My Heroes - 1st post

This template was the first drawing I used for a project I have had in the works for a few years, and is something I have tentatively called "My Hero."

 This super-hero based project is an adaptation of all the super-hero worlds and characters I have grown up loving, and finding incredibly alluring and attractive. All those heroes who I had crushes on growing up have inspired my designs and character back stories.

 This series of posts will be devoted to the characters and designs I have created in anticipation of the stories and sequential art I hope to create soon.

 This drawing started this whole project. My

 More to come!

Greek Gods - Poseidon line art

Here is  Poseidon in all his wet glory. I finished his line work and got him scanned, and ready for blogging.

He is still missing some line detail in his cape. I intend that to be a net, and I think I will save that for later, and will draw it in with pure color.

Poseidon, God of the sea. I see him of course wearing very little, gotta be hydro-dynamic after all... he get's a big sword/dagger + holster attached to his belt, his Trident of course, some shell clips, his mithra, and his net cape. I drew him a little sea shell horn on his far hip. You can only see the end sticking out from his thigh. I am thinking that would be his horn to call upon all the beasts and crackens of the sea he controls.

 I decided to morph his legs into something almost fin like. Extra steering and control underwater. Most of the gods could change their shapes at will, so why not make use of that for the god who lives in the more fluidic environment.

I'll be coloring him later and sharing more versions as I go.

Next week I will have one more line art preview to share. Hades, God of the Underworld. I am working on a project for my mainstream art, and will have tons to do for that the next couple weeks, but I have already got more drawings of Gods to come, so please keep checking back.

Thanks again!

Greek Gods - Zues line art

2013 is here, and I have sorely neglected my blog this past year. With spring here, I have begun to work on old projects again.

Can't go wrong with the Greeks, so I have settled on a project to draw 10 of the Greek Gods and get them fully colored and posted here. Once these are drawn, my next step would be possibly the Goddesses, or maybe some monsters. We will see how things go with this project.

The line work for my first drawing is finished, and ready for digitizing. I will add more details strictly in color, and post the results later.

Here is Zues, King of the Gods.

I am giving their designs belts, with little fletchets made of metal of leather and encrusted jewel studs. Plus they each get a snug little pouch for their godly junk :)

More to come! I've already got Poseidon, Hades, Ares, Hephaestus, Apollo, Hermes, Eros, Dionysus and Herakles drawn rough and near completion!
