome artist, but whatever reason you just discontinue it, I respect and understand.

[@Valeri_Mithology]

Survive its my favorite of the cyclops saga, you make it just how I imagined

[@Revanaught]

So sad that this wasn't finished. There's so few animatics for survive and I definitely like your style the most.

[@DanaBanana94]

The way you capture angles and movement is so awesome! Sad that it didn't turn out the way you hoped, but thank you very much for the effort you put in and sharing it with the rest of us !

[@SeekersTrio]

Saw the notification and absolutely jumped onto this. I'm sad it's discontinued, but it'd be awesome to see the finished version! These videos have sort of become the frame of reference for whenever I listen to this set of songs. 😅

[@felisadidas4932]

I finally got into Epic: The Musical and these animatics of yours are FEEDING me. They are incredible, and I absolutely love your art style!

[@Saphyu]

I wish that when he says '600 lives at stake' his army appers in silhouettes behind him. Missed opportunity!! But overall so beautiful and well thought out omg you're awesome esp with the reflection in the sword

[@deliabailey7422]

The hand reaching out to grab them is such a cool shot

[@Refrigerator_girl]

1:23 i am going insane over that flip it looks so smooth

[@spotsdoodles]

Thank you so much for still deciding to share the animatic, Wolfy! It's been one of my favorites to watch you develop, and Remember Them is one of my favorite songs, so, it's a 10/10 in my book!

[@a-plasticine-dream]

its always so cool to see how your style has developed! even if you discontinued this work, i think its awesome (just like everything you make)

[@yuanxuu3183]

the blade portion was PHENOMENAL.

[@tommyriven]

Your version, even unfinished, remains my preferred animatic. You do such a great job with both facial and bodily expressions.

[@chofiv6096]

feeling crazy about this

[@Lente.M.X.d]

OH. MY. LORD!!! THIS IS SO GOOOODDDDDD You're so talented !! your style is so good! i'm speechless, don't know what to say! go on, can't wait for more!

[@lemonbotak210]

Wolfy once again making the day better, it's so awesome I have no words 🧡 even if discontinued

[@NerveUnderscore]

Thanks for posting this! I love the action scenes and later figure out how the animator did it xD kind of a study. Amazing work as always

[@mystery5252]

This Musicale needs a full budget movie adaptation. I know it would be hard with music copyrights and stuff. But it really needs one.

[@mishmeowe]

OMG I LOVE THIS, it's sad that is discontinued but still looks amazing, great work ❤ My favorite part is 1:47 /1:50 is so cute to see idk, good job always bringin us masterpieces

[@animan095]

I am glad to be able to see a glimpse of your vision, your animatics for this arc are my favorite!

[@fluffycat2728]

It’s fair you discontinued this. This song is so hard to animate but I’m so happy with just this. Words can’t express how perfect everything here is and the action animation omg PERFECT I tell you PERFECT❤❤

[@corancoranthemagicalman]

Aw man, I totally get the artist perspective of having drawn in so much experience and skill that you're no longer quite as satisfied with it, but hot DAMN it really is so chilling!! The loose line work kind of adds to it, too. It just evokes so much emotion and desperation. Seriously, lovely work as always.

[@cleanbeanArt]

Hey, there are still some good moments in here! However, it's good to let something go once you lose all motivation. Your design for Polites is still my favorite, and if you ever do revisit this song, I look forward to seeing how you portray his death.

[@shhhhhhhhhhhh08]

you're my favourite epic the musical animator 🤲 also my favourite song OMG

[@Dk.Inndand]

1:49 WHO ARE THEY??!

[@ellieh4391]

The part when he tilts his sword to show Polyphemus!!! Ugh gives me chills every time it’s soo goood!! Well done again!! 0:38

[@ciarameehanbravo7690]

I feel the echoes of the battle cries and it has shook to the depths of my soul.. You’ve once again created the moving tapestry of the Odyssey and we are in awe if you ! 🥹

[@iliketea1427]

This is in the top 3 of my favorite Epic songs, thank you! And this looks absolutely amazing especially even though its discontinued.

