ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE GLOWING IS CALYPSOS HAIR!! I remember in Gigi animatics when she was saying who she was her hair started to glow purple!! Very awesome!
I love seeing everyone’s designs for these characters when making their fanarts and animatics! It’s so awesome seeing any fandom be creative, and since there’s so much mythology behind this, people’s designs and how they picture the characters in this musical can be so varied and always so, so fun!!
Yes! It really is so cool to see how many different people make things look. Currently I'm absolutely obsessed with Anniflama's Eldritch monstrosity of an angry Poseidon and the fact that they basically crammed every Apollo myth into their design of him and still made it work (my favorite little tidbit is that he has one of those charms, like the ones you hook on a bag, on an anklet and on his lyre, made up of the flowers that represent himself and his lovers!)
Honestly i hope the animators for those commissions end up completing their animatics with those designs. Like id pay for fully cannon animatics with Jorge's seal of approval.
I love these videos because whenever I rewatch things, then I notice more and more details. This community is so amazing, thank you Jorge for this musical.
As someone who is also highly attuned to little details and loves making connections through them in my own work, I adore it when other people do the same! You are fantastic, Jorge! Know that we notice these subtleties and they make us ecstatic!
Dude, your work is truly GOD-LIKE, no pun intended. I really think EPIC is the coolest thing I've seen and heard all year. Your passion for your project is truly a joy to witness, keep on with your greatness, sir. You're no doubt a champion of The Muses. Cheers!
I still can’t believe I’m here right now, WHILE this legend ist being created. In ten years I’m gonna tell the theater kids how I saw EPIC at its very beginnings I really love your art, please never stop being so recklessly awesome.❤
I love listening to epic on shuffled :') Ody goes on the most random adventures. One moment Hermes is psyching him up to battle Circe, the next he's throwing a child off a balcony.
The more you explain about your music and characters development, the more inspired I get to design costumes for if the musical ever gets to be on a stage! I have a few drawn already but I'd love to do more, and I hope I can someday make them a reality- whether they're concepts of my own or yours ❤
I have been so confused with Aeolus gender cause in the myths it’s a grumpy old dude but in Epic I thought they were a girl. Now I’m even more confused
Something I think is neat (and probably intentional) is that Odysseus's Guitar becomes more electric rather than acoustic when he is less "man" and more "monster/captain". It echoes his "I am neither man nor mythical" line really well and the juxtaposition of his guitar's many "sounds" lend well to this mantra, that he sort of sits between the magical and the practical worlds.
I love hot Jorge breaks everything down, his enthusiasm and excitement is so infectious and it just makes me wanna create❤❤❤❤ keep creating Jay, you’re amazing
I did not expect to see Tron: Legacy as part of the visual inspiration for some of the character designs, but now that it is pointed out I can very clearly see it's influence. 100% underrated film, that one... great source of inspo. indeed!
I loved that he talked about the character designs. One of my favorite parts of all of EPIC. I have to say, Tron is a really good movie and the shiny details on the costumes are really GOOD✨ The level of detail and planning in this is so great and incredible!
Tron legacy was one of my favourite shows, too!! Also, my friend and I LIVE for and LOVE the music you make, so keep it up!! Half the music in my liked songs on Spotify is from epic, and you were COOKING with the wisdom saga!!
love to see some love for TRON: Legacy!! I always thought the visual design of that movie was peak. Combo-ing electronic music and glow lined costumes is a perfect choice
I was at the Renaissance fair today and one of the vendors was playing "different beast" in their shop and We sat and geeked out about you and the musical for I little while. That interaction made my day!
I love how much thought is out behind every aspect of the musical...the association of instruments, colours and light with humanity and divinity is genius...I'm gonna go cry because of how awesome my brain feels watching all of it happen in front of my eyes...🥺💜😭✨
i love Mr jalapeno talks!!! it's so fun to hear you talk about the characters and the story, and you're so passionate and excited about what you're doing. please keep doing more!
I love this so much! Have you ever thought of making an animated series of epic? Each song is an episode and each saga is a season. The character designs are amazing and epic is a masterpiece.
Theory! Mr. Jalepeño just explained the technology/glow = magic. Going back to the animatic at the end of Wisdom Saga, the music is just a piano (no technology) and Athena’s glow disappears. What if, and hear me out, Athena does not die there, but has become mortal. This wouldn’t be the first deviation from the source material and Athena could still fulfill the mentor role she takes in the second half of the Odyssey. But that’s just a theory… A MUSICAL THEORY!
