The following sketches show the final character design of five heroes I developed in the late 1990s. They are members of a team called the Freaks.
Inspired by the superhero comics I read, I started to draw my own heroes. By using and assimilating elements from Ancient Greek mythology, I tried to avoid — as much as possible — similarities to American superhero stereotypes. I just hope I was successful.
The heroes I designed represent:
- Felines
- Canines
- Fish
- Insects
- Goats
I am thinking of adding two more characters that will represent reptiles and birds.
Cerberus – The Werewolf‑Like Hero
One of my characters is called Cerberus, named after the beast that guarded the gates of the Underworld in Greek myth. He is the one who looks like a werewolf.
I initially placed Cerberus on another team. You can see part of his origin in several pages in my next post.
What’s Next
Hopefully, I will use all these heroes in a present project someday.
Stay tuned!
