These three fabulous hags who share an oracular eye between them have always been my favourite characters in Hercules, with Hades and his minions second. They aren't really heroes or villains; they're just doing their job, so I suppose they're anti-heroes.
I became interested in them before the film came out, when I was looking at Gerald Scarfe's concept drawings. I had read that one of his drawings had shown a hood covering one of Atropos' (the short Fate) eye sockets, and that the animator had misinterpreted this and given her only one eye socket. As we know, Atropos made it into the film with one socket (which, when you think about it, is really all she needs!).
Anyway, I loved their design, and thought they must be interesting. I read up on their mythology, and can draw them quite easily now. That was probably what drew me to Gerald Scarfe's style. So, basically, the three Fates have left a permanent impression on my art, as many of my doodles look like them.
