- In a flash, clarity struck. He had to get back, at all costs.
Thank you all who watched my previous animatics! For this snippet of Thunder Bringer, I took a different approach than what I did for my full Ruthlessness animatic. Again, this is non-canon! Just my interpretation and feelings of musical moments put down into animatic form.

Ramblings below if you so wish to read them:
After the moment Zeus said "Choose," it was less about Zeus for me, who I kept visually separated from the 'mortal affairs' beneath him, and more about Odysseus' struggle to make a choice. I wanted to dive more into that feeling. Hence, while in Ruthlessness I explored Poseidon's character, in this half of Thunder Bringer, I was drawn to explore Odysseus'.
To me, the thunder and lightning brought a moment of clarity. Who was he fighting for? I stretched out time and gave him visions, not because time really slowed or he was really seeing anything, but because I wanted to explore that split second moment it clicked for him that he had made his decision. And afterwards, the terrifying and terrible realization that that was the only choice if he was to make it back to his family. The guilt and grief at the temptation. The true siren song.
Even so, I do dislike how little we see of Zeus there, haha. But that design choice was just how my storyboarding turned out - I prioritized my exploration of Odysseus over Zeus. If I were to ever make the first half of Thunder Bringer, I would absolutely explore more of Zeus' character, beyond the "above thou" mentality that I stuck with here. He is, after all, brothers with the more expressive Poseidon I depicted in Ruthlessness, haha - some things are bound to make his mask slip.
Thanks for reading all that if you had! Given my limited time outside of work and life to draw animatics, I've decided not to finish Different Beast, but perhaps one day I will share the unfinished frames here. Next animatic I'm tackling is No Longer You!
Also wow, what a roller coaster Ithaca saga was. Amazing and beautiful finish!!
Song used: 2nd half of "Thunder Bringer", Epic the Musical by Jorge Rivera-Herrans

I like how Zeus didn't even come down from where he was.. also the imposing size of him. He looks like he IS the sky in some shots. Chills, chills all around
Thank you for liking the scale of my Zeus!! And glad to hear my animatic evoked some chills too! 🌩️🌩️🌩️
1:32 OH MY GOD! THIS PART!!! LIKE- HOW IS ODY'S HAIR PULLING UP BECAUSE OF THE ELECTRICITY OF THE THUNDER!!! 😍😍😭😭😭
YAY! Thank you so much for liking that part!! 🌩️🌩️🌩️
I clicked SO fast. I love your interpretation of Zeus here and Sirenope's reprise. Love me an Ody who isn't struggling to choose, but struggling that he's already chosen.
Yay! Thank you so much for enjoying my interpretations!! (And for clicking fast, haha) 🌩️🌩️🌩️
I love how you made Odysseus's hair stand up as they're about to get struck!!
Thank you for enjoying that detail!! 🌩️🌩️🌩️
You cooked. Love the similarities between Zeus and Poseidon, showing that that theyre indeed brothers. Also, Zeus never became small is such a nice touch
Thank you so much!! 🌩️🌩️🌩️ And thanks for noticing the brotherly similarities, haha - Back when I was designing him, I remember thinking, "gaunt with a pointy beard, like Poseidon, but less pointy" 😂
@@Tamathetamago If can cook something for Odysseus, my life is yours. Would love to see your interpretation of monster Ody.
@@khoinguyen5004 Oh dang, Odysseus would be a good animatic to tackle -I can add it to the list of potential ones I'm deciding between! xD And all good, your life should be yours!!
This snippet was amazing as it clear that Ody had already chosen but is horrified that is going to let his comrades die. I love how Zeus is towering from the sky above he never makes himself small nor gets on their level as he is judgement. It has already been decided someone must die for the crimes but gives Odysseus the choice despite knowing exactly what that choice is with the lightening Penelope.
And the way Eury just stares wide eyed but doesn't attack. Unable to move as his captain and friend sends him and the crew to die, and in a sense he likely knows it his own fault. After all, he's the one that killed the cow and opened the wind bag. It makes you wonder how he feels in that final moment.
