The way that Poseidon was framed in the beginning where just his arms resting and waist above the water.

It was amazing.

It really does spell out why Poseidon is so hellbent on killing Odysseus despite the fact he doesn't really seem to actually care that much about Polyphemus, it's more about his reputation than his son.

[@ChrisTheWeak]

​@@Sergei_Ivanovich_MosinA big reason why Poseidon would have preferred Odysseus to have killed Polyphemus. If he died, then he would be gone. Poseidon has loads of children. But with him merely blinded, well, now he's telling people what Odessues did. He's praying to Poseidon for revenge. If Poseidon refuses his call, then he's abandoning his child, and saying anyone can walk right over him. If his son merely died then there would be no one to spread the word of who bested him.

[@collectorofmyst2107]

I've said it before, I'll say it again. I love when the greek gods are 'inhuman' in the way they look. This version of Poseidon isn't just angry, he's genuinely, terrifyingly, _eldritch._ He _is_ a force of nature, he _is_ water, he _is_ anger. The threats he make are all hypotheticals, but he demonstrates, very easily, that they are not beyond him. You have a talent for timing and creativity (I love the little water-stream-thing Poseidon turns into) and we all know that it's going to be good when Wolfy posts.

[@KlairIconic]

Ahhhhh, the second "Get in the water" at 0:37 sends shivers up my spine. The deadpan expression, the nonchalant body language, the hard "I'm over this and on a tight schedule" tone. It's like a mafia enforcer telling you to get in the car because the boss wants to see you. Except it's a GOD and he wants you to test the fit of your coffin.

[@MinisDunyasi5]

He looks very sure of himself, like he knows what he’s doing is so cool. I love his confident look. When he says “Get in the water” it’s said as a command, and through water manipulation he pushes Odysseus into the water. He’s obviously stronger than him, physically dominating with water manipulation, but besides being physically stronger, he’s also emotionally stronger. He manipulates both water and emotions, dominating the conversation by making it less of a conversation and more of giving orders, using blackmail and forcing Odysseus. I also love how you drew him holding eye contact with Odysseus, there is no fear in his eyes, he looks stern and emotionless, while Odysseus looks terrified.

I really like how it looks like Poseidon is trying to make a point to Odysseus, since this whole time Odysseus was being too merciful and even downright disrespecting gods (killing poseidons son for example) And he clearly cant let that go unpunished. Manipulating the water and even using his giant trident to make it so Odysseus can't run and back away was also a really nice touch

[@Shadowblader98]

The issue with his son is he actually left him alive funny enough, had Odysseus killed the Cyclops he wouldn't have been hunted since the Cyclops couldnt call in his father to curse Odysseus, the thing that sealed his fate was stupidly saying his real name out loud though, had he left with the whole "nobody" thing in tact he would have been safe too

I am reminded of Eris from the animated Sinbad movie. The behind the scene commentary had the creators saying that they designed her ephemeral nature by the logic that her body was 'a slave to her thoughts', basically it morpheds and changed entirely on her whims. It could be solid one minute, and the next she's basically a dust cloud you could walk through, human sized one moment, and a giant the next. I feel a lot of similarities with this depiction of Poseidon, the only difference is how he is portrayed as an elemental of water.

And demonstrating with each new wave what is at stake as he reaches closer and closer to the shoreline. …Truly malicious

He feels so intimidating, and the way he picks odesseyus up, he does not need him to listen and go in the water. Posedian can kill him right there and then, but he wants odesseyus to surrended.

[@socorrowilly]

This is the best interpretation of not just this song, but also Poseidon so far. Posiedon is usually never villianized enough in media despite the fact he did way more evil than Hades, who gets villainized way more. While most animatic portray Posiedon just as someone who happened to get on his bad side because of Odysseus, I like that you portrayed him as the sadistic power-God he truly is. He is Odysseus' biggest threat, and he feels like that in this animatic. I'm not exactly sure if you are going to do "Ruthlessness", but I can't wait to see that one as well. Exceptional job!

[@lordcthulhu8472]

Eh, most of the time in the myths, Poseidon come across as fairly responsible dude. Kinda the peacemaker between the different gods, one of the few that can get Zeus to behave. He is fairly good at protecting his lovers/rymes with grapes victims, from shenanigans and reward them. He is willing to do a lot if you just ask him. Of course when upset he becomes as cruel as the ocean can be, but it's come across as justified. His beef with Odysseus is litterly over him mutilating his child, it's hard to find a more justified reason to be upset with a guy. But Poseidon cruelty has limits, Odysseus is still only one of very few greek heroes that get's a happy ending. Similarly when Athene selected Athena over him as their patron god, he should have easily sunk the entire city into the sea, like what he did was Atlantis, with Athena being unable to do anything to stop the much more powerful Poseidon, but he didn't do it. He is more active and mythological much older then Hades so yes, he come across as more evil then Hades, who was given a bad hand by synchronisation with Christianity. But Hades in the myth possible also portrayed as being nicer then he actually was worshipped as. Hades was a figure the greek where so scared off they didn't even reference to him by name. But called him stuff like the ever welcoming father, the man that recieve many guest, etc. so there is a possibility that they avoided writing his myth in a way that might displease hades. Like how the persephone myth goes out of it way to not blame Hades for it.