[@chimy1999]

stunning animatic as always, the acting is so well done??? The flip he does at 1:23 ? 10/10 I'm speeeeechless. (I laughed when I saw the "might change" scribble, so relatable as a storyartist mysefl) btw it's your fault I'm in this fandom right now, I love you and hate you at the same time, your works inspires me so much, thanks for the hard work

[@Evergreenoutsider10]

Everytime I think I can’t possibly be impressed anymore, someone comes along and proves me wrong. Today it’s you. This is AMAZING! The angles for the camera, the motion, the emotion that you draw that lens greater weight to how the song is sung. Just 😮 Child, never stop drawing.

[@victoriavala127]

WYM DISCONTINUED?! I NEED ME A FIGHT SCENE CMOOOON! but honestly, yours is the only epic animatic ill watch, i don't really like the other ones that much, and i need to see Polities die (cuz yes, i wanna cry real hard)

[@imoto472]

Thank you so much for posting it instead of letting it die on your pc!! Even if you don't like it anylonger I love it and I am so happy to have been able to watch it ❤ thank you again

[@danaezafiro1893]

I really really admire your work wolfy, this is amazing. Even discontinued it’s pretty awesome, like bro wut??? So glad you post it 🥹🩵

[@a-r-welm]

The way I gasped when I saw this uploaded! It was so perfect how you highlighted Odysseus, Eurylochus & Polites on the first "Fight! Fight! Fight!" Oh my goodness, if you ever finish this, I would love to see the fight scene more fleshed out. It looks so dynamic and riveting, even as is. Wow!!

[@binglebear1]

Freaking love this. Thanks for showing it even though this discontinued! Can’t wait to see what comes out next!

[@moniuszko_]

wolfy who is having a gay moment here 1:49?

[@emma-mu2ex]

I NEED to know this too

[@Dk.Inndand]

I NEED ANSWERS TOO

[@sheridandwyer]

Ahh as sad as I am this likely won't be finished; your style still shines through so beautifully. You're excellent with framing and little details- things like Odysseus turning the sword to show the cyclops or the way its pupil dilates. I really hope you return to it one day and have another crack at it but I'm so excited for whatever you release in the future; especially with the Circe saga so close at hand! ❤

[@Korsav0]

1:49 The homies were zesty

[@Mika-zl2cr]

I’m in Awe. I’m bawling my eyes out and I’m just speechless with how stunning all of your work is every. Single. Time!!!🔥🔥

[@blue-1079]

THAT ROLL WAS SO SMOOTH AND THE SWORD AND ALL THE ACITON SCENES HOLY SHIT

[@stardust948.]

All the different perspectives are incredible

[@bethswann8289]

omg i swear you add extra level of depth to the songs🔥🔥

[@kathrynblakeley9823]

Makes absolute sense sometimes I’m just happy for what you give us on the occasional and I hope you’re taking care of yourself

[@clown-o-the-cursed]

AAAH I WAS HOPING YOU WERE GONNA DO THIS SONG!! This is such GORGEOUS work like always!! ❤❤

[@Skfbloop]

Despite it being discontinued I love the work and the idea put into each of the scenes. The work is truly like watching an action sequence from cartoon/anime

[@graciandhercats]

I love watching incomplete animatics. It gives a better feel for the animation process which is always so cool

[@dr.zespert]

the two figures falling over at 1:49 are making out sloppy style and you can’t convince me otherwise

[@Thatoneperson395]

So real

[@alh6693]

Oh what I wouldn't give for a completed version. Like I'd wait months for this lmfao it'd be worth it. It's beautiful even in it's incomplete form though. Love you wolfy!

