Running hard with weights, the race gives him a sense of power

"Running with Weights"
A quick sketch from three different stock photos combined together:

       

I already had the muscular ones in a folder, hoping they'd inspire me for a muscular picture of the god Set. But as I combined the first two, it looked to me like the figure wanted to run, so I hunted for a running man to try and get the head right. The long flying hair to me just gives it a feeling of dynamism. Also I just plain like the long hair!

While I was at work today, I thought of all sorts of possibilities for an animation program I just downloaded. I could do simple cartoons, and maybe even have one of Set throwing a lightning bolt. So I got home, and went about looking for sources to sketch from. I got a nice initial sketch that I really like.

But of course, I'm quite fearful that anything I do to it next will utterly ruin it. However, I at least have this much.

(Later note: A month later, I did obtain a successful digital color version
