THIS BLOG HAS BEEN RETIRED. I'm still going to be keeping it up here, though-- there's some pretty cool old stuff on it. That said, if you want to keep up to date with me, please go to www.georgeoconnorbooks.com.

The Cyclopes and the Hekatonchieres

The Cyclopes and the Hekatonwhatnows?



These are two of my favorite designs from Zeus: Father of the Gods. The Cyclopes you probably all know, but history has largely forgotten their monstrous brothers, the much harder to pronounce Hekatonchieres, which means, incidentally "the hundred-handed ones". In addition to the aforementioned 100 hands, each Hekatonchiere (there were 3) had 50 heads, so, while I was really happy with the solutions I came up with in designing them, I really didn't feel the need to put them into too many scenes.

Kronos



So I know I'm often remiss in posting in a timely fashion on this blog, normally 'cause I'm at my studio, drawing, drawing away. Really, though, with all the computer coloring I've been doing lately, I have absolutely no excuse (other than forgetfulness) to not post cool shtuff. Here's a panel of Zeus: Father of the Gods' big bad, Kronos, the titanic baby-eating embodiment of all-devouring time.