​@@mago_semmana589Honestly he has worse reputation then he deserves. But i wasen't ignoring the rhymes with grapes stuff. Most Greek gods got quite the list of victims. And of the gods you should be raped by, then Posidon is one of the better options. Because after the act, he is willing to do nearly anything you ask him. And as you can see here, he is rather overprotective father. So any kids from your union will be well protected and well off. Compared to other gods *cough* Apollo *cough* Zeus * cough* Aphrodite, Poseidon is an outright gentleman. It dosen't mean it right of course, but in the contest of the mythology he is in, he is one of the nicer gods. As for Medusa it depends a bit on what myth you go with, the earliest source of her being raped is a Roman source. Written by Ovid, who had some serious issues with authorities, and is believed to have rewriting myths as a form of critic of the roman emperors. Greek myth either has her consent or doesn't state it at all, or she had nothing to do with Posidion at all. Funny enough the oldest myth we have of Posidion and Medusa relationship, has Medusa already being a monster when they sleep together.

[@samanthaledesma604]

I cannot wait to here Steven sing this

[@nyxthenuisance6663]

I've been watching your animations for what I'd estimate to be almost 2 years now. You've been my inspiration and you've grown SO much and to this day I still get excited when I see that you've posted. You're amazing and I hope you know it. 💛

[@alcyone5776]

0:36 Poseidon's nod to the water makes me think that it was all just theatrics and face in the beginning for him Also I like to think that some guy away from the shore was just watching this all go down "Does this mean I'm not going swimming today?"

[@mariamarisa3615]

Can I just say that I absolutely adore how you draw Poseidon? Like the feeling of him as a powerful existence and just in that frame where his trident looks like bars in a cell was fantastic!

[@starryalien]

omg I just knew this song would be next :D the way Poseidon forms from the water is literally insane and not to mention I got chills while watching this. I felt Odysseus’ fear too aaa

[@elizam7219]

I love how in this animatic it actually looks like Poseidon is projecting himself through the water, others have gone for that effect but it’s never looked as good as in this one

[@ericahoff8386]

you know, this animation really shows in explicit detail exactly why everyone should have been far more scared of Poseidon than Zeus. yes, Zeus was king of the gods and could smite you down at any time for any reason, but he comes across as someone who would one shot a slight annoyance at the drop of a hat regardless of the consequences while Poseidon would plan it out after an extended period of time and make one's death torturous. he could drown the whole planet if he so wished and there was nothing Zeus could do to stop him. Poseidon had the potential to be a far scarier monster than Zeus could ever hope to be and you successfully managed to capture that here. *claps*

[@iz_foo]

oh this slaps so hard. i love how flowy the water is, how it has shape and collision but still drips and cannot be completely contained :OOO

[@StormTE]

I can’t get over how realistic the movements are, how does one manage to make animation feel natural and not stiff-

[@Venus0Kets]

The way the water formed while Odysseus was in his hand to drown him was sooo good-!

[@brenndanmcdonaugh1672]

Its been said before. But i love how inhuman you make the gods. Athena was stiff and moved like an owl. In contrast Posidon here is like a humanoid wave and moves as such. It adds an unsettling aspect to them. They arent human, only putting on a slightly human face to get what they want.

[@kwowka]

How with black and white and simple line strokes you can create such a fluid, beautiful scene always amazes me.

[@adra_moth]

I love the idea that he gets more wild and stormlike as he gets angrier and the way you drew that concept is amazing! Part of the spot where he was hunched over and dripping had me thinking of Charybdis' maw! Absolutely stunning

[@bric3424]

The way the screen shakes to show just how big and imposing Poseidon is gives me goosebumps! I love it!

[@blazekeaveny645]

The power that comes from this scene, its so palpable and the animation is amazing! I feel like people always talk about Zeus, Hades, Hera, and other Greek gods but Poseidon is usually paid less attention too, but the depiction of this scene with the Music has me just blown away! Thank you for this amazing animatic and I hear plenty of great things about this musical so I've been meaning to watch this

[@boomgirlbucko]

The fact that Poseidon could literally just drag him in and kill him, but he chooses to make Odysseus go in himself.

