'Hercules' Pegasus'

Illustration, 2025

This illustration of Hercules’ Pegasus was created in 2025, inspired by my trip to Greece. The character has always fascinated me for its distinctive animation style. Despite being an equine, Pegasus moves with a fluidity more reminiscent of a feline. In this piece, I aimed to capture his spirited nature while maintaining the elegance of his anatomy and movements. He is determined and confident, yet easily distracted by the world around him.

The small birds accompanying him are blue tits, a species I chose for their matching color palette and their common presence in Greece.
