Heraclesby ~blacksmith7

Digital Art / Mixed Media / Fantasy

Hercules/Heracles draped with the skin of The Nemean Lion, with The Lernean Hydra rising behind him during his second labour.

I've been thinking of doing a series of pieces on legendary figures, so depending on feedback from this, I may give it a go.

Wow that's freaking good. I need to ask you something, I just have a project on Hydra and I need to do a scene where Hercules kills Hydra. How does he kill Hydra, and what color should I color Hydra? Do you think Green would do good? More revelant to the real Hydra? Thanks!

~blacksmith7 Apr 25, 2013

Thanks very much, sorry about the late reply. I think there's variations on the story, but as far as I'm aware as he cut off each head, Heracles held a torch to the wound to cauterize it and stop it from regrowing. As far as colour, I don't think there's any info on its colour, its really just your own preference. I chose green just as a sort of reptilian trait, even purple used in the animated Hercules worked really well. I hope that helps on your project, and good luck.
