The reason why Ares is commonly depicted wearing his helmet is cause he is ashamed of his youthful face. He is unable to grow a beard, and a beard is a common signifier for being an adult.
Yeah I think it was mentioned by Pythagores or some other famous dude that the epitome of beauty was red hair with blue eyes and a symmetrical face, that's also how Helen is supposed to look I believe
*Yeah, red hair and blonde hair was a sign of a rare beauty in Ancient Greece and also in Ancient Rome because most Greek and Roman women had brown or black hair with brown eyes and golden tanned skin...Helen of Sparta and Troy had golden blonde hair, Aphrodite/Venus had strawberry blonde/copper blonde hair and Persephone had titian red or dark auburn brown hair...and all three were called the most beautiful...it is thought that even Psyche had dark golden blonde hair or light golden brown hair!!! ;)*
I really like the choice to have Ares start throwing hands with Athena on sight. It makes me imagine that an aspect of their relationship is regularly beating on eachother when they cross paths. Kind of the screwed up respect of "You are a fellow god of war and battle so I know you can take it and dish it out right back at me." But also the aspect of "You are my sibling, so on principle alone I have to punch your face in for daring to breathe the same air as me."
@@mado-wh4jvAthena whooped a lot of gods during the Trojan war , in fact most of them besides the big 3 were figthing each other in that war (I believe Athena fought ares alongside a Greek warrior and managed to make him bleed and flee)
It was between Diomedes or Melaneus, I forgot which. But whicherver of them also injured Aphrodite first, since she was carrying her favorite Troy soldiers away from taking a fatal blow @togucvinw7
Personally, I always thought that she was totally going to change her mind if Ares hadn't intervened when he did. Aphrodite is a very emotional being and vindictive at times, but in addition to being a prideful goddess of passion, she's also a mother. I think it's possible to convince her that Odysseus needs to get home not just to see his wife again...but to save their son. If any of the suitors win Penelope's hand, Telemachus is at risk of political assassination. Now, Penelope is aware of that, which is one of the reasons why she's been holding out for 20 years (even if Odysseus isn't alive, she doesn't want to put her son's life or claim to the throne at risk) but these suitors are getting more and more impatient by the year and eventually try to kill him before any of them see any progress with Penelope.
Similar to what others have said on other animatics, I really love that it showcases how Athena was really using pleading as a manipulation tactic knowing it works against Aphrodite. It also probably is why Ares is instantly physical with Athena, them being half siblings with similar domains knowing how each other think, and Ares recognizing how Athena is exploiting Aphrodite’s compassion makes him enraged.
Shes just doing what theyre doing but better Aphrodite tries to guilt her into giving up so she gets all sad back at her Ares tries to attack her to make her give up so YEET
@@The-Silliest-Little-Guy goddes of wisdom after all knowing how to play the game better then the rest is her whole thing (ironically people? not her thing as evident by her and odysseus falling out)
I love everything about this! It’s one of my favorite! Gods the way Athena was actually kinda begging Aphrodite to set Odysseus free, and Aphrodite actually looked kinda sad and sorry for her; LOVED IT!!
Actually, Athena wasn't begging, she was trying to manipulate the situation by acting so nice and considerate with Aphrodite! That's why Ares said 'Really Athena, these old tricks?' (don't take this as a rude comment pls, i'm just a greek mythology nerd)
I quite like your Athena design. The short dress and long straight hair really make it unique. Same goes for the gold armor on Ares. I really like that Athena’s blue and Ares is red, shows that they’re opposites. This is the first time I’ve actually seen them physically fight in an animatic.
0:54 Helicopter Helicopter (Edit: Love how Athena is barely bruised from Ares' barrage of attacks but Ares can't even get up anymore after Athena counters.)
I love the fact that Aries and Athena are having blows as they argue. As gods of war, it makes sense that they'd test each other in arguments with actual fighting. Guess the one with the better argument and moves wins here..
This is how I always imagine god games would be like Athena and Ares fighting, since they’re both warriors. I’m also glad that Athena finally has hair instead of her whole helmet being covered. This animatic looks good, I’m glad that you got redpuppet to commission you.
Finally someone who edited it in a way I imagined like the parts where Aphrodite fake falls on Athena and looking pity towards her and Ares and Athena throwing hands at each other unlike the others who make it look like argument yours truly stands out
it also makes sense. both god and goddess of warfare. it makes sense they'd duke it out instead of just using words. (like tyr from GOW says. the fighting does the talking, while the mind works out the rest,)
fun fact- the colors of ares and athena were (blue and red) also were used by the greek cultures that used them as their patron gods, with ares being the patron god of the spartans and athena being the patron god of the athenians
