Description
From 1992 (again), comes another blast from the past... OLYMPIAN! The original look was... well... kinda lame. Techie suspenders and leg band paired with a very open face mask. Clearly I was influenced by the great Liefeld!My re-imagining used the same colors palette as the original (though I'm sure the original was supposed to be flesh toned) and a nod to the general layout of the costume. The new, 2010 version of the OLYMPIAN is a an android war machine that was designed to invade small towns for a power hungry warlord. The villagers pleaded with the gods of old (the Olympians, naturally) for aid against their enemy. The gods answered by empowering one of the androids with sentience and a fraction of their collective power!

This is such an awesome idea!!! Great re-working of the original. More Kirby, less Liefeld.

I think it'd be an excellent idea. Its almost a compulsion to redraw these things when I go through old sketch books. I bet (nearly) everyone does this sort of thing.
