SOOO...WHAT THE HELL IS THIS

First off, I apologize for tagging artists, but you should know about this shit.

I'll quickly bring you up to speed.

YouTube has slowed down in Russia and the authorities are "recommending" to move to domestic platforms like Rutube, which of course can't compete with YouTube in any way.

So, even earlier my friends and I faced that our work was reuploaded to Rutube without our knowledge.

And this afternoon kind people, threw a couple of screenshots with reuploads to RuTube also other artists. I will attach all these screenshots to this post. Among the artists I know are: @anniflamma @gigizetz @wolfythewitch @mircsy

Unfortunately, RuTube has a very shitty system of copyright reports, where they ask you to provide your personal data (passport, address and DOCUMENTS that prove your copyright), so last time with friends this situation was let go, because there were no serious hits there.

Unfortunately, the only possibility now is to try to throw technical reports, but this is also unlikely to work. I will also attach links here for some animations

Don't ask me how I did it – I just did it – it was hard.

Late, late entry for @mircsy's 'draw this in your style'-challenge #AthenaDTIYSmircsy

That is as far as I got. So far. Might do reworks later. Actually my first DTIYS - never did one before, but I see the fun in it now. No, really, it was a lot of fun, I learned a ton with this, even if I'm not fully convinced of the result.

Also, when I saw mircsy post it, that was an 'immediate HELL, YES'-moment, because I love her art and designs so so so much. Her Polyphemus is who ultimately sold EPIC to me after a total of 3 seconds screentime. I am seriously amazed at the quality all artists and animators produce for the musical accompanying it on its journey to release, but mircsy's art was special.

👀 more yapping, WIPs and progress notes below 👀

It made me want to draw characters again, brought the fun back to drawing and painting for me, and somehow invited me put them out there, again - I can't put a lot of time into it, but I missed this as a joyful hobby and just watching the animatics breathed life back into it for me. So, this lil dtiys entry is a big heartfelt thanks for a nudge I bloody well needed.

So - if you ever read this, mircsy: Rock it all as hard as you can, superstar, make your mark and just enjoy the ride - you're cut out for it! ✨🎆 Wish you the very best for all your endeavours. 💜✨

Progress notes: I tried to challenge myself with this and do stuff out of my comfort zone (*cough* cell shade *cough*). A few things went well, and I am proud of those (metal parts, hands, wings, lineart, i finished it under 5 hours total, stars were fun) and other things I'll need to practise more (soft light + cell shading wtf was I thinking 🙈, glowy stuff, ornaments, less perfectionism, line dynamics, took more time out of me than expected ... (we don't talk about facial expression ahahaha its a nightmare 🙊 i really need to learn how to shade and light these kinds of angles omg 😨)).

As you can see above - the glowy stuff gave me the hardest nightmares, I had no fucking clue how to do that - that was fun, but also took so much time to figure out. Once I had a concept, it went down fast, but up until then... bzzzzzt braindefunct - it's inspired by the Antikythera Mechanism in the end, so Athena can make complicated astronomical calculus while in quick thought to see where Ody ended up.

... her mouth changes in every single picture... 😭🙈

The animatics for Epic the Musical helped me understand the story more. More specifically, which characters were singing because when I tell you I had no clue that in the first song, The Horse and the Infant the god that gives Odysseus that vision was Zeus?! I didn't realize this until the Thunder Saga, when I heard the same voice. I also had no clue when Polites died. I just stopped hearing his voice and wondered why he had no more lines, then I started seeing TikTok's, and then I saw another animatic and it showed how, and yes, I didn't figure it out till.... last week.

Look I don't remember the original story too well and I also am not good at finding theses kind of clues just by listening to the music.

So I guess I'm saying, thank you to all the talented artists for making these amazing animatics. Because your girl was LOST lol.

End of the year thoughts

Epic still hits for me a year later and I wanted to think through a few reasons why. 1. The vocal talent!!!!!! Everyone’s voice fits their characters so well and they all sound amazing! Also social media allowed them to find minor artists easily, even ones on different continents like Calypso’s va!

2. The range of musical styles! No words it’s just incredible

3. The amazing artists who take their own interpretation and bring it to life! The talent in this community paired with the near-constant release of animatics keeps things exciting! I wanted to give some shoutouts to my favorites below!

Gigi - the og, has made the most, is the best to show to potential fans, I always end up picturing her Odysseus @gigizetz

Mircsy - the details in her animatics are absolutely mind blowing and she’s working on Remember Them as we speak @mircsy

Neal Illustrator - her character designs are truly stellar and her world building is on another level! She’s made a whole webtoon, Famtheon, just to flesh out her characters! I’ve fallen in love with her stories and can’t wait to see more from her @neal-illustrator

I decided to do @mircsy DTIYS challenge!

I decided to do this is my Athena design with different elements of the original and Mircsy’s own design.

It’s kinda funny tho cuz I tried a new style of rendering for something that’s supposed to be done in my style lol. This was fun tho and I’m really happy with how it turned out. I stayed up all night to do this too 😭 I didn’t realize what time it was when I finished.

I just wanna say how much respect I have for those who do drawings/animations for epic

@mircsy

My attempt at drawing this in my own style. I'm still new to digital art but i learnt a lot while working on this. :)

It's very similar to the original art but my style isn't too different from mircsy's.

Hey I’m new to Greek mythology since I got into Epic a few months ago so this might sound dumb but what does the snake symbolize? The one on the golden apple on your art

hello!! sorry i never saw this 😭 the snake is meant to represent the serpents that gave cassandra and helenus powers!
