Penelope | The Challenge | EPIC: The Musical ANIMATIC

casually shows off drawing and animating skills

Personally, I love Argus. Best doggo in the greek Mythos.

She is way too good for him

Great animatic!

this might be a strange compliment but i love your penelope's hands are noy dainty at all. i love her whole design but that stood out to me 💖

I’m hoping Athena pops up tbh

I mean if he can’t come back I’ll gladly learn how to string a bow together 😭

Penelope is one of those characters that don’t get enough appreciation (and also get a lot of unwarranted slander). She is everything. She is smart, and calculated, and cunning. She was a sole queen in Ithaca for 20 whole years, first as essentially regent while her husband left for war, and then, when it started looking clear that the king wasn’t coming back, she kept holding the fort, in her son’s name (allegedly). She was powerful enough to hold that throne in her hands for 20 years, hold the kingdom functioning and prospering from said throne, resisting the many suitors trying to undermine her family’s claim (because what new king would allow the son of the old king to inherit him? No, if Penelope was to be married again for the claim to the throne, Telemachus would have been killed) for a decade. Every epithet relating to Odysseus’s cunning is just as fitting and potent for her, and I love that.

I know she is fictional but Penelope is the blueprint of divine femininity. Fair, strong willed,clever & loyal, one can only hope to be lucky enough to have someone like that in your life.

I like the “time to be the man of the house” which is a callback to a removed song from the musical. Now it’s an Easter egg.

If I was a queen and had to choose those guys for marriage, I would postpone it to, they aren’t kings they’re thugs.

Penelope: I don’t know how much longer I’ll last since we saw that storm,
And though it was so close to our kingdom it was far from the norm.
Unless, oh could it be some kind of sign,
That my world is all about to change. Is it finally time for the challenge I arranged.
Though I never thought that it would come to this just know I’ll be here buying you time.

Suitors: Time is fleeting, it’s running out. Time to be the man of the house.

Penelope: I’ll buy you time!

Suitors: Time is fleeting, it’s running out. Time to be the man of the house.

Loving this animatic, watching it on repeat.

You mentioned a full live version??? I need it for my continued survival, I'm pretty sure at this point

I can barely hear what are the lyrics?

WOW, I LOVE THIS JUST AS MUCH AS DONE FOR, MY OH MY

she's going to use his recurve bow! It's so cool to see the little references to the Iliad in this ^ ^ plus Penelope's expression in this are just flawless sis rlly said I don't have time for you fools

This is the best musical to ever exist except for the percy jackson musical. I stand by this statement.

Maaan this is nicee!

i dont know why these epic songs are so addictive, even the first time i heard it

I really hope that when this gets staged, penelope is constantly on stage weaving and unraveling.

The design of Penelope is beyond perfect. 😍❤

So when will they release the actual song?

Absolutely stunning, well-captured and dynamic yet elegant animatic

This is gorgeous! I love your animatics, I love your art style. ❤❤❤❤

I love all the designs here! Penelope, the suitors and Odysseus!

Ok I noted some stuff

1: The suitors seem drunk
2: Penelope looks like the f-ing queen of england
3: When it went from Penelope to Odysseus is just Chef Kiss

Here is the story!: Penelope was trying to find a man since she thought Odysseus was dead. She wanted to see who could string Odysseus’ bow. No one could. Odysseus was in a beggar costume and walked to Penelope, asking if he could try. The suitors doubted him, but he strung it with ease. Penelope cried with joy, seeing her husband has came back!!!

Ohh my goshh.. This is SO GORGEOUS... I can't even with this, oh my gosh.. Penelope's design is actually breathtaking, no wonder all of the suitors are so quick to want her, LOL..
No but seriously, you're so, so incredibly talented, and your works are always so gorgeous to see!! I can't wait to see more of it!!

The zoom in at the window 😭😭😭😭😭 I love them

No matter how many comments you got saying this, you did amazing! Don’t ever quit and you got a new subscriber!

I need more. Is there a full version?

This is such a master piece! Will you animate the whole song once it's released? I'd love to see it!

here to stan this absolute masterpiece. well done, gigi!!

I love your design for Penelope, absolutely stunning!

Bro, I need to know what that dress design is. Shit looks FIRE

She's so pretty

Penélope tan fuerte y decidida, hasta el final siguió con la esperanza de que Odiseo regresaría y fue genial su estrategia de dejarles el reto del arco.

My gosh la escena de Odiseo en el barco, al fin cerca de su amada Itaca, su esposa e hijo </3

i am so obsessed

I don't think this power couple gets enough appreciation. Like they're literally smart as fuck on their own but an avengers level threat if paired.

OAUWHGEUWGS 👹 I NEED. YOUR. HANDS.

What software do you use?

My Queen!!!!! Also Helen must be a work of art if she is prettier than Penelope. She’s gorgeous and serene. ❤

I love it it's amazing!

This song has also been eating up my brain, can't wait for the official release!! This is such a cool animatic, the transitions at the end are absolutely epic (haha), love your designs!

As cool as most of these animatics are, I wish there was at least one animatic that seems historically accurate. The story of Odysseus takes place during the late Bronze Age, which aesthetically speaking, looks vastly different from the classical Greek depictions of the Trojan war.
From the armor to the clothing, even the temples, palaces and houses they built.

Who else felt irritated when they saw the suitors in front of her door waiting for her to make a choice 🖐

There’s an old movie surely French , called Ulysses 1954 and the way the bow was made Miam . You could always use that as a reference if you’d like too

So beautiful!
