Description You ever make new characters cause now one else has? Yeah I do that alot I've knoticed. I was prowling Wikipedia(big mistake XD), and knoticed how there seem to be quite afew characters based off of Greek gods, but only very few are based off of Roman gods. So I was thus inspired. However I fell I went to the route of the Planets insted of just Roman gods. Hopefully I can avoid makeing any connection to THAT anime.

Here we have Mars. I wanted to go with a Gladiator look for him and I think it turned out pretty well. The helment wasn't THAT hard to draw belive it or not. I also mulled over if I wanted to go with the holes in the helmet or give him a face a visor. Visor works! Mars is naturally the god of war hence the weapons. I went for a more classic gladitor style (he also has a net which I didn't draw) since I've never been a fan of a deity useing moder weapons, but that's just me. And to top things off he can also control fire..... Red Planet and what not.

Hmm Good twist , I dont remember any representation of Roman or Greek wargod as a gladiator....I guess because gladiators are related with slavery.

Great desing , good idea the flaming trident , always you see fire swords or axes.

Heh thank you. I've always been partial to the who look of the Gladiator since they get all that badass lookin equipment. I guess the interpritation of slaves is correct, but then you gotta think they knew more about combat than the people that owned them.

As for the trident I picked that cause it was part of the the standard Gladiator equipment. It also comes with a net. The flames actually come from Mars himself, and he is able to transfer the heat to his weapons.

Sweet. I like the fire trident. Are you planning on doing one of Neptune and his trident?

RedWingsDragon In reply to anime-mg [2010-01-18 07:10:05 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Actually Mars has the ability to transfer fire onto his weapons without them burning. The trident was cause that was a typical gladiator weapon. Actually I'm trying to decide what Neptune looks like.
