Greek gods and goddesses revisiting designs

Over the next couple of weeks I’m going to try and update over here with stuff I’ve been working on over the last couple of years.  Tonight’s post is Greek mythology themed.  I revisited my pantheon designs, and then upon finishing one pass through went about refining them: fixing poses and proportions, updating costumes, and refining palettes.

Hera, Artemis, and Apollo Designs

I've been busy the past couple of weeks with my sister's wedding, but here is some of what I've been working on.

I didn't really have a concrete design in place for Hera when I started working on her design, but I knew i wanted her to be regal.  I really like her final design, but it looks like I might have drawn her about a head height too short.

I've always seen Apollo as being a bit of a jock.  He's kind of the perfect guy, smart and athletic.  I also picture him being ridiculously tall.  I tried to make him as "square" as possible design-wise since he is the stable one compared to Cupid.

Artemis is athletic and confident.  I finished Apollo's design before hers, so referenced his design when tightening hers up.  I might still be changing her hairstyle a bit, as I've realized that she looks a lot like the Artemis from Young Justice.
