This is my idea for SOI. It is the myth of the Minotaur. I wanted to make it really stylized like Greek pottery and keep with the black and gold color scheme. I think the background should be black with gold figures. The pattern on the top and bottom is supposed to be the heads of some of the Minotaurs victims. I can't ask for a critique yet i'm still just trying to get ideas, if you guys have any suggestions that would be awesome.

I think one of the best things you could do is get the poses flowing and natural. That's one of the problems I always had with the pottery is that its so stiff. But it wouldn't be to hard to add that level of naturalism and still stay true to the style. I would also suggest a background if that wouldn't mess with the goal. Sooooooo I will suggest lots of variations in the value structure in the background. Something that could pass as the most ideal aging ever found in Greek pottery. haha. I think playing that into the design could really aid you in adding some interest into the surroundings as well as the figures.
i think id prefer a gold background with black figures, they also used red on their pots
i think you could do some cool stuff with horror vacui cuz they used that too
