I find it kinda funny how despite Aeolus being a god, everyone draws them as a goddess because of the VA.

[@DreamlandRoses]

It’s also because Jorge looks for VA’s who can bring energy. And this voice actress fit the role regardless of gender

[@GracesGalaxy]

Yea, it was fun to design tho!

[@drongodyle3156]

I've actually got a design in mind that I might make and post eventually that's more of a high-energy kid. Would still fit with the VA, since it's not uncommon for young boys to be voiced by women.

[@hannaspychalska7351]

Gods of wind actually are often described as gender fluid - as any god they can change their appearance but it's more common for them to change. It basically means they can be both so it's totally normal for Aeolus to be depicted as a woman and most importantly - it's lore accurate!

[@dimensionenby3733]

Theres a reason I named myself after Aeolus, its not just cuz I respect and fear the winds as anyone in tornado territory should.

[@huabsibthaow2836]

Having the little cloud guys make the figures of Penelope and Telemachus was a cool idea!

[@GracesGalaxy]

Thank you!

I really love how Aeolus' eyes change throughout this

Thank you!

I particularly liked Odyseuss' dream segment

[@GracesGalaxy]

Thank you so much!!

[@alexfaircloth6050]

There is stellar talent present here that evokes feelings of whimsiness polluted with cracking trust. The sudden transition solidifies how fast things can change

[@rinsakami474]

Lovely Aeolus design! 😊

[@GracesGalaxy]

Thank you so much!

3:56 ah fuck what did we do to piss him off

[@carlthomaswilliamsjr.2995]

Odysseus: Oh crud what did we do to tick him off? 4:00

[@allie-cat-916]

yup.

[@Niko_does_art]

All the movement feels really smooth, I love it! And your Aolus design is awesome (Edit: typo)

[@GracesGalaxy]

Thanks!!! Much appreciated!

[@lifeofvadim]

Honestly, I prefer the depiction of Aeolus as a young boy. Both because of the playfulness and the original myth of Aeolus being male (I really like the myths, so inconsistencies like that annoy me a bit), but also because the voice really puts the image of a playful child into my head. Big applause to the VA there!

[@nix6196]

This is literally so Beautiful like you art is amazing

[@GracesGalaxy]

Thank you so much!!

[@iSleepyi.]

HOW LONG DID YOU SPEND IN ON THIS ITS SO NICELY ANIMATEDDD

[@GracesGalaxy]

Thanks you very much!! It took me a while, definitely a few weeks but it was taking so long I lost track lol

[@clansvgaming4616]

great animation keep it up

[@GracesGalaxy]

Thank you!!

[@cameronmcknight1525]

This style is soooo cute, I hope you make more. Small little point though, the crewman at 1:26 who greets Ody when he returns to the ship isn't Eurylochus. The guy sounds incredibly similar, but it is a totally different character named Perimedes.

[@GracesGalaxy]

Thanks! I missed that, thank you for letting me know!

[@cameronmcknight1525]

@@GracesGalaxy 🤣 When I first heard it, I missed it too. I think I only found out due to a random TikTok I came across.

[@Blue_flames12]

I love this animation

[@GracesGalaxy]

Thanks!

[@DinoGeekLOL]

Headcanon. Aeolus is a femboy.

[@GreatSmallestPuddle]

The fact that Aeolus is a guy
