Finally I decide what to do.
I will make an image about the seventh labor of Heracles, one of my favourite hero as a child. Now I have the opportunity to make my on interpretation about this great hero and a lot of steam beside that :)

Here are some details about the story (with thanks to www.theoi.com):

THE TAUROS KRETAIOS (or Cretan bull) was a handsome bull sent forth from the sea by Poseidon. The Cretan Queen Pasiphae lusted after the animal and coupled with it, hidden inside a wooden cow crafted by the artificer Daidalos. She gave birth to the monstrous Minotauros, a creature with the head of a bull.

Herakles was commanded to fetch the bull of Krete as one of his Twelve Labours. Upon completion of this task Herakles he set the creature free and it eventually came to the Athenian town of Marathon where it laid waste to the countryside. There it was destroyed by the hero Theseus. The gods placed the bull among the stars as the Constellation Taurus, along with the
Hydra, Nemean Lion and various other creatures from Herakles' labours.

So, I'm starting with the Bull. Here is wip of the head. I'm trying to give a little touch of "art nouveu" to the overall look, now isn't very noticeable but I hope it will be more vizible in near future when more of body elements emerge.

developing the bull, trying to find a balance between corect anatomy and a credible mechanism.
