The way that Hades is drawn does not change at all, much like himself. He is the opposite of Hercules, while Hades is made up of cool colors and points, Hercules consists of warm colors and curves. In seeing this contrast we can easily assume that they are enemies, hero and villain. With Hades’ palette made of gray, black, and blue it is immediately clear he is dark and shadowy, the values associated with evil.

    Hades is composed of points, from his hair to his hands to his teeth, giving him a spiky and menacing look. This tells the audience that he is going to end up being a real danger to Hercules. In addition to that, he is drawn almost hunched over, making it seem like he is perpetually sneaking around and being deceitful, more characteristics of being evil.

    And then there is his hair, in it being fire, he is quite literally a hot-headed man. There is a constant indicator that he could blow up at any moment and start screaming, which he ends up doing very often.

    Altogether Hades is drawn to indicate a villain that will present a very real danger to Hercules.
