Hercules Style Character part 2 - Color Ideas

So I was thinking about possible skin and hair color combinations. I don't know how much further I'll take this project, but it was fun working with the color. I tried to focus more on thinking about different contrast in value of the colors used.

Hercules Style Character

The task for this set was: Draw a character, and then redesign the character to fit in the world/style of Hercules and bring the drawing to completion. I had a lot of fun working on this character. I might bring it to color a little later even. :)

This is the original character sketch I drew.

I wanted to see if I liked the chest bare or covered, so I did two different versions.

There are more drawings in this full process shot. I felt that the legs needed adjusting to make the character feel more balanced. It was a minor adjustment, but one that I felt helped the drawing.

Overall I had a lot of fun with this project. I do hope to color it some day. :)
