This image was a blast as Hermes is one of my personal favorite Greek gods. A true ally to mortals and travelers in particular, I'm a fan of his mischievous, trickster persona. In this image, I wanted to pay tribute to his mother's connection to constellations and the properties of his magical staff. This entire series was such a good challenge, as I was tasked with portraying the personality of each god. In this case, I chose to portray Hermes with a sort of child-like wonder, which I think suits him. As the divine Herald it made sense to have him floating in the sky with his winged sandals and helmet, forged by Hephaestos.