Thank you so much for enjoying those moments and writing this all out!! This song had such good orchestration and composition of those heavy moments, and I wanted to highlight those feelings through the animatic. Glad to hear you felt it! 🌩️🌩️🌩️
I love the way you depicted this scene, Tama!! When Zeus told him to choose, it wasn't even a decision for Ody. His mind was made (literally) in a flash 0:48. When he turns toward the crew, there's no struggle on his face, only resignation. You drew out that feeling on his face perfectly!!
YAY!! Thank you, Toshi! Happy to hear that expression carried through! 🌩️🌩️🌩️
I am SHOCKED that this doesn’t have more likes!! I love the use of clouds and lightning. Everything about this animatic is absolutely breathtaking!!
Eeyy- Thank you so much! Happy to hear you think this deserves more likes! 🌩️🌩️🌩️
Oh my f-- this is beautiful! Everything is beautiful! The shading, the charas, my gwad the lightning strikes forming shapes damn 👀✨ good job really!
I love when people make Eurylochus stay behind and not attacking- I prefer it that way as he is the one that caused... A lot of tyings-
Bravo ! 🙏
Thank you so much for thinking everything is beautiful!! 🌩️🌩️🌩️ And I also really enjoy when creators keep Eury behind in that moment!
Lovely
Thank you! 🌩️🌩️🌩️
Penelope made out of lightning ooooooohhhh this is such a beautiful animatic
Thank you so much for thinking so! 🌩️🌩️🌩️
Ahhhh so good 🤯😭
The ending was so cute and sad
Thank you so much!! 🌩️🌩️🌩️
Ody's face on "I know" was heartbreaking. Well done.
Thank you!! Facial expressions are hard, so I'm glad this one came across well! 🌩️🌩️🌩️
This is Epic :)
Haha - Thank you!! 🌩️🌩️🌩️
I got goosebumps watching this O.O
Oh dang - Glad to hear this animatic had such an effect! 🌩️🌩️🌩️
Zues is so cool in this! The way he is so tall that he takes up the sky. Something about him gave super powerful and imposing god vibes. Plus the details of everything! I could talk about this forever
Eyy- Thank you so much for watching, and glad to hear you enjoyed this depiction of Zeus too!! 🌩️🌩️🌩️
Wow! Love the separation between Zeus and humans - the hands reaching down!! Thank you!
Oh dang, a 'thank you' to me? Thank YOU for watching and enjoying those moments!! 🌩️🌩️🌩️
😭😭😭😭 loved the lightning flash silhouetting him
Thank you Jeyyyy!! 😁🌩️🌩️🌩️
Cool Zeus design and i liked that when the lightning came Odsyseus hair stands up.
Thank you for liking his design and that moment! 🌩️🌩️🌩️
joder,es cine,que buen algoritmo me toco 🗣
Haha - Thank you for thinking so! (And thank you to the algorithm!) 🌩️🌩️🌩️
this is so goooood!!! I love all the little touches of your own ideas sprinkled in, like him seeing the hands of the ghosts in the electricity, and penelope and telemachus at the end
Yay! Thank you so much for watching and enjoying all those moments!! 🌩️🌩️🌩️
Dang, this is so good, especially the use of dark and light, as others have stated. It's a shame it's only a snippet, not the whole song, but so far it's one of the best I've seen for this song.
Eyy- Thank you for watching and enjoying it! Glad to hear you consider this snippet highly! 🌩️🌩️🌩️
Brilliant work!! I adore how you make gods so Big, your Ruthlessness is a favourite of mine for the scale you got across there, and this Zeus and thunderstorm are no different!
Eyy- Thank you so much for liking the scale of my gods!! And glad to hear you really like my Ruthlessness too! 🌩️🌩️🌩️
i eat all of your animatics like they're 5 stars dishes i love your compositions and use of light so much!!
Yay!! Thank you so much for enjoying the compositions and lighting! 🌩️🌩️🌩️
THIS IS SO GOOD
Thank you!! 🌩️🌩️🌩️
YOU ARE TOO UNDERATTED
On god
Eyy - Thank you for thinking that! 🌩️🌩️🌩️
This is the first time I watch your animation and it was the best decision I’ve ever made. I’m following you now. I really love the art style and detail you put in here!!💗
Thank you so much for watching and enjoying this animatic! 🌩️🌩️🌩️ Super appreciate the follow, and glad you like the art style!
