Hello and welcome to Mythos!

The first cycle of a mythological-based competition, we'll be focusing on the popular global legends of old - Greek, Norse and Egyptian myths alongside local folklore surrounding various parts of the world. From creepy creatures to god-like figures from history, your picture will be rewriting their stories!

All of the assignments will give you a lot of free rein on what you'd like to portray, as requirements will only give you very basic pointers in the right direction. I aim for this to let your creativity really shine through, so mostly anything goes in your shots. You retell these legends!

Prefer fantasy over fashion? Sign-ups below! I'll be accepting 10 models with 8 rounds, but if more would like to enter, the mock will be an elimination round.

Scoring will be out of a possible 100.

Creativity ?/20: Did this shot really wow you? We're looking for who really took our breath away with impact.
Lore-friendly ?/20: I'll be keeping assignment briefings short and sweet, but who really read that over, and took in the clues? Who did their research?
Model Styling ?/20: Self-explanatory. Are Medusa's snakes looking as clean and fresh as they should be? Is that beer I see on your heroes shoes? Keep your model looking good and fitting their style!
Setting ?/20: Just what does that Sphinx think it's doing in the middle of the jungle? Get back to the pyramids! - Be sure your setting fits what you're looking to portray.
Overall ?/20: Putting all of the above requirements together, did everything work in harmony?
