Odysseus's realization at "I took too long" was devastating well done 😭😭😭

[@BrokenDread]

Oh yeah. That shook me. It actually hit me really fucking hard When Odysseus's mom started singing, I damn near started crying. When a song can do THAT is when Jorge and the rest of the Epic cast deserves a grammy.

I legit broke down

Fucking love the visual of the dead men forming the cylops along with its eye being a swirling vortex of them?!?? Goated.

[@diddykitty746]

I really appreciate the way you animated "I took too long." It's a realization. It's an admission. It's suddenly being aware that you weren't there and life ran its course, and there's no making it up anymore because. She's gone. And she died thinking of you, while your mind was hundreds of miles away in the war you were fighting in. You never think it can happen, never question your loved one's mortality until something happens to make you do so. Odysseus is hit hard and it shows. Thank you.

[@arrechera-lover]

The "Mom?..." part always makes me teary eyed 😭

9 minutes and you’re already one of the top results when searching the underworld animatics hope this blows up soon it looks really good and envisions the song nicely

[@theearteest06]

Thank you!! ❤❤

[@Toastman64]

Wish come true my friend

[@Jashter21]

This might be my favorite Underworld Animatic because it nails the vocal transition from "Bye mom." To "ALLL I HEAR ARE SCREAAAMS!" perfectly capturing Odysseus bellowing his sorrow and frustration out into the River Styx

[@Pheebasaur182]

Your rendition of the spirits just being like memories (that's the vibe I get at least) is SO heartbreaking because it's not even like it's them there talking to ody it's just him watching as those memories float by. Also the part where ody's mom is just looking at the portrait of him is so heartbreaking I cannot. Edit: I also just want to say this is the first Underworld animatic that gave me chills and almost made me full on cry 😭

[@theearteest06]

TY!! 😭 they are supposed to be more memories! I'm so glad u were able to pick up on it!!

[@thatchanneleva4095]

Gosh the emotional breakdown and the final hug from his mom is just beautiful brb I'm gonna cry 😭

[@microwavedsal4299]

AUAUUUGH MY HEART The way you animated the entire scene with his mom... I'm downed... go on without me-

[@theearteest06]

NO MAN LEFT BEHIND 🫡

[@Alexyoutubesucks]

@@theearteest06 Elpenor:🙁🙁🙁

[@ellemao7232]

Drawing the souls like floating memories rather than being there in person makes the whole thing even more emotional for me. Odysseus is forced to remember his friend and his mother, while they didn't even notice Oysseus. It's like they dream peacefully while Odyseus is reminded that he will never be able to say goodbye to them again. -In every other version it felt like he had at least one last chance to say goodbye in the underworld, which made their death less meaningful to me

[@KC-xg7gs]

... anyone else struck by just how amazing chill Hades is with allowing the crew to just come on into the underworld and then leave with somewhat little hassle?

[@cthonisprincess4011]

He tends to do it a lot in the mythology. It's great :D

[@awildnoviceappears]

Hades was just vibing with the music lmao Hades: Yo, Cerberus, you hear that? It's a banger! Cerberus: **woof x3**

[@lijahsampson6979]

Brother rivalry, perhaps?

[@dakotahhutchins6370]

If they were putting on a whole as musical performance with the type of acoustics you only get in the Underworld then I'd be chill too

[@Brit_heartless1]

Think he feel sorry for Odi seeing all those memories he's going to have to face all the men that died under him ,the baby polites and his mom omg😢😢😢

[@nicR1302]

I really love how you showed that Odysseus and his men have aged because of how long they've been out at sea!! No one really shows that in their animations, i mean it took him like 20 years to get back home and he still looks young? Unrealistic lol but you did an amazing job!!!!

[@NordemRay]

You absolutely NAILED 3:45 ! I was kinda worried it'd be anti-climactic, since its hard to make a such a monumental climax to the song, but the expression and everything was perfect. Great animatic!

[@madrone33]

First 💛 I love the portal into the Underworld! And the way he smiled when he saw Polites nooo

[@theearteest06]

[@almostnw155]

This was amazing. Odysseus looks so vulnerable I love the angst. Adding a memory of his younger self with his mom made that part hit even harder.

[@TheBasikShow]

This is amazing! I’ve seen a lot of Underworld animatics but yours is my favorite so far. Odie’s face when he saw Polites 😭

[@legitlyspelunking]

The way his mom's spirit floated around him so tenderly broke the dam and got me sobbing 😭

this is so impressive?? the detail the anatomy and the backgrounds??? that’s tubular dude!!!!!!!

[@animucrystal]

op this animatic is AMAZING i genuinely teared up

[@BrokenDread]

Dude this is by far the most emotional song in act 1 bro. Odysseus sees Polites and he is actually glad to see him. When he sees Antecleas he realizes that he was gone for so long that his mother killed herself out of grief and how she thought Odysseus was dead. No joke. This is by far the most tearjerking song of all time. I have a feeling that if there was a way for you to see your loved ones for one final time long after they've passed, it would be a lot more heart-wrenching. Homer knew what he was doing when he wrote the Odyssey. Jay knew what he was doing when he wrote this song. and Jay knows what he's doing when he's writing Epic. He knows how to make songs happy, sad, aggressive, and of mix of the three.

[@IzabelMorrisBella]

Absolutely brilliant 🎉🎉🎉 keep up the great work 😊

OMG I DIDNT NOTICE THAT!!! ✨️✨️✨️

[@ShadowC14]

These transitions and atmosphere are just so on point. Also the fact that while the death of so many of his men have been a consistent torment on his mind, its his own mother that clearly breaks him down. In those few moments he was a man, he was a son missing his mom.

[@carlyvandersluys]

What seperates your animation compared to many others I’ve watched are the fact that your animation feels more “Lively”. There’s no “freeze” in frames, frame by frame there are subtle movements, kinda reminds me of Stop-Motion! An amazing job cause You made me cry each time Politis & his Mother scene came up 🥺

[@DinoGeekLOL]

In my interpretation, the 558 men would crawl up the boat and swarm Off before dissipating. As he mentions the infant it begins to fall to the water but Polites catches him, sending him back up and hugging Ody, leaving his headband as a gift. This calms Odysseus until he hears his mom, which sends him into despair for the rest of the song.

[@Kaia_Kristine]