I really love this animatic!!! First, yours is the first animatic I’ve seen that gives Aphrodite such pretty orange hair and I really love how much it compliments her pink aesthetic. And I really like that her skin tone is the same as the background of her room, while both Athena’s and Ares skin tones extremely similar which I imagine is because they’re children of War! Dunno if that was intentional but I love it regardless! 🌸🔥 Second I love how in your animatic Ares isn’t just being loud and using intimidation tactics cause I feel like he would know that wouldn’t work on Athena, instead going straight into actually fighting her, cause he’s literally the god of war, and also when Athena just flips him, it really just gives me sibling fighting vibes where Ares is the younger one just going all out only for the older sister to stop humoring him and just BAP!!! And flips him over flat on his back. I love how cute Aphrodite looks when she sees Ares get laid out and actually flies over to help him up and make sure he’s okay since most animatics I’ve seen just have her react and pop up next to him judging Athena, but here she’s actively helping him up. And finally I love how she caters to each god trying convince them. First after seeing Aphrodite’s problem, she immediately pleads with her appealing to her emotions to which she actually looks like she’s considering it, before Ares shows up shouting and attacking her, to which she immediately just hits him back strong-arming her way past Ares forcing him to concede as she physically proves that she has the upper hand. Plus I think it’s so cute how they both just look like scolded children pouting after both agreeing that she beat their ass So overall 10/10 animatic for me! Great job!!! 💖✨🔥🗡️
The claw coming to her eye is a nice touch I haven't seen before and I like how Athena blocks his fist. Aphrodite turning to petals as Ares comes in was creative and her worried look for Ares thrown on the ground was thoughtful.
I always think it is so damn cute and adorable that this goddess of beauty and love n all of that fell inlove with the god that no one else seem to like? Like, he is all the brutal things about war.. but still dotes on his waifu
realizing on my thousandth watch that athena kneeling and begging aphrodite to listen is likely her showing her love for odysseus to the goddess of love, very much leaning into her domain in order to sway her. this animatic is just gorgeous and has been looping in my head for days!!!❤
The body language when Ares was fighting Athena was amazing! I could see her struggling while he was strangelling her! I also love the height differences❤
I don’t usually like renditions of God Games where Athena and Ares are actually fighting eachother, but yours was so good it completely overshadows that! It perfectly shows how Ares and Athena represent different, opposing sides to war. Ares represents raw strength, courage, brute force, while Athena represebts cunning, strategy, wisdom, intelligence, thought. Ares starts choking Athena, and then literally using his weight and arm strength to ram her to the floor. Then he raises his fists, almost as if telling Athena to “man up”, and while she at first dodges and raises up her hands (which is the proper way to fight, by raising your fists to block and protect your face), he is able to land a couple hits. But then, as soon as Athena gets steady, she blocks with her palm and then grabs, and while im not entirely sure that’s a real martial arts move (i could be wrong), its often used to visually symbolize the superiority of someone who actually knows what they’re doing over someone who is overconfident in themselves and their strength. Then, after grabbing (literally getting a hold of the situation), she used a bit of her own strength but lets Ares’ own weight work against him and throws him at the wall. Ares and Athenas are both war gods, but they symbolize opposite aspects of it. Ares is brute force, Athena is strategy, and history has proven strategy always prevails over brute force.
Thanks! I only commission artists and post what they created online. You should also give some love for Red Puppet and other artists I have commissioned!
Me:Oh yes fight creature the Poseidon refuse to confront. This is why people like your sister better because she doesn’t send warriors to pointless death just to feed her bloodlust.
The reason why Ares is commonly depicted wearing his helmet is cause he is ashamed of his youthful face. He is unable to grow a beard, and a beard is a common signifier for being an adult.
Awe wittle ba'be..... who can rip my head apart
It’s very fitting for the god of war though. Young men were and are often the ones sent to fight.
its just funny to me to think that ares, the brutal god of war, has chronic babyface
Pleaseee tell me where you found this information, BEGGING ON MY HANDS AND KNEES.
@@clunkyinc.5156there is an ancient statue of Ares showing him as a very very young man. That painting also shows his balls. The more you know
I dunno if this is true or not, but red hair was a sign of beauty in Ancient Greece. To have that detail on Aphrodite is so cool!!
Yeah I think it was mentioned by Pythagores or some other famous dude that the epitome of beauty was red hair with blue eyes and a symmetrical face, that's also how Helen is supposed to look I believe
Which is funny since Athena’s voice actor is also a blue eyed red hair woman
@@baptistecarrio444 trueeeee
It is true. Rare characteristics were considered beautiful.

