Hercules

This is a very late commission for

When she said she wanted me to do a commission for her, I set myself down to draw one of her fantastic characters (crouched behind a rock and waited for Mack again ... I just keep DOING that!!). But no. She asked for my take on Hercules. Now, she knows a lot about mythology, Archaeology major that she is, and so do I. And I am happy she respected my knowledge of it enough to ask this of me.

It took me a lot of thinking ... I went back and checked my facts, looked at some ancient paintings on urns and plates and whatnot, got down to work, failed really hard at it a few times. (I wonder if all the Dionysos statues in the house had something to do with that ...)

But in the end, here it is! I am very happy with it, and it was a fantastic experience! Thanks, Raka!!
