The top right sprite's always bothered me. Not because the art is bad, but mostly because it just looks like a guy wearing his underwear. Considering who he is, he really should have a more intriguing appearance. Like a more extravagant outfit.

Yeah, I always thought he should look more regal.

i wonder, because while the idea was to make human characters purposefully mundane, shouldn't divine beings have an unnatural feel to them?

That's a good point, and the design for that character is one that we debated a lot internally with the team.

Keep in mind that, in the scene we see him in, he's having a private conversation with Asterion. He's dressed a little more casually than you'd usually see him. He's also really fucking tired in that scene. Another important thing is that, out of the Gods, he's portrayed as the most human and approachable.

I 100% understand the disappointment, I fucking love more stylized portrayals of the character (Jen Zee's from Hades and Gerald Scarfe's from Hercules for example), but for Minotaur Hotel in particular we wanted to go in the opposite direction and humanize him, since (if the Homeric Hymns are anything to go by) he's the least of an asshole in the Greek pantheon. 

Also, look at how ancient Greeks portrayed their gods in statues and vases: they're just dudes. Really aesthetic dudes in striking poses, yes, but dudes nonetheless. And they're wearing simple togas and chlamyses.

Well shit there goes my attempt to not spoil who the character is for people reading the forum that haven't gotten to that point yet. Go play the game.
