Hello everyone! Before I start on my next comic art attempt I sketched Hercules again inspired by the Disney cartoon me and my son just watched together.
This time, I kind of put a play to it, what if Herc grew up in Olympus? I drew him with Zeus' thunderbolts. What ifs, why not? (And yeah, I am aware that the Disney cartoon is way way different from the mythological tales)
I started with sketching it, and here's what I came up with.

Similar outfit I just put the knee and arm pads to make it more like he's on training mode. And the medal is not really realistic since it was a Disney invention. So i took it off.

Digitalization

I'd like to think I've improved in drawing drapery but it's not up to me to say so, maybe I am more satisfied with the outcomes but not exactly anything spectacular.
I traced over the sketch however it was still super hard to copy it and apply colors and shading. There were times i felt like i got lost with all the possible blue and gray shades I could apply with the cloth. I came up with just blue shades because gray would make it totally dark. With the lightning effect, it should have a bright appearance overall rather than a dark one.