AMAZING. I only regret there isn't more for me to gush over as It is FANTASTIC.😫😩🥰💕🎆
The way Zeus didn't even deign to come down and grace them with his presence,Sirenolepe and Ody's hair rising due to the electricity... It was all brilliant and well thought out.
Yay!! Thank you so much for the high praise! Super appreciate that you enjoyed all those moments! 🌩️🌩️🌩️
❤
🌩️🌩️🌩️
I just love how u make God in epic universe so majestic! The way u put no expression on Zeus face, shesss that so chilling! And how big he is, god i love it so much!
Eyy- Thank you so much for liking my Zeus design!! 🌩️🌩️🌩️
THIS IS SO GOOD!!! omg Ody's expressions, seeing Penelope and Telemachus at the end...ahh perfect!
Thank you so much for watching and liking those moments!! 🌩️🌩️🌩️
I would personally want Odysseus to choose a team without the influence Zeus magic. It would be more frightening, or something, it would confirm the words of Ody in "I am just a man" "I would give a whole world to meet my son and wife". Introponizog the words of siren that when he returned home, everything will work out
Ooh - That'd be an interesting change in the story! Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 🌩️🌩️🌩️
I LOVE the solemn solitude of your Odysseus 🥺 the voices being from the dead.... omg. really hit such good emotions!!!
Edit: Really been thinking about this animatic... I love that the focus is *not* on Zeus (until he is Destroying them) he is just the instrument in this portrayal of Odysseus betraying the crew
Thank you so much, and I'm glad that you're thinking about this animatic! Always happy when the emotions come across! 🌩️🌩️🌩️
yoooo holy shit this is so amazing!!! all of your work is incredible but this is mind blowing - the slow mo, zeus in the clouds, penelope in the water, the dynamic shots ITS ALL SO GOOD 🔥🔥🔥
Oh dang - Thank you so much for liking my work!! Super appreciate that you liked all those moments!! 🔥🔥🔥
I need a full animation soon please 😭😭
Thanks for wanting more of this! Not sure yet if I want to make the full version, haha - stay tuned! 🌩️🌩️🌩️
Beautiful work tama, love it!!
Thank you Astal!! 🌩️🌩️🌩️
THIS WAS INSANE, ITS MY FAVORITE ANIMATIC OF THUNDER BRINGER AND IS JUST AN SNIPPET
Oh dang- Thank you so much for the high praise!! 🌩️🌩️🌩️
YOOOO, THIS ZEUS LOOKS SO COOL
He's a literal force of nature, and it truly shows he's actually the most powerful god in the Greek pantheon (besides Nyx, even Zeus is scared of her)
AND EURY NOT ATTACKING ODY, JUST LOOKING HIM STRAIGHT IN THE EYE! 😭
Eyy- Thank you so for liking how I portrayed Zeus, Eury and Ody!! 🌩️🌩️🌩️
This was whoooooa, I love the hand coming through the clouds, super cool. All these amazing animatics still dropping so many artists I gotta try and follow support and watch their stuff. One day I'll try but trad artist so save the trees XD
Thank you so much! 🌩️🌩️🌩️ And yesss, there are so many awesome creators in this fandom, haha - definitely try your hand at animatics one day too!
@@Tamathetamago I definitely wanna do that. Plan is for story time animations because less frames to start with, but I am planning on making the first story time talking about EPIC because you guys are so iconic in this fandom, for all of you to have this creativity in your own interpretations and just spoil the fans like you do. I haven't seen a unison of fans being this uplifting in ages, it's super wholesome.
@JdeeArt_NZ IKR, the Epic fandom is pretty awesome! And I'm honored you think I'm cool enough to be part of the iconic Epic animatic creators! Good luck and have fun with the storyboarding!
SHOOTTTTT THAT SO COOL!!!
The emotions in this were so raw 😭😭
Thank you! Glad to hear the emotions came through! 😭🌩️
Gorgeous!
