Description

Mythological characters going mech.
Came up with the theme after a serious artist block and since i havn´t done mechstuff i gave it a go.

First: Zeus

- bladelike parts around his neck represent the typical beard.
- Forearm is kind of a generator to make his lightning stuff happen.
- the flow of some parts should refer to a toga
and
- the eagle themed parts refer to the story of Ganymed.

Looking forward to do Hades or Medusa now.
Hope you enjoy it.

This is wonderful, as is your take on Poseidon and Hades.


I came across this because I’m working on a story (not sure if it’ll wind up a book, comic book or script for an anime) which tells the War of the Titans as a futuristic Sci Fi, with the Titans being A.I.’s that rule the world, and I am considering making the “gods” into Mechs that are piloted by humans. Your art here has inspired me to go in that direction.


Would you mind terribly if I used your art to inspire the design of mechs themselves in the story? I’m not 100% that’s the direction I want to go, but what you’ve come up with works so well with what I’m envisioning. You would certainly get a shout out in any book and if it becomes something visual Perhaps I can eventually commission something. That’s getting a little ahead of myself, though...
