Mythological Gods - Garry1953 - Normal
 

Mythology is not my best subject.

But I'll have a go at something........:D

Let you all know soon.

Iv'e decided to model

Charon (CAIR-on)
Spectral figure who ferried the dead across the river Styx.

The custom was to place a coin in the mouth of a corpse to secure its passage into Hades

This should give me something to play with.

1. Main figure
2. Boat
3. River (I'm thinking of making it underground with Stalagmite and a Stalagtite or two for atmosphere)
4. Dead body, maybe......... (if I get time)

Oh well,,,,,,,, nothing ventured nothing gained.

Ah this sounds like its going to be great! Not just a model, but a whole scene! Wow, should be cool :)

Very rough at the moment.
Just a quick floor and ceiling.

Added a bit of water to see if the idea I have will work.

I think I'm in for a fairly steep learning curve getting it together.:eek:

I will be streamlining the cave quite a bit to get it looking the way I want it.

But at least its a start.:)

interesting start garry :)

great start mate!! looks interesting.. ill check back

yeah, nice start!! Is Charon supposed to be depicted as a skeleton? ... or am i all muddled up :p

-<{ JB }>-

My understanding of Charon is that he is a ghost like person, which gives me lots of scope to model.

But as I stated earlier, Mythology is not my best subject. So I could br wrong:D

It doesn't matter how he's depicted...use your imagination. In Clash of the Titans he's depicted as a skeleton in a hooded cloak, kinda like a ringwraith. I've seen other books where he's depicted as a gaunt old man. Just an FYI, though....Charon wasn't a god.

Thanks for the info.

Maybe I'll change my character to Hades,,,,,,,, I seem to be heading that way anyway.:D

dramatic start! like the color... fits charon and styx :)

Dang great start mate...

Not much done.

Added a texture or two
And a boat, (I think I'll make the boat a bit more ornate)
This ones a bit on the boring side.

(Also started on Face.... That will be the next Update)

The head so far.
