Just throwing out some ideas. From left to right: Daedalus, Prometheus, and Arachne. I did these before I realized that the Minotaur was used as an example for the challenge. The Arachne concept ended up looking like steampunk weaving, and I couldn't think of a way to emphasize the mythology element. I think I will keep working on the Prometheus concept and see where that goes.

Looking for a good composition.

I decided to go with the theme of Prometheus stealing fire (or, in this case, steam) from Mt. Olympus.

Trying to get a feel for this strange contraption. Right now it feels a little too random, like none of the elements are meshing together quite right. I got some new ideas while working on this, so I may end up changing it quite a bit.

Hi Aly,

I like your idea of prometheus stealing fire, but i like more the prometheus of your first sketches. In the last one he see out of perspective. You have very nice character desings in your blog, so you can work a better prometheus. I like the Steam Arm.:thumbsup:

keep it up and good luck.:beer:

Changed the composition after getting some notes on it. It's still very rough, and I haven't figured out what those foreground elements are yet. I'm still not quite happy with the placement of everything. Although I think this looks more menacing, I think I'm losing a lot of scale, so I'm going to work on bringing that back.

[edit] Now looking at the thumbnail, the background is too skewed to the right.
