The Art of Heraclon

"Heraclon is a worldbuilding project that began with the ambition to adapt the myth of Hercules into a science fiction narrative. It started with the story of a young hero, banished from his celestial kingdom, Astorya, and tasked with overcoming fictional creatures across a universe created by Astralya to reclaim his place among his people. The project focused on reimagining Olympus and paradise within a science fictional context. Throughout my work, I'll guide you through my worldbuilding approach, showcasing the complete thought process, including the challenges and failures, of developing an original and complex fictional world from scratch—from a world created by gods to one crafted by a divine celestial female spirit."

"As I embarked on creating a fictional world, the first question I had to answer was: who created this world?"

"The next step in bringing the world to life was to explore Astorya, the planet of the divine mother and the universe's center."

"In this chapter, the viewer will discover everything about the Astorians, a celestial and peaceful civilization devoted to receiving blessings from their creator, Astralya. They embody a society of women dedicated to continuing the universe's creation by nurturing new life. Through prayers and songs, they become pregnant and continue to shape the universe."

"While establishing a science fictional world, the Pegatrons were conceived as mechanical versions of Pegasus. Their design process involved real horse anatomy and body mechanics to envision how these creatures could move believably and be easy to animate."

HYMN TO ASTRALYA
In the realms of Astorya where starlight sings,
Astralya's light creation brings,
Mother of cosmos, eternal and wise,
Guiding her daughters through endless nights.
From her cosmic core, her power flows,
In every heart, her essence glows,
With songs and prayers, they shape the skies,
Creating life, their sacred prize.
Oh, Astralya, divine and true,
In your image, new life comes through.
