I watched your animatic in the Underworld Saga listening party and I gotta say:

One, you're a genius and deserve the world.

Two, how does it feel to animate Odysseus' meeting with his mother in the Underworld? It was simple yet I cried every time I saw it :'))))

Firstly, the genius is Jorge🐸🗣️ I just drew what he told me his vision was

Secondly, I enjoyed every second working on those few frames because I knew it will make everyone cry. I drink the tears of the winions LMAO /j

Does anyone know btw whether the stream would be uploaded? My mum would like to see it🥹👍

#thank you for keeping me hydrated with your tears #epic the musical #the underworld sagÁ #jorge rivera herrans #the odyssey #odysseus #greek mythology #I lost my soul a long time ago /j #mircsy

ACK! Thinking about abandoning the KYFC project and "Wouldn't You Like" animatic idea for a while and making at least a short animatic to "The Underworld" 'cause the ideas are drowning me

Proof that jujutsu sorcerers and curses are just ancient Greeks with magic:

they rip off their clothes when they start to fight

Odysseus? Is that you?

#joke post #but for real now why do they do that? #jujutsu kaisen #sukuna #aoi todo #anime #ancient greek #odysseus #the odyssey #anime logic: the less clothing you have the more powerful you are

Me, when I buy red make-up and eyeliner

How fortunate I don’t have red eyes, then I would fear some certain gods would try to bother me while I’m slaying

Of course wrestling is gay! /lh It was invented by an ANCIENT GREEK GOD (Hermes)

And how in the how would I not draw Odysseus and Diomedes in this pose after the conversation that took place on the EPIC Writing server a while ago?

(Not to mention that I accidentally swapped their arms in the drawing, comparing it to the original meme lmao)

quite some months ago, i could not recall memnon’s name but had remembered some mention that he was considered to be the most handsome (i’m realizing it may have been among the most handsome). however, it was not his wiki page that appeared first.

#FACT #diomedes #iliad #the iliad #trojan war #greek mythology #tagamemnon #i’m not biased for Diomedes at all… *nervous monkey muppet side-eyes*

[mircsy]

me: I should study language history, prepare for a presentation about the ethical questions of euthanasia, continue working on my KYFC animatic

also me: *ends up looking at pictures of Ezio Auditore for one hour straight*

HOWEVER, I found my new ultimate favourite shot of him:

#mircsy brainstorm #ezio auditore #assassin's creed #I love this man too much like should he cross my way on the street and calls to go with him I’m leaving everything at that instant #I don’t care he has a wife and two kids I’ll live in his vineyard #When someone asks me where I am going I just look into Ezio’s eyes and say: Home…

Pov: your animating progress gets interrupted by bad news so you gotta sketch out the sad

Featuring Diomedes, my beloved adopted father

Hey! I found your animations on youtube and I just want to say I LOVE THEM!!! YOU'RE SO TALENTED! and I was wondering what animation app you use? I can't stand trying to animate on flipaclip 😔

Glad you enjoy them!!

I don’t use an animation app, rather I use PaintToolSai (ver2) for drawing and HitFilm Express for timing and editing frames together with the audio.

It’s like the most unprofessional way ever to make an animatic/animation😂

#artist on tumblr #digital artist #mircsy #and it takes so much time to save and past the frames into the editor app omg

Homer Describing Odysseus: A head shorter than Agamemnon but wider in shoulders and in chest, strong legs and arms

Modern fanart: OK I shall make Odysseus shorter than literally ANY other character!

Like...come on guys! 😆 Agamemnon was also described to be taller than many men around the Greeks hahahaha and okay even if Odysseus could potentially be shorter than many other heroes in the war why the heck is literally EVERY character taller?! Including females?! Hahaha 😆 I mean I get it for goddesses that by n large they are pictured as tall etc but people like Penelope? Hahaha like even nowadays average height for women in Greece is like roughly 165-170 m tall yet alone back then! Hahaha she could potentially be at least at the same height as Odysseus if not shorter like come on!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Like allow some girls be shorter than average or average hahahaha 😆 😂 😆

#No. SHORT KING SUPREMACY /lh #I need my Ithacan father to be as short as possible LMAO #odysseus #greek mythology #the odyssey #homer #the iliad

Was doing some research on Diomedes and found out Tydeus was a pupil of Athena, a favorite of hers to the point she offered him immortality. He was a man blessed by the gods and yet, his actions disgusted the gods himself. In battle, Tydeus ate the brains of his enemy. An act so barbaric and out of line that it lost him the blessing of Athena.

Why did that happen? How come Tydeus decided to take that barbaric action? The act most certainly did not represent Tydeus’ character (if it had why would Athena be surprised and shocked?). Could one blame the gods? Striking Tydeus with madness? Or was it simply a fatal flaw in the king? A rage so unnatural and overbearing that it took control of him completely — a flaw overlooked by the gray-eyed goddess. A mistake that she would not commit again.

Diomedes himself is typically characterized as short-tempered and prone to anger, although he has far more self control and respect than any of the other greek kings (except for Nestor I suppose). He was mentored and sculpted into the man he was in the Trojan war by Athena herself, aiding him at all times, blessing him more than she did even Odysseus. She felt she owed the family of Tydeus, most likely treating them much like she treated Odysseus’ family in the Odyssey.

She most certainly succeded in preparing Diomedes to be such a great warrior, Aeneas comments that he was second only to Achilles in the greek army (although typically it is Telamonian Ajax who is said to be the second strongest greek) and Diomedes is most certainly one of the highest-trusted greeks in the army (It is he who is entrusted with the espionage to Troy, and it is he who is tasked with choosing who will follow HIM). Diomedes also has armor made by Hephaestus himself! An honor only appointed to Achilles. He was beloved by the gods, most definitely, and talented in all parts of war — talent which certainly came from his experience taking Thebes to avenge his father.

Diomedes shows incredible restraint, care, and control in his time in the war. He perhaps represents exactly what a greek warrior should be. Not burdened by the suicidal rage of Achilles. Not hindered by the constant lies of Odysseus. Not tainted by the pride of Agamemnon. Perhaps that is why he went on to be worshipped as a divine being in parts of Greece.
