Chun-Yi Wu: Zodiac Constellation - Leo

    Leo is one of the constellations of the zodiac, lying between Cancer to the west and Virgo to the east. Its name is Latin for lion, and to the ancient Greeks represented the Nemean Lion killed by the mythical Greek hero Heracles  as one of his twelve labors.
    By the Greek mythology, Leo was identified as the Nemean  Lion, which killed and torn off its skin by Heracles. On mythology Heracles wore Nemean Lion's leather as a armor since the lion was impervious to any weaponry when it was alive.

    On my design for Leo this time, no more focus on the character but focus on the part of lion leather cover on a dummy character. Which present as Heracles's lion leather and the Weapon dummy is holding is a symbol of the constellation star of Leo.
