This was originally my favorite design for the project when I had all the Gods just sketched out. He and Artemis are meant to be twins, with similair designs. Apollo is meant to be more balanced in his design (since he's the god of balance and reason), while Artemis is meant to be a little more asymetrical, but still very similair to Apollo. I'm a little disappointed, because originally I wanted Apollo to be emitting light, so that his actual skin would be glowing. But by doing that, you lose the form and definition of his body, so I decided to render his form and give sort of a glow effect around him. Not quite what I envisioned, but its still close. And by the way, he isn't actually the sun God, contrary to popular belief (thats Helios), he just heralds in the sun every morning... and I just realized now that it doesn't make sense for him to have a shield if he's an archer... but oh well hehe.

I know, it's confusing. In my school project I got Apollo and I know he is the sun god. But then my friend got Helios and he is also the sun god... And also Artemis is the god of the moon while Selene ( Helios's sister) is the moon god. That really confuses me..
