[QUOTE]Originally posted by dbutler1986: [QB] Pelops is Greek. He wasn't a god, but a man. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelops I dunno what to represent him by...I don't think an ivory shoulder would quite work :) Probably just an ivory Spartan-sort of helmet. Nirrti was Hindu - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirrti Again, don't know what to represent her by, but as the goddess of Death, perhaps a skull. Kali wasn't four-armed; the extra arms were severed limbs worn as a girdle. There's a good description under the Iconography section of the appropriate Wiki entry - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kali#Iconography The most relevant section, I think, would be [QUOTE]In most early representations, skulls, cemeteries, and blood are associated with her worship. She is black, naked and emaciated. Her face is azure, streaked with yellow, her glance is ferocious; her disheveled and bristly hair is usually shown splayed and spread like the tail of a peacock and sometimes braided with green serpents.[/QUOTE]So, I'd think a ferocious female blue face, streaked with yellow, with Medusa-like hair. Certainly would be neat-looking on the screen. Chronos was the god of time, depicted as an old man with a long beard....so perhaps a Greek-esque form of the typical Egyptian Pharoahic deathmask, with a longer beard? Zapacna is incorrect; it's spelt Zipacna, and he was a demon in Mayan mythology. He was depicted by a large caiman (a crocodilian reptile) so that'd be a good helmet. Cool-looking too! Very very cool idea. Hope I've helped. [/QB][/QUOTE]
