Description
Hermes waits in his temple until the gods summon...then the eyes of the snakes intertwined on his herald's staff begin to glow, its orb flares, the god stamps his foot, thunder sounds, and the magic of his winged sandals spreads forth and lifts him upward. He ascends to Olympus, to the abode of the gods, to hear their word and swiftly fly forth carrying their divine message to the human wold and beyond....
Hermes in Greek mythology is not only the messenger of the gods of Olympus, Hermes also carried the souls of the dead to Hades, and directed the dreams sent by Zeus to mortals. He was father to Pan, the satyr-like Greek god of nature, famous for his pipes; father of Priapus, whose prominent feature cannot be politely discussed; and father with Aphrodite of the androgynous Hermaphrodites. A busy sort of fellow!!
I got the idea for this scene when I saw the wonderful Godspeed outfit by IgnisSerpentus at DAZ 3D. For some reason it reminded me of costumes use to depict Greek mythological figures of early 20th century movies and stage plays. So I depicted Hermes here in a tableau that resembles some of those early (mostly silent) movies sets....but, of course, here not in black and white, but in brilliant technicolor! I hope you like it!
Always better in full size, so please ZOOM, there are some nice details!
Thank you for your visit, and for your great support! Your comments, and favs are wonderful, but I also thank you for all the inspiration that comes from your own wonderful artwork!!!

It is rather reminiscent of those old movie costumes, isn't it Marco? Lol re: Priapus. He had a rather different family didn't he? This is a wonderful image. Very nice rich colors and that is a great outfit :)

An excellent render. Great detail and all the elements are there for this Grecco/Roman depiction. That twin serpent rod is very cool as are the effects. Fantastic work on this one.

Superb lighting and posing in this scene and he really does look as if he is about to rise. Excellent work.

Oh jeeeez. Amazing the determination and intensity evident on his face you captured beyond his mask. Masterful lighting and scene creation like always, but I also love when you -- and everybody -- does stuff like this because I know next to nothing about it so it's a whole different realm of experience to me. Most excellent!

Excellent job, Marco! I love the wings on head, chest and boots; way cool. And those muscles (where can I find a man like that?)! The flame on the staff is amazing, my friend!

Amazing mythical scene! The lighting and the effects are awesome. He's wearing a wonderful outfit and his pose is bringing out his power perfectly. I'd just want to add that Hermes was also the greek divinity of trade.
