Today's sketch is a near-complete assemblage of the gods. Unfortunately, as you can tell, I drew this across the spread of my sketchbook, so we have a big ol' crease running down the middle. From left to right we have Poseidon, Dionysos, Ares, Aphrodite, Hephaistos, Hera, Demeter, Apollo, Artemis, Hermes and Athena. At this point in time I was toying with the idea of Hestia not having a human form at all, but just being personified by a hearth (that's her in the middle). Eventually, I compromised and made her a humanoid figure composed of flame. Conspicuously absent is Big Daddy Zeus himself-- that's because this drawing is done from a Zeus eye view. We're viewing this family get-together from his seat at the table.
Are Athena and Poseidon glaring at each other like that on purpose? :D
ReplyDeleteOh, and Hermes is really cool in this picture. He doesn't seem to have much arm muscles for once, which is how I've always imagined him. :P
When will you show Hestia before she became a flame and as a regular god in human form (I image her as a mixture of Hebe and Metis)?
ReplyDeletePS: When will you talk about Hebe helping Iolaus (her nephew-in-law) defeated Eurystheus' army?
