Minotauro

Our final assignment for Greek Mythology class was to creatively interpret a myth, so I decided to draw an existing character of mine (from the Persona project). His character in general was inspired by the song “Minotauro” which I am… pretty sure is comparing an office worker in his cubicle to the Minotaur in the labyrinth. My Spanish is rusty. But that’s what I decided to go with for the illustration.

It might also be important to note that in the project he’s a Japanese “salaryman” office worker who feels all the more trapped in his dead-end job thanks to Japanese social mores, specifically those that favor the group over the individual. He wants to move on from the company, but does that make him selfish…?