Honestly a cool way for epic to be visually represented imo would be involve a large majority of the animatic creators working together from the start to the end to bring epic to life as an animation. I know they already do that. But i mean something more like a movie project between them, i think it would be very sick. Since those wonderful people are also the ones who showed us those amazing characters visually
these videos are so interesting! i love hearing about all the thought thats put in behind the scenes. and i can sound smart telling my friends about it
I agree with every choice, but the horse motif from the Ruthlessness animatic where it's galloping around and looks dark and mystical is still amazing to me.
I realized something with this, odysseus is expressed by an electric guitar, which is a non-electric instrument being brought through an electrical unit (not sure the definition.). Which overtime is lessened to a regular guitar if I remember properly, which could be a reference to divine influence and Athena's training. GOD. THIS MUSICAL IS SO GENIUS.
Your design in Epic helped me alot with my own story that I am working on especially Athena's quick thought, I'm thinking about adding the quick thought and adding some more details
That's it, that's my new goal in life. I am actively aiming to become Epic's official character designer (I would say costume but me and sewing don't exactly go together)
I need epic to be an animated musical SO bad, stage would be great too but seeing that epic has so many magical elements, it would be really hard to capture the beauty of this musical on stage. Animated would be perfect
This is so cool to know! I have been listening and ranting about Epic for days! And ironically, I sent a message to my sister about Circe's design not much ago kkk I seriously loved the design's for Epic, It show's how epic this musical is (pun intended)
The other thing that makes me love Epic so much more it's cause I'm Brazilian, and singing songs from this musical while understanding them makes me realize that my English improved. Thank you so much Jay!
Genuinely if he made a podcast explaining every detail of this musical I would listen to it every second of every day
YES ON LOOP
YESSSSSSSS
God yes please jorge
GOD YES
Fr
Ohhhh, so that's why when calypso reveals she is a godess, she glows for a few seconds in the animatic, pretty cool!
her music also gets more electronic in that specific section too!!
Yoooo that’s so cool :0
And the music also get electronic and more modern. I love this details so much
GUYS JORGE IS EXPLAINING HIS CHARACTER!!!Yaaaaay😁
YEAH 🎉🎉🎉
YUHHH🎉🎉🎉🎉
🥳🥳🥳
i love the fact that mr jalapeño commissions from artists in the community, that honestly is so respectable
I wanna be one of them honestly-
The glowing part of their designs are so good, genuinely one of my favorite design aspects
The amount of time and energy Jorge puts into every aspect of Epic is commendable!
Its almost like... he has devine help. 😏
@@RayGainbowsohhh I love that dad joke 😭
I love listening to him talk, his voice is so nice and he’s so passionate about what he’s talking about ❤
His happiness is contagious
ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE GLOWING IS CALYPSOS HAIR!! I remember in Gigi animatics when she was saying who she was her hair started to glow purple!! Very awesome!
Jorge infodumping and yapping about his own musical always makes me laugh 😭♥️
Jorge is so passionate about the smallest details in EPIC, I really love seeing him talk about them.
I love seeing everyone’s designs for these characters when making their fanarts and animatics!

WOOO JAY TALKING ABOUT CHARACTERS!! I love all of his talks about the thought process behind all the songs 💯💯
I'm trying to turn EPIC into an actual play for my college event
A play only a hundred people will ever see
dude can you please have someone record it, i wanna watch
Pls record that would be so cool!
Oh, so that’s why Scylla’s human part of her body is just glowing pure white
I'm calling it now: we're seeing the beginnings of one of the best musicals ever, in both the music and visual arenas. What a time to be alive!
HI MR JALAPEÑO!
Epic is amazing and I’m so glad to have been able to see it as it comes out
Technology = Magic
Love how simple yet complex that sounds
I love the character designs are so good! It makes it so that when im listening to the gods music im just loving it!
I love hearing more information about EPIC! When Jorge mentioned the glowing, I immediately remembered that Calypso's hair glows purple
I love these videos because whenever I rewatch things, then I notice more and more details. This community is so amazing, thank you Jorge for this musical.
As someone who is also highly attuned to little details and loves making connections through them in my own work, I adore it when other people do the same! You are fantastic, Jorge! Know that we notice these subtleties and they make us ecstatic!
The designs are probably the best part of anything, and definitely one of the best in EPIC
Dude, your work is truly GOD-LIKE, no pun intended. I really think EPIC is the coolest thing I've seen and heard all year. Your passion for your project is truly a joy to witness, keep on with your greatness, sir. You're no doubt a champion of The Muses. Cheers!
