Heroes Project - Hercules

Here's the first character of my latest personal project called "Heroes Project". He is the mighty Hercules. The idea behind it was to take some important heroes from the past (from ancient history and mythology) and reimagine them in such a way they could fit in a game from nowdays. Also, when I was concepting I was interested to achieve a realistic design, so they aren't very exagerated (huge muscles or full covered in armor). My intention was to feel that they are grounded in reality.
I was heavily inspired by the awesome sculpts from God of War, especially the artworks of Raf Grasseti and Glauco Longhi. Also, AC: Odyssey and a lot of sculptures and paintings from Renaissance and Baroque were a great inspiration for me.
I've started to work on the next Hero, so stay tuned :D I'm planning to make 3 or 4 heroes in total.