[@dmmeee9862]

😢 Its kinda sad how this was discontinued. but on a good note, LOVE YOUR ART AND HOW YOU PORTRAYED THIS SCENE.

[@kate_castor_6419]

Thank you for your animatics! I've been watching them all the time for the last week, I fascinated by a unity of drawings and music!! Bravo!

[@ElianZiS]

It still looks so good, and of course ACTION ACTION ACTION!!! It's amazing :3

[@khaossecond]

YESSSSSSSS OMG NEW ANIMATIC

[@carpedm9846]

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO Even with a discontinued version always very cool to see this piece

[@PearlyRabbit]

Odysseus 0:12 : *Lecturing crew* Meanwhile Polyphemus's inner monologue 0:22 : "Omg, so like, am I supposed to be attacking them right now? But it's so awkward, I should just wait until he's done just to be polite...Yeah, maybe I should just stiffly stand and stare at them for now. Sounds good."*

[@wordstalktome]

Crying Sobbing on my kneees, you spoil us so good Wolfy!! Thank you!!

[@laurels1616]

You have no idea how much excitement this notification brought me- IT LOOKS SO DAMN GOOOOD! The reflection with the sword?! I squealed.

[@toruyn]

god i just love ur design for everything

[@sarahstevens8587]

This would probably be good enough for a movie director so it feels good enough for me. Thank you for sharing it regardless of its completion level

[@paolar836]

0:33 CHILLS wowowow the look over the shoulder to his men, then the dynamic switch to Odysseus facing us straight on, the different frames of his face each showing a different sequence of his emotion with an zooming affect and then WHAM sword pose as the chorus SIX HUNDRED LIIIVES AT STAKE~~~~ This was brilliant! Thank you for sharing ( ´∀｀ )b

[@TheCosmo1]

OMG I LOVE YOUR ART SM you’ve been such a big inspiration to me and my art journey!

[@Cocoecake]

It's giving *dream sequence* - when you can't quite see the faces but you know that the battle is EPIC!

[@medd-lee]

this is closer to a keyframed piece than an animatic i can see why it was taking so long also it jusst looks so freaking good :sob:

[@TorgKuman]

Shame there isn’t enough Survive Animatic,it’s one of my favorite songs!

[@Flareyn]

Despite it being unfinished, IT'S STILL SO GOOD HOLY-

[@MadisonMRS]

Oh my goodness gracious This is so cool I love your work as always!!❤

[@AWizardIsNeverrLate]

This would've been amazing!! I hope you can finish it someday

[@Phasmania]

Ohh this is so cool, I shouldn’t be surprised you pull off action this well but wow

[@ravenclawfairy3648]

I love this! ❤️ You have captured exactly what I picture in my head when I hear this song!

[@lastcookieontheplate]

[@speedyhorse8957]

Woop! Glad to see it!!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@speedyhorse8957]

After watching it I love it!🥰🤩 it’s like everything you do even if it may not be finished it’s still really good work! You go wolfy!❤️

[@Fran-ku5nw]

My father used to tell me odyssey as a bedtime story, seeing this makes me so emotional (and its freaking epic bro wtf it's sooooo good)

[@shaytriesdrawing]

So would it be possible to annoy the giant to death? 😂😂 It's a shame that it's unfinished, I think this is the best animatic for this song. It's definitely MY favorite.

[@loginlost_horizon6327]

Wolfy rejected mainstream and dropped Survive instead of Keep Your Friends Close, what a chad. You aint hear any complains from me, good sir, well done!

[@WolfyTheWitch]

Haha well I have ruthlessness in the works but alas I also have school

[@loginlost_horizon6327]

@@WolfyTheWitch No complaints, happens to the best of us, your works are one of the best there is, worth waiting no matter how long.

[@harleypowell5274]

Ohhhh I enjoy every animatic you make! Thanks for sharing this one!

[@Impimperator]

This is really beautiful! I love the action choreography but yeah I can see what you mean by changing styles