I still can’t believe I’m here right now, WHILE this legend ist being created. In ten years I’m gonna tell the theater kids how I saw EPIC at its very beginnings
I really love your art, please never stop being so recklessly awesome.❤
Oh most definitely telling my future nieces and nephews/my siblings who’d be 10-16 in 10 years about this musical and my obsession over its origin 😂
Honestly love all the details put into EPIC all the ppl who keep finding random easter eggs in random games and shows must love EPIC😅
imagine this being an actual performed musical
You really thought of the character design really well! Not to mention how they stick out from most yet fit by description
I love listening to epic on shuffled :') Ody goes on the most random adventures. One moment Hermes is psyching him up to battle Circe, the next he's throwing a child off a balcony.
His enthusiasm is soooo cute! I'm so grateful he's shared his passion and talent with us!! 🥰
The artists are just so good at capturing the character traits
The more you explain about your music and characters development, the more inspired I get to design costumes for if the musical ever gets to be on a stage! I have a few drawn already but I'd love to do more, and I hope I can someday make them a reality- whether they're concepts of my own or yours ❤
woah i never knew that these designs were that heavily based off the music lmao
Best musical out there
LITERALLY
1:45 WHAT AEOLUS IS A GIRL AND NOT A TWINK FEMBOY??
this is such a funny comment you know what aeolus can be a twink just for you
Lol
I have been so confused with Aeolus gender cause in the myths it’s a grumpy old dude but in Epic I thought they were a girl. Now I’m even more confused
@@IgnisInvicta I just always envisioned Aeolus as a playful twink femboy lol
Something I think is neat (and probably intentional) is that Odysseus's Guitar becomes more electric rather than acoustic when he is less "man" and more "monster/captain". It echoes his "I am neither man nor mythical" line really well and the juxtaposition of his guitar's many "sounds" lend well to this mantra, that he sort of sits between the magical and the practical worlds.
Speaking of designs, having the subtitles light up the specific words that are being said is incredibly helpful, and an absolute stroke of genius!!!
YESS!!! Character design is one my favourite aspects of creative projects like these.
I love hot Jorge breaks everything down, his enthusiasm and excitement is so infectious and it just makes me wanna create❤❤❤❤ keep creating Jay, you’re amazing
I did not expect to see Tron: Legacy as part of the visual inspiration for some of the character designs, but now that it is pointed out I can very clearly see it's influence. 100% underrated film, that one... great source of inspo. indeed!
If we ever get a stage production, THESE OUTFITS WILL GO HARD
I've never been the biggest fan of the canon zeus design, but that is really cool
I loved that he talked about the character designs. One of my favorite parts of all of EPIC. I have to say, Tron is a really good movie and the shiny details on the costumes are really GOOD✨ The level of detail and planning in this is so great and incredible!
We need an EPIC podcast with everyone involved talking about EPIC and every little detail about it
Tron legacy was one of my favourite shows, too!! Also, my friend and I LIVE for and LOVE the music you make, so keep it up!! Half the music in my liked songs on Spotify is from epic, and you were COOKING with the wisdom saga!!

As an artist I really love and respect the detail Jay and others have put into the character designs of this musical!!!! :)
I love how much thought is out behind every aspect of the musical...the association of instruments, colours and light with humanity and divinity is genius...I'm gonna go cry because of how awesome my brain feels watching all of it happen in front of my eyes...🥺💜😭✨
Jorge needs to make his own podcast on “epic the musical character and music designs”
i love Mr jalapeno talks!!! it's so fun to hear you talk about the characters and the story, and you're so passionate and excited about what you're doing. please keep doing more!
These gods be ✨glowing✨
I love this so much! Have you ever thought of making an animated series of epic? Each song is an episode and each saga is a season. The character designs are amazing and epic is a masterpiece.
Now I imagined the eye of Polyphemus as a giant kind of prosthetic or mechanical eye that glows with the gears inside
“Every god has a glow” His text lines were glowing… JORGE UR A GOD
HE MENTIONED TRON OMG. JORGE YOU’RE LITERALLY MY FAVORITE. TRON legacy is so underrated i feel. I love how tech = magic. Brilliant
I love Aphrodite's introduction music in God Games, when Zeus announces their names. That underlay of electric guitar...ooft.❤❤❤
It’s fun seeing how all the artists draw the gods. One interpretation of Poseidon I saw really delved in how he was a god of horses as well
The first time I saw Zeus I said “Oh, he looks like he’s straight out of Mortal Kombat. And I dig it”
Hey!!! It's our favorite news anchor!!
