no hate to supergiant but their design for apollo is so off it actually makes me a little mad. i amgoing to redesign him.
#like on its own its a solid design#but doesn't capture anything of apollo's essence or traditional depiction#and usually th8is team is really good at that?#which is why he stands out to me#like my main issues w/ it:#it’s far too simple in concept - apollo was a VERY multifaceted god w many domains#like all his design is rlly giving here is Soldier#where’s the medicine elements? the arts elements? what about his sacred lyre. any symbols involving ravens swans wolves or dolphins?#or even a reference to his sun cattle as they show up in a few myths!!#next issue:#too masculine and too much clothing lol#apollo is effeminate and has (before modern times at least) usually been depicted as such#in traditional renderings he’s almost always naked save for a cloak and quiver#totally get not wanting him to be naked lol. But. full armor? really?#idk like its NOT a huge deal and it’s an indie team and they do phenomenal work#but this design just feels so lazy to me#and for one of my favorite gods it’s disappointing:(
