Hermes Concept Art



(C) Copyright 2007 Wes Murrell.

This is concept art for the character Hermes (who appears in chapter 1). His appearences beyond chapter 1 will be brief, if he makes any at all.

With the above design, I wanted to stay true (without being cheezy) to the winged helmet that Hermes traditionally wears. This is what I came up with and liked. Originally, my idea of Hermes was a scrawny, little blue character with very large arctic fox-like ears and big, round black eyes. But when I asked a Tanzanian friend of mine to lend his voice for the character, Hermes took on a much more macho and warrior-like appearance. And I don't regret that. :)
