Legendary

I've decided to start using Illustration Friday as a springboard for some creativity. I often work best when my mind is free to go to random places.

Anyway, the word of the week is Legendary, and the first things that came to mind were the ancient Greek myths. One story has always inspired me, ever since I was a little pup, and that was the story of Jason and the Argonauts, so it's fitting that this should be my first picture for IF.

Nice selection buddy! I loved Jason and the Argos as a kid and especially dig that flick.

Dot - Hi. The robots on your blog are cool. Look forward to seeing more.

Peter - Yeah, that film rules. I can't remember too much about the myth these days, but there were so many great things in the film. Those Hydra skeletons were amazing. I've yet to see any modern scary skeletons on film... well, except for this one:
