Description
I think this is my favorite of the series, even though it isn't technically the best. Hephaestus is the blacksmiths to the Gods, and the god of fire and technology. He also is the only crippled God. Unfortuneatly, right now it looks like his foot is just twisted awkwardly, or like I don't know how to draw feet correctly, but he is meant to be a gimp. Hopefully if I have time I'll go back and push that concept a lot further.Related content

Hephaestus gets shat on by ancient Greek writers, when he's clearly one of the best gods.

Your Hephaestus is the closest to an accurate description that you can get with Classical Mythology. Good job!

Wow! awesome job! I really like the hammer and the armor he has on his wrists and ankles. Using fire as hair is an pretty cool touch as well.

I love this one, it really captures the character of Hephaestus and how he is strong and creative, yet at first scorned and hurt. I don't know if you meant to do this but you can really see his strength in his body and surroundings, but his emotion in his eyes and face. Well done.

I love the way you took this and interpreted it in your own way instead of getting a thin yet strong crippled god perspective on him

I feel like he's gimp in that picture cause of how his knee is and then how his foot is twisted.
π: 0 β©: 0
His foot is SUPPOSED to be twisted.. hes crippled. Getting thrown off a mountain will do that to yah.

Christ. I was browsing to find some references for Greek gods, but I didn't think I'd stumble across a gallery as amazing as yours. I absolutely love your designs, and I love how unconventional pieces like this one are. Faved and subscribed.

He's difformed but the way he's depicted here still makes him look awesome. He looks miserable but also inspires respect as he could easily smash your skull with that huuuge hammer. I absolutely LOVE the colors.
Straight to my favourites.

Awesome work! I think you've captured Hephaestos perfectly, I especially like his miserable visage and hunched shape.