They really look amazing! The animators are so talented ❤❤❤
Tron: Legacy being mentioned makes me sooo happy!! Keep up the awesome work on this awesome project!!
I also live how Calypso's hair glowed when she said "bow down now to the immortal Calypso"
Love that Hephaestus has working gloves made of GLOWING BRONZE, That's actually so cool
I’m so glad that he usually posts when I come out of school now, so I could see his posts right away when I check my phone.
THIS IS LITERALLY SO COOL OMG WHAT- 😮 JORGE UR LITERALLY SO TALENTED AND U DESERVE SO MUCH ❤❤
I love the winion designs smmmm😭
The amount of detail in epic is just fascinating
"Technology = magic"
Is up there with "physics isnt a real thing"
as some of the best jorge out of context quotes
Love all these design details! 😆
Love the Tron look, it’s SO COOL! 😁
Theory!
Mr. Jalepeño just explained the technology/glow = magic. Going back to the animatic at the end of Wisdom Saga, the music is just a piano (no technology) and Athena’s glow disappears. What if, and hear me out, Athena does not die there, but has become mortal.
This wouldn’t be the first deviation from the source material and Athena could still fulfill the mentor role she takes in the second half of the Odyssey.
But that’s just a theory… A MUSICAL THEORY!
The animatics this saga were seriously amazing 🤯🥳
The funny thing is that I was listening to the wisdom saga when you posted this😂😂
Please keep rambling to us about the cool things you’ve made it’s so cool
I need a podcast explaining even the smallest details in epic!!
Honestly a cool way for epic to be visually represented imo would be involve a large majority of the animatic creators working together from the start to the end to bring epic to life as an animation. I know they already do that. But i mean something more like a movie project between them, i think it would be very sick. Since those wonderful people are also the ones who showed us those amazing characters visually
He’s so dedicated to epic it’s amazing 😭😭
I absolutely love the concept for the designs that are in Epic!
The funniest thing is that Hephaestus' design reminds me of my iron ahahaha
I love the concept of each god having a different glow colorrrrr.
It's so cool
Jorge infodumping about his musical is always a great time
these videos are so interesting! i love hearing about all the thought thats put in behind the scenes. and i can sound smart telling my friends about it
Whenever I see a winion, it just reminds me of how much I need a winion plushie!! I love them soooo much ❤❤
Take a sip of water every time he says glow .... Peak hydration.
I agree with every choice, but the horse motif from the Ruthlessness animatic where it's galloping around and looks dark and mystical is still amazing to me.
“In super simplified terms for the most part, technology equals magic” - Odysseus, pointing a gun at Circe.
I realized something with this, odysseus is expressed by an electric guitar, which is a non-electric instrument being brought through an electrical unit (not sure the definition.). Which overtime is lessened to a regular guitar if I remember properly, which could be a reference to divine influence and Athena's training. GOD. THIS MUSICAL IS SO GENIUS.
I've always absolutely loved this concept of "non natural" or electronic music = mythical or godly characters is just a great concept overall
Babes, wake up! Jorge is rambling about his musical again!!
Your design in Epic helped me alot with my own story that I am working on especially Athena's quick thought, I'm thinking about adding the quick thought and adding some more details
i really love getting to hear about your process ❤the technology = magic thing is brilliant. also love the glow colors!!
TRON: LEGACY IS LITERALLY MY FAVORITE MOVIE THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY YOU HAVE NO IDEA😱🤩🥳
I like that the Gods' designs resemble superhero uniforms.
This is very cool. Epic has inspired me to try to write an Ancient Greek novel.
That's it, that's my new goal in life. I am actively aiming to become Epic's official character designer (I would say costume but me and sewing don't exactly go together)
i love the idea that more modern/technological designs are for gods
I love the character designs so I’m really happy you made a video on it!
I need epic to be an animated musical SO bad, stage would be great too but seeing that epic has so many magical elements, it would be really hard to capture the beauty of this musical on stage. Animated would be perfect
This is so cool to know! I have been listening and ranting about Epic for days! And ironically, I sent a message to my sister about Circe's design not much ago kkk
I seriously loved the design's for Epic, It show's how epic this musical is (pun intended)
The other thing that makes me love Epic so much more it's cause I'm Brazilian, and singing songs from this musical while understanding them makes me realize that my English improved. Thank you so much Jay!
Jorge is the 3rd person I heard that says something good about Tron Legacy. I love you Mr. Jalapeño
If you don't get Gunnar Deathrage (a TH-camr/TikToker who makes AMAZING clothing creations) to bring these to life, istg I'll cry.
