  • Title: King Midas
  • Artist: SirBaka
  • Description: "The richest man in the world is to starve to death?"

    The myth of King Midas was about a greedy king obsessed with gold. One day a fairy came upon him and gave him the curse of being able to turn anything into gold - the furniture he sat on, the things he bought, the food he tried to eat, and even the daughter he loved. My avatar depicts King Midas turning his daughter into gold.

    The avatar is not suppose to match the reference picture, but the scene from the myth described.

  • I thought it was a faun, which was a vassal of Dyonisus that gave him this ability after he helped him. All I know is that it was through Dyonisus though.

  • This is an idea for the original arena. It is your own depiction of a scene in a myth. You don't have any factual clothing to make references too. You don't say "The avatar is not suppose to match the reference" because the voters have nothing to go by. You aren't cosplaying someone or something specific. The originality is cool, but if the scene has no set in stone details and you alter them around however you please, it's not a cosplay.

  • Wasn't it Dyonisus that gave him one wish and he wished that he could turn anything he touched into gold? Anyway, this should of placed 1st.
