http://www.mythweb.com/today/today04.html ====My idea that I am going to present is a Greek god called Midas. Midas is a mythical Greek god who had a magical touch of gold, everything that he touched turned into gold. I am going to portray an example of this everything turning to gold, bring Midas to life and his legends become true. It was a burden to have this gift of changing everything. I am going to change it up and make it that my model is going to make this and ugly burden, he/she is going to be cursed with everything they touch dies. He or she now lives in a dead place, run down, so she couldn't harm anything else. ====

http://www.gods-and-monsters.com/black-eyed-people.html ====I found that this topic was interesting, the black eyed people. As I read through this I found that these creatures or beings gave me a thought of creating my own sickly pale, ghostly like person with black eyes. People have said that they are just like vampires, asking to come in to your home or care, if you do give them permission they will take you places but there is not much known after that because people don't remember, but if you don't give them permission they wont live you alone until you do but they are still not let inside. I thought by using a model I could make them look just like a black eyed being standing outside a window waiting for someone to let them in. ====

http://www.gods-and-monsters.com/mythology-griffin.html ====I found the griffin mix up to be very interesting and I thought I could make my own type of griffin. Using the information on what a griffin is and using the idea of this image on the top left I wanted to create something like this, the same type of story and what they are used for but putting a human in some sort of creepy animal form. But this new human-demon is guarding something, like a dark past or a burden that it cant forget, it has done something wrong and its was cursed into being this new creature. ====
