Perseus and Medusa- development

I needed to draw each character in a different position for each sign they appear on. Danae, Perseus' mother appear on a few and in the first sign, she is seen holding Perseus as a baby when she is standing next to Zeus. So, I decided to re draw this black and. yellow illustration but fully in colour. Overall I think this is effective and not overly complicated for a spot illustration. 

I needed to show that Medusa wasn't always a monster and this is my interpretation of her before turning in to the Gorgon. I wanted her to look vain and self-absorbed as this is the Greek Myth I will be explaining in the sign. 

Here is Medusa for the main illustration on the slide explaining her backstory. I repositioned her arms but I wanted to maintain the eye contact she has with the audience. 

Here's my version of the entrance to her lair. I wanted it to be different to the previous background I did with pillars. I decided to use a dark grey to show that it's a scary place to be. I also included the stone soldiers in the back ground too. 

Here's Medusa with her two sisters. I wanted to keep their design quite simple and similar to Medusa, but I also didn't want the attention taken away from the main character. 

I recreated Hermes as a character, mainly because I didn't want him to be confused with Perseus and I changed his skin tone and features. I decided I wanted to illustrate him in an action shot to show that he is the God of Speed and can help Perseus go to the end of the world faster. 

Here's Athena in a different pose looking ready for battle. I wanted Hermes and Athena to be seen as strong and powerful so introducing them in different stances will represent to the audience that they are ready for anything. 

Here's Athena and Hermes together in the same illustration. I illustrated them on top of columns to show their strength and braveness and to create an exciting spot illustration.
