Hi welcome to my Steampunk Myths and Legends thread. The main idea is to post as much information related to my creation process as I can not only to register the steps and milestones but to share my (little) knowledge. I also hope to learn a lot in this process and from your threads. So if you have ANY doubts and questions please feel free to ask :D! If you want to comment, give any insight or constructive critic you are most welcome!!!
This would be probably the most text-heavy post of all so if you don’t enjoy reading I promisse the next posts will have a lot less text and much more images!
That been sad lets get things started! As this is my first post I would like to reveal the story that is Hercules (Heracles) with quite a bit of steampunk twist. It took me about 4 or 5 days of research to put together and I found it very important as I think a good story is the core of an excellent image or video production.
My interpretation of Hercules myth through a steampunk view takes place in a parallel Victorian age and shows the relationship between two cities: a floating island which is also an industrial enterprise named mount Olympus, in charge of inventing and creating all the technology (steam powered of course) and a normal (unnamed) city that uses some limited technology that was released under the mount Olympus brand. No citizen of the unnamed city could go up to Olympus, it was a law.
The problems begins when a newborn company named Equidna (which in Greek mythology is the mother of the monsters) makes a lot of dangerous steam machines using reversal engineering.
As the ones with the knowledge, the Olympians, can’t put their life in peril, Zeus, one of the the most talented and brilliant inventors bring a normal person (living in the unnamed city) to Olympus, to wear a steam powered suit that gives the one wearing it astonishing strength and resistance (sort of a ultra musculature piston-based system) which is called Hercules.
Doing so Zeus provide means for the one “wearing” Hercules to defeat Equidna creations.
I hope it was clear and understandable enough for everybody. this serves as a Background story. The idea is to do a short trailer showing 3 or 4 scenes rather than doing a full movie with beginning middle and end. I hope you have enjoyed the main idea!!!
My next post will be the shooting script, describing more precisely and production-wisely the shots that will made to the final animation.
Thank you so much for passing by and for the patience to read all that big text block! See ya soon! 
hope you guys enjoy this concept. And for those of you who are really nice at drawing (most of you judging by your ref concept work) I am widely open for suggestions and comments… for those of you who don´t draw I am equally open too!
