~REQUIREMENTS~
1.) Your design must be based on and or around a Greek god/goddess. Greek gods/goddesses are the only pantheon to be used for this challenge. If your desired Greek god/goddess is not on the above list, you will need to provide an explanation of whom your desired GREEK god/goddess is, how they are associated with the Greek gods/goddesses. Again they must be from the GREEK pantheon only!
2.) A reference picture is needed. Please keep them reasonably sized, so nothing too big.
3.) A brief description of why your design or how your design represents your chosen Greek god/goddess. Maybe even a list, or explanation of their powers set though it is not required. Like what were they known for.

~RULES/GUIDELINES~
1.) All main core rules are in affect/effect.
2.) Failure to follow all rules/requirements, and you will be given a chance to fix your designs before deadline. Failure to complete those changes will result in your design and or designs no longer being eligible for possible placements in the weekly top 3.

~EXAMPLE~

Poseidon: Greek god of the sea, storms, earthquakes, and horses.





My design represent the Greek god Poseidon on the blessed merriment of two things he is known for. The sea and horses. According to Greek mythology, Poseidon created the horse in an attempt to clear his head and calm his advances on the goddess Demeter. By the time the horse was finished his feelings for her waved and the first horse was created. As for the sea, that is his dominant domain. He controls and rules over the seas and vast oceans. If he upset him, he was known to make the sea turbulent making it unsafe for travel. He could also make it since he was the god of storms to the point no wind would grace your sales. He would even deny you bounty to feed your families of fish. And if you pleased him, or gained his favor you were truly blessed with safe and quick passage, enjoy food in your nets, among many other things. I chose Poseidon, because I love the sea and all marine life. I love the history that is behind it, and the stories that can be told from it about it.

for my first design i chose to make apollo god of light/the sun, healing, archery, music, and poetry



i chose to do apollo for many different reasons some being...
1. he is the god of music and i love music!
2. according to the demigod quiz he is my godly parent (what can i say? i love Rick Riordan's books)
3. archery is cool and staying alive is good soooo... yeah
this design was based on light, sun, and apollo's sun chariot

Athena:


I chose Athena because I thought she would be pretty fun to make. I wanted to have one of the prettier looking goddesses to make a design out of. Also, she must have been pretty amazing in mythology to have a city (Athens) named after her. I based the design off of her war/battle side and included her armor.

Persephone:


I chose Persephone because I was making the Athena design, and I just had the sudden idea to do Persephone. I included both how she was the godddess of spring, and how she lives in the underworld with hades. I dunno I thought her story was cool.
