Achilles - Raskol Apparel

Achilles one of the most iconic and prolific characters of Greek Mythology, a stoic and yet flamboyant character. Raskol Apparel wanted another Greek based illustration to add to their line. They wanted to continue the same aesthetic as Hercules, yet have a more recognizable pose and a more action based pose. I spent some time reading and researching Achilles, looking at Greek Historical Art, reading the amazing work of Homer, looking at actual Greek Armor used in that period, using various references and historical context. Of course melting my own approach with that of the artists from Ancient Greece lead to this illustration. The type is based on a condensed Sans Serif, but with a twist of rough edges, easy to read, and fits well with the vertical layout. The word is Ancient Greek and is a translation of shock, fear, and or shocking, in Modern Greek it is Theos or Deos as in God. Client: Raskol Apparel
