I dunno how to squeeze in his glasses.
Epic the musical has been consuming my brain
Here's my verison of Aeolus a fem and masc verison of them cause the wind changes so much, why not change they're gender for fun :)
Hermes! Dionysus is next. This was really fun to draw.
Dionysus! Let me know what god you’d like me to design next.
im so obsessed with jjk i thought this was a reference to six eyes im crashing out
A break from the sadness.. Hermes design! :3
this is how god games went right
Just saying...
but technically...
TECHNICALLY...
Odysseus' crew isn't supposed to make it past the River Styx because they didn't have proper burials and don't have the coins to pay Charonte (????????)
Just saying they'll never see their loved ones again because most of them are probably able to get proper burials (:
Calypso, dear, you're not really helping the situation right now
...Teehee
(OML I JUST REALIZE I FORGOT TO TURN THE LAYER BACK ON FOR HIS HEAD TUFT ON THE FULL BODY-OOPS 😭😭) Since Seasonal posted their quick storyboard of Scylla I thought it was appropriate to share the character designs of Ody and Eury (+ the palette design for Odysseus bc unfortunately we don’t have a full color full body of Eury yet (we have his palette design but it hasn’t left the “base” stage yet))
(I didn’t include Ody’s scars for various reasons- primarily bc I’m dumb and forgot. Ody also looks slightly different depending on what point of the story it is) If you’re wondering why Ody has so many notes and not Eury, that’s because I did Ody first. Half way through the notes I realized “wait, what am I doing?? This isn’t for anyone outside of me and my twin?? Why am I meticulously trying to find space for notes me and them already know of??” So I decided to save myself the time and energy by not adding notes for Eury. I think these are both down for some revisions, but these are generally what they look like!
Here’s Odysseus’s palette design! The sketch was originally made by @seasonalmoss (a bit ago, so it was definitely before his character design was made). I did everything else! (His scars were adjusted a bit after this) gosh I probably should go through my thought process over this designs- I’ll try to list a few!
Odysseus being all droopy was a design choice made from the start (we joined this fandom in July 14TH 2023). We wanted to capture the weight of his guilt and sadness in some physical way. It also just makes him look more sopping wet. His fur use to be super sharp in shape, and his ears use to stand tall! This was to show how bold and out there he was! Between Just a Man and Survive his ears were simply kinked a little. For the entirety of act one his fur was incredibly round in shape. To show how he leaned a little bit to much on the mercy side of things.
A lot of the design choices regarding his palette design was with three things in mind. 1. Telemachus was actually designed first (bc Seasonal designed him and she didn’t procrastinate for over a year on his design)- so I had to make sure he looked related to his son (Ody being a tabby just made sense to us) 2. I really wanted to reference owls- as he is a trainee of Athena. 3. Odysseus is a very warm, loving and sweet guy (when not pushed into corner) so I really wanted to capture that with his design!
We really wanted him to look well-built and a little broad-shouldered- while still looking a little scrawny in some areas (as he just felt like he was weirdly gangly and scrawny as a kid). Hence the tapering of his body! It also just adds more visual interest. (Though I probably could’ve exaggerated these a little more)
Ody actually has these weird square shaped striped pupils- which isn’t properly shown in his palette design (I’m not sure why- ask @seasonalmoss since it was their idea. But I think it looks cool)
Catified EPIC: the musical Storyboard
Making an EPIC animatic 😤 anyways quick kinda low quality storyboard! Eurylochus now has a design BTW! Which isnt really shown here, but he was designed by my twin! @thequasarwinds (I’ll allow her to post it) his pallet design however (so his colors and patterns) were by me! I used a base so im not gonna show it here!
Our catified design for the stinky man who tried to beat up and traumatized Telemachus (he sure did the first- but after We’d Be Fine it seems as if Telemachus thought it was fun- I guess you didn’t beat out the good coping mechanisms Antinous)
EPIC: The musical Catfied quick Antinous design
I’m just waiting for the wisdom Saga to come out, I literally can’t wait for it- it needs to come out now or I’m going to have a heart attack/j
Anyways quick Antinous design! Not much thought went behind it? I just feel like he has a whole lot of reds on him. I kinda wanted him to look grungy and kinda dirty? I wanted his tail fur to be very bushy, as if he’s constantly bristling it. this is a doodle btw, not my actual style (for those who don’t know my account)
anyways I hate him 😊 he’s awful. But BOY OMG I LOVE HIS VOICE LIKE FHBDBDHD he sounds so giddy about mutilating Telemachus, like bro is practically kicking his feet in the air and giggling about it.
SINCE MY TWIN MENTIONED THE DRAWING
HERE HAVE IT (made by @thepowerofyes)
GRRR GRRRRR YOU GUYS DONT UNDERSTAND JUST HOW MUCH THIS FUCKING MEANS TO MEEEEEEEE
LOOK AT TELEMACHUS’S EXPRESSION
LOOK AT THE OTHER CHARACTER’S GENTLE EXPRESSION 🥹🥹
RAHHHH TWO OF MY COMFORT CHARACTERSSSSS 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
CAN WE APPRECIATE HOW WELL THE CLOTHS ARE DRAWN????? PLEASE FOLLOW MY AMAZINGLY SWEET BROTHER
I wish I had Art to show of Telemachus but I don’t BJDHDJD I’VE BEEN BUSY DHDHDHGDF AAGHH THE WISDOM SAGA IS LITERALLY FUCKING KILLING ME THO DJFHDJBDJFBDHDJDHDHFJDFHNDDHDHDBHFHD I LOVE EVERY SONG THERE
I do have Eurylochus patting the head of a character who isn’t an EPIC character I also have a drawing my brother made of Telemachus getting held by a character who’s from the same thing as the previous mentioned character (theyre actually siblings)
I know this prob ain’t a shounen anime but- Telemachus is SO SO MUCH like Riko from Made In Abyss (I’d list the similarities but I don’t wanna make this too long) 😭😭😭😤😤
Telemachus my favorite shounen anime protagonist (i'm going to yap)
telemachus my favorite shounen anime protagonist
i keep saying it but just love the video game/anime inspiration like as we approach the end of the musical its just so apparent lol
gods game as a tournament for athena i just kept thinking about my hero academia LMAO wolfy did so good presenting the gods in the animatic
i just think of telemachus similar to hinata from haikyu -- like he's just a bundle of joy/sunshine to me hehe
of course i will draw ody angst but wanted to get the fun moments out of the way
i kinda wanna draw an anime style god games poster kinda like a promo art for a show but then too many characters (lazy)
can there be a place where there are official character designs for epic i keep pausing videos for reference
athena/telemachus was one of my fav duos in the Odyssey and this musical just made me love it more
can i just say?????? the fandom is insane like there were COMPLETE ANIMATED SEQUENCES????? in the live??? like artists are crazy
The pain this song brings 😔😢
This life is amazing...
