Description
Update: Fixed a few smaller problems I had. Some rough lines and the shadows, mainly.Lineart: dragonslover1.deviantart.com/a…
Aldara, daughter of Hercules and Megara from the Disney adaptation; and Diana, a female pegasus, Aldara's best friend.
I'd love to have a pegasus for a best friend. Wouldn't you?

Updated Model: dragonslover1.deviantart.com/a…
That background was so crappily made. I copied it from the movie, from the scene where Meg waves goodbye to Herc after their first encounter. How'd I do?
I've already revamped Aldara since I originally drew this picture
but I still like it, regardless. I'm definitely starting to love coloring like this, with toned lines instead of black ones. Hercules (c) Disney

Sorry, I don't. I wouldn't want her to become a goddess anyway, considering Hercules gave up his godhood for her.
Besides, in the original tale, he kills his kids and I think Megara too while in sleepwalking spell. :/ Kinda hard to become a goddess after that.

True. And I know the origianl story behind Hercules 
Because Megara has proven itself to be a hero just as much as Hercules himself.

"Hercules, if you can prove yourself a true hero on Earth, your godhood will be restored!"
Key word there being "restored". Humans can't become gods (in the cartoon, anyway). Hercules was a special case cause he was MADE mortal, meaning he still has the blood of the gods, but Meg was always just human.

Ture. BUT Eros is a young god, who fell in love with Psyche, a mortal woman, who by her actions and love to him proved her worty, and then Zeus made her immortal so she could join her Husband as an immortal by his side.
And Odysseus once was offeret the chance to become an immortal, but said not.
So I don't see why Megara did not get the chance to be with Hercules.
( FUN FACT
Just think that would have been a much better ending for them
PS: Do you have a story behind your Female vertion of Hercues ? I really like her as a greek heroine

All true, but you're missing the biggest point: the movie isn't like the mythology. They already changed numerous things, so it's fairly obvious they're only lightly taking from the mythology. I know the mythology very well so you don't need to "fun fact" me on this. 
And the ending shown felt perfect. It showed that although Hercules was struggling his whole life (all 18 years of it) to find a place he belongs, he ultimately finds it elsewhere than where he was looking. He gave up godhood for love, and there's really no greater message than that.
PS: It's not a female Hercules, it's my headcanon daughter of Herc and Meg. Her name's Aldara. I have a few other updated versions of her that are way better.

Great. Would still love to read a short story of her. Lige your design of her though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It could be an interesting story. It would require an AU ending, though, since I doubt that after willingly giving up his godhood Herc could just be like, "Know what? Changed my mind. Give it back."
Anyway. I'm not a big fanfic reader so you'll have to do the searching yourself. Maybe google "goddess Megara"?

This is really beautiful! I love style and her look! I also love Diana! They look like a very legit team.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've been updating her look to match the Hercules style a bit more, but at present I can't work on them. It makes me sad. 
Somewhere around my gallery I have an updated version of Aldara, posing by herself. You might want to check that one out.

I know, I saw her new look too; and, I actually really like that design too. Her personality seems closer to her dad's. She seems more innocent. And here she looks tougher and more hard-core. Almost like an amazon.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I want her look to basically be like her mother, but with her father's colors and a bit more height than Meg has. Personality-wise, she's tough like her mother; the first time I tried to get a feel for her personality, I came up with a typical scene of a guy hitting on her. She turned him down multiple times, then told him any man less capable than her father is not good enough for her, to which the guy asked who her father was. Suffice to say he gave up when she said it was Hercules.
I've been working on her story for a while now, and I'm actually pursuing an end result I've never tried before in my stories: she'll be facing no romance. None. She's a strong, independent demigod who don't need no man.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL, poor guy!
And about the romance; does that mean she won't have a thing with Orion?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nah. I considered Orion for a couple of reasons, then came to realize that not every woman needs a romance, especially not one Aldara's age -- she's about 16 when her story begins, and a few years older when she has her biggest adventure. I was also advised that Orion is an actual person in Greek mythology who wouldn't very easily fit with the daughter of Hercules romantically, and I want to keep away from too much discrepancy.
Not saying there won't BE romance at all, cause I am planning something, but it just won't be centering around Aldara.

That's great! My creative writing teacher tells us, when you write a story, make sure you do your research. And you did.
And this is JUST a suggestion, but maybe you could have a guy who she has to save all the time or wants to protect. Or you could make it a plot twist and make him someone evil. But that's just a suggestion.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ehh, considering the plot I have already worked out, that wouldn't really fit. I wouldn't mind giving her a friend, someone like Icarus from the cartoon adaptation, but I'll have to work on that later.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hey, that would be great! Sometimes friendship is better than romance.
I'll be waiting
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It'll be either a written story or a comic, but either way you'll be waiting a while. My hard drive with all the data has been compromised. There's a chance I may lose everything.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh man, that's gotta be scary! I know there was a time when I thought I was gonna lose some stories on my computer, and it's frightening.
I hope you don't lose ANYTHING, and I hope your hard drive gets fixed.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've already lost all my info three times since the ripe young age of 16, but I've never had THIS much effort and time and raw data on the line. It's horrifying.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh my gosh! I'm really sorry! Once again, I hope you do not lose anything.

Hah, well, thanks for liking this insanely old picture of mine.

hahaha yeah I'm slow like that XD np!

The rest? You mean Hercules and Meg and them?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I meant the other Disney princesses.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh! Well this isn't Meg. This is Aldara, my made-up daughter of Meg and Herc.
I've considered drawing all the princesses before, but just about everybody does that already. I'll think about it though.

right on- again... was this a character you thought up or did i miss something? funny what happened to the real megara, poor thing... at least according to mythology.
your graphics surpass mine by far.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Megara was originally a princess of. . .Thebes? Athens? One or the other. It's said she had a son and a daughter of Hercules' after marrying him. His descendants went on to become the Spartans. Beyond that, I don't know what happened to her.
I thought up Aldara on my own.
It's an old picture though. I bet I could do a lot better if I tried again.

whoa, that's neat
yeah, they're both soo hot..

Not really, though I did take some inspiration from it.
Thanks.

Herc's power and training mixed with Meg's coolness and wits. Great.
