So- like- what if I gave my Poseidon a humanoid form and a monstrous form, but the forms mean the complete opposite of each other (Human = Monster | Monster = Human)?
Cause- I had this idea for "Get In The Water" if I ever got into animatics. (Got some inspiration from Neal's animatic for context-)
So- it's the part where Odysseus is suggesting forgiveness. And this is the first time a mortal has seen a partially vulnerable side of Poseidon. It's not the human looking Poseidon mortals know and revere, but he's in his true form, holding a watery illusion of Polyphemus like a horse would its rider.
But before he says no, Poseidon looks to Odysseus, showing the man behind the god for the briefest of moments before letting the watery illusion fall into a puddle and Poseidon raises his walls once more. Turning into that humanoid form all mortals know him to have. and see for the rest of "Get In The Water" and into most of "600 Strike".
Then we see this form again in "600 Strike" again at the end because I genuinely like the idea someone had where Poseidon sounds so desperate because he is remembering being eaten by his father.
There is a cameo of this form in "Love in Paradise" since the gods do not uphold appearances amongst their own kind (deities/nymphs/fauns/et cetera). So Athena would see the silhouette of his true form in this idea of an animatic.
Anyway- I guess this is me saying I will design monstrous forms for all the gods along with their humanoid forms. I have put myself into a hole with this one, but I will accept my own decision and follow through with it.
I have never created an animatic before so I am unsure what would be the best to use between a phone and a chromebook as my only tools. I'll update when I get to it since there's a lot going on in my personal life. I'm doing what is simplest or keeps me in the flow of making art
