Artist's Comments

Entry for IMAF [link] 2006, in the 'Present Day Mythological Character Brief' category.
The idea is to "Design a mythological character for the present day. The character needs to be put into a modern context and a modern day situation - the situation must not be complex, but more every day – even mundane."
This is my interpretation;

Hermes - Paper Delivery Boy of the Gods.
A twist on the ancient Greek messenger of the gods. Hermes is the fastest delivery boy you could ever hope to meet - he's always the first person to get all the latest news! Check out his super inline skates - they're not just for good looks. They were awarded to Hermes by a mysterious benefactor known only as Mr. Zeus. Hermes has a special power - the ability to skate so fast that time almost comes to a standstill. If ever something needs to be delivered fast, Hermes is the guy to speak to. He often gets commissioned by the secret service to deliver critical information.

LOL, the chibi version is great.

Cool character sheet, like the Hercules style lettering too.

Yay! though i'm not entering for the contests (that will come NEXT year) I am planning on going to IMAF this year. It's honestly one of the only places that are accesable to me that has anything to do with anime or manga... I'm so looking forward to it!

Great concept for the character, the chibi is especially cute! I think this is going to be a strong contender in the contest! Wishing you luck and hoping to see you there :D

Chibi-Hermes is adorable! He needs to be a plushie.
I also really like the face portrait.

This is absolutely adorable. :heart:
I love the concept of this, and the profile picture you've drawn is incredibly lovely (not that they all aren't, that just happens to be my favorite :D )
Best of luck to you in the contest!

It's time for a new day to break,
From the dead dreams we awake.
Like a mute speaking, seizing his say,
Tomorrow come today
