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.

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.

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.

@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. :)
