In the adventure of my silly Epic x Flight Rising crossover, it’s funny to me that in all of Epic, the songs I’ve had the most trouble planning an animatic for are Survive and Charybdis.
Maybe not That weird, it’s just funny to me. I would have expected one of the bigger climax-y god-focused songs would be a bigger headache, but I have fairly good ideas for all of those
The main problem with Survive and Charybdis is just: What dragon do??? Need to cast a dragon breed for both and??? Prorblem :(
For Polyphemus, both breeds I’m considering (Vigil/Dusthide) simply do not have club-gripping hands. So what do with interpreting the very clearly mentioned club.
A Vigil is now the most obvious choice, due to cyclops. But they definitely don’t have any sort of club or club-wielding capabilities due to chronic No Hands, and before Vigils released, I had cast Polyphemus as a Dusthide…I was going to do something like making his wings blend into his body, so when he’s in attacc mode, he just flings those out for clobbering time, and also starts hitting people with tail, and make them call that a club lol
And for Charybdis….??????? Not a clue. I’ve considered skipping the Charybdis fight entirely, but that feels like cheating.
There is a chance that a new Ancient breed will be released that would fit well. I think I need to just hope for that :’) Something that’s either all mouth or all tentacles lol. Bonus points for also being aquatic, but I can adapt it if not
Fortunately, in the grand scheme of making animatics for each song in order, it’ll be At Least a couple years before I actually need to think about Charybdis. Polyphemus is a little more pressing.
A delightful challenge all around, but a challenge nonetheless