Perfect description of those two
I thought this was reference of how Athenea also beat him in a fight in Troya, and just like here Aphrodite put herself in between to protect him.
@@mado-wh4jvAthena whooped a lot of gods during the Trojan war , in fact most of them besides the big 3 were figthing each other in that war (I believe Athena fought ares alongside a Greek warrior and managed to make him bleed and flee)
hahah yes!! both of them are just up for battle with each other - ares attacks first and Athena up and THROWS him in retaliation
It was between Diomedes or Melaneus, I forgot which. But whicherver of them also injured Aphrodite first, since she was carrying her favorite Troy soldiers away from taking a fatal blow @togucvinw7
I love how it kinda seemed like Aphrodite was considering it before Ares intervened
You can even see tears in her eyes before as she thinks about it. Great details

in the illiad she is "grey-eyed Athene", so blue isnt far off!
THE BATTLE SENCE BETWEEN ATHENA AND ARES. BEST ANIMATIC EVER.
I got chills seeing Athena beat the crap out of Ares. Great job I loved it,
Straight yeeted ares
I really love this animatic!!!
First, yours is the first animatic I’ve seen that gives Aphrodite such pretty orange hair and I really love how much it compliments her pink aesthetic.

So overall 10/10 animatic for me! Great job!!! 💖✨🔥🗡️
Every sibling argument be like:
I LOVE JUST THE PRESENCE AND POWER YOU GAVE ARES IN THE ANIMATIC, LIKE WHAT??
AYO THEIR DESIGNS???? THE PETALS??? GIRLIE THIS IS AMAZING AAAAAA
Athena: can’t fight at first. Ares: Odysseys is bad. Athena: no? *fights him like a champ
LMAO I FUCKING LOST IT WHEN ATHENA THREW HIM LIKE HE WAS A FEATHER 🤣❤️
Also All eyes on Rafael 🍉

Love this animation and the way Ares came in swinging ✌️✨
At the end it looks like Athena is scolding them, which honestlt fits for her character and dynamic with Ares. Had me laughing tho
I love seeing these Animatics! Everyone's interpretations of the Gods is so cool!
Their interactions are just so dramatic 🤣
Good animation!
I love the way you have Athena taking hits then just yeeting her fellow God
The animations so fluid! LOVE THEIR COLORS!!!!!!!
The way she yeeted ares 😂
And so the Ares went YEET
You really did a great job at animating this because the designs are fabulous
Battle save point- _Ares smack talking Telemachus fills you with rage_
That *YEET* was personal XD go Athena!
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY DOES THIS NOT HAVE AS MUCH ATTENTION AS IT DESERVES?????
Yo why is ares drawn SO NICELY like its a mix of scary and confusing ‼️

just let ares watch what he does to the suitors. he'll love it
SHE SENT HIM FLYING MY GOD
Athena did not just yeet Ares! XD
Most normal brother and sister behavior
I LOVE THE MOVEMENTS AND EMPHASIS SO MUCH
This animatic had Ares just put *_HANDS_* on Athena & it fits his character so will I'm here for it
He really thought that he could beat the literal goddess of wisdom and battle strategy
"let him feel the pain his mother felt and ROT"
Ody's mother Ghost: I'll always love you~ (To Ody)
I love when people give Aphrodite flowers in her hair:]
Also Athena and Ares totally get into fist fights over things less meaningful than this
I’m sorry the way she rag dolls him made me cackle
I didnt expect aphrodites design! Its super interesting, having the no top but long skirt. Love it!
It’s a cool detail that Aphrodite is upset about this, because she’s the goddess of all love, including familial love
Oh my gosh this is so smooth, with so much personality
i want god games when it comes out to be longerrrr
Omg I’m surprised this hasn’t gotten much attention yet it’s so gooddd
Act 2 of EPIC has a much different vibe than Act 1. Super hyped now that it's sooner than ever
I absolutely adore them actually fighting, ans good gods that toss was STRONG
The body language when Ares was fighting Athena was amazing! I could see her struggling while he was strangelling her! I also love the height differences❤