[@mihostan6106]

Nonchalantly threatening Poseidon was not what I was expecting to see but DAMN that was so well executed.

[@Natalia-cm8im]

I love the fact that Odysseus has a beard, it shows the time away.

[@nathan4036]

WHOEVER WROTE THIS! Disney needs to find them. THIS would have been a SICK villian song in their princess franchise. I miss the days of dark villians

[@Jayazillie114]

This was written by Jorge Rivera-Herrans, it's from a musical called Epic. :)

[@storyxobssesedxnerd]

Did I ever tell you how great and mesmerizing and DIVINE your art is? I try to tell you below every video but I- just- IT ISN'T ENOUGH. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR ART AND CONTENT WITH US! (AHHH I LOVE THIS) ❤❤❤❤❤

[@rai4119]

I just want you to know, this is what introduced me to Epic the musical (and an afternoon of crying). ​ ​So I'm saying I had NO context about what was happening, but your art was so good... That by the first "Get in the water" my blood went cold. ​ ​The song is so threatening too, because I loved the part "You have lived *more than enough!"* ​Cuz how do you argue against a god that just told you that??? ​ ​So after (several replays of) this, I went to look up other songs, saw your other animatics, and holy shit are you talented. So many decisions by your enigmatic makes them stand out, but besides the heartbreaking "Just a Man" (the baby and the helmet symbolism killed me), honestly my favorite is When Odysseus speaks with Circe, the very way he approaches in the beginning seconds immediately tells you what kind of man he is, to saunter between a serpent wrapped pillar and lion, casually feeling the pillar between the coils as he approaches Circe. No one else gives their animated Odysseus the same vibe, and you carry it throughout the whole animatic. Just...thank you for your work. Made for a very eye-opening and entertaining (and heartbreaking) evening.

[@milliismycat]

I love how Poseidon is just made out of water. Great animatic!

[@bubblymilkshake9055]

When I was young and obsessed with Greek Mythology, Poseïdon and Athena were my favorites. I was pretty much pissed off that every media picturing and designing them were horrible. Alway making Athena a sexy woman instead of a warriors and poseidon a sexy business looking man rather than a violent pervert. All of that being said, THANK YOU FOR GIVING THEM THE JUSTICE THEY DESERVE.

[@adrianamurillo5810]

Woah! I LOVE THIS ONE SO MUCH! Your desing for Poseidon is so awesome! Eldrich grandpa is def my favorite type of mythical being! This is awesome!!!

[@fangirlnumber3]

Oh my god I love everything about this! 💯The design of Poseidon - he's not just the God of the Ocean, he is the literal embodiment of it! The way the power dynamic is so so very clear, that Poseidon is almost playing with Odysseus. Poseidon is a god and Odysseus, as clever as he is, is still 🎵just a man🎵 trying to reason with the embodiment of the cruel brutality of the open ocean. And god the amount of personality shown by that one head tilt "get in the water" 🤌🤌🤌

[@metalheartsrejik2219]

this design of poseidon just makes me wanna see how he'd act in 'ruthlessness', i love it so much!

[@peridotkirishima9565]

I love how Poseidon’s form is malleable bc it’s literally water, it looks SO cool! Amazing art as always

[@starRushi]

Every goddamn time you release a new one I logically assume it can’t be even better than the previous Naturally, you wouldn’t bend to something as weak as logic or sense Every *single* time, you create something freaking gorgeous

[@lunasolaris6813]

“I’ve got a mane to uphold”.. is how id often hear that line. Figured he was bragging at having a nice head of hair or beard lol

[@aspiringscientificjournali1505]

Humans mane You have a mane

[@twilightgranger8408]

WOLFY OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS. ITS SO COOL THE ENTIRE INTERACTION, HOW YOU SHOW HOW TRULY TERRIFYING POSEIDON IS AND HOW ODYSSEUS IS JUST POWERLESS RIGHT NOW JUST AHHH AND DON’T GET ME STARTED ON THE ANIMATION OF POSEIDON AND THE WATER

[@szelda]

I need to point out that my immediate reaction upon seeing you uploaded this was to go "YOOOOOOOOO" out loud (it's half past 1 am here) But also I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THE WAY YOU ANIMATED POSEIDON him being depicted as BEING the water, shifting size, his flowy movements are SO!!!!! And the expressions are always SO so good,,, You're a genius, gorgeous animatic as always

[@cole4080]

0:32 NO ONE’S TALKING ABT THIS PART???? I ALWAYS GET SHIVERS WHENEVER I SEE THIS PART

[@Nico_DiAngelo]

Omg fr i love it so much
