Description
PhotoshopAugust 2013
This is artwork detail for something my boss at work commissioned me to do for a certificate to award to all the people who worked on a particular project having to do with Florida schools. The idea was that the monumental project was like the thirteenth legendary labor of Hercules, so, as per their instructions of doing something "inspired by" Disney's version of Herc, I tried to come up with my own design of this Grecian hero (with a few perhaps recognizable elements and a Scarfeian swoop or two). I took the text out and reformatted the border to make it a standalone piece of art, and this is the result! It was very well received, and I kind of like how it turned out too.
This wasn't actually for a product that's for sale or proprietary imagery, so I don't feel bad about posting it on here, but still, please refrain from using it for anything not expressly permitted by yours truly.

Right you are, but most people are familiar with the character as Hercules, and the term "Heraclean effort" doesn't have quite the same ring as "Herculean effort," so we went with the Roman.Β Besides, for all anyone knows we WERE referring to the Roman variation, I never did say anything about Greece.

can you make a story where hercules has a daughter and he takes her with him and she helps him do the twelve tasks and they bond together but she loses her life at the last labour and her father is mourning for her because she was a little girl.

Wow, great artwork! Β I especially love how you included little images along the sides of the picture to summarize all his other labours!

Yeah, we thought that was a nice touch!Β One of my coworkers and I tried to figure out a way to incorporate more of the mythology in the art, and that seemed like a good way, and it helped make the 13 on Florida make more sense.Β Thank you!
