day 24: Poseidon

How do you design Greek Gods without rehashing what’s been done before?  Hell, that’s the plight of every character designer out there.  The great thing about the idea being done before is that you have that reference.  I looked at all the versions done before and had in mind what I didn’t want to do/copy.  The tricky part is trying to think of something new.

I decided to approach the Poseidon design by placing him in modern times.  As much as togas were the norm back then, it wasn’t gonna cut it with what I had in mind.  So I played around with trying to make it modern and still godly in a sense.  So here’s what I came up with.  Hopefully, it looks moderately cool.
