Ok, here are the first fruits of my efforts and your contributions.

More sketches here:

And after all this fuss, I'm pretty certain this is the end of the road for me.
Here is a sample of my conversation with Kirk, the author...
KIRK: (insisting I replace the spear/sword with some ridiculous 3ft wide sword with a jagged edge like you see in comics and videogames) we need to amp it up for market...
ME: Kirk, are you paying me?
KIRK: No.
ME: Am I your b*tch?
KIRK: No.
ME: Ok then,
KIRK: But...we need to amp it up for market.
(repeat 18 times until you hang up...)
So there it is, please enjoy! It was fun breaking out the sketchbook after what ammounted to a 12 year hiatus.
Just for comparison, here are some of Frank Cho's version of Ares for his upcoming "Might Avengers" series.

Love Cho, but I hate his version of Ares.

Be warned: This is a comic fans webpage so the topics pretty much center around boobs. Some NSFW stuff if you decide to wander around.
