Description:

I'm going to be hosting a series of ATC swaps for each of the 12 Olympian Gods of Greek/Roman mythology. The first is the King of the Gods himself: Zeus/Jupiter.
Here's his wikipedia page:wiki

You will make 1 card for 1 partner featuring Zeus/Jupiter. All media are welcome, but do a good job here! No just slapping a sticker on cardstock or gluing a button to a computer printout of some clip-art, and NO DISNEY. Spend time on it and make something you would be proud to send and delighted to receive.

I want the people who do the whole series to have a full set of 12 cards at the end of it, so the requirements will be fairly strict. 4.9 rating, with at least 10 completed snailmail swaps. Sorry, no newbies for this one (if you don't meet the qualifications but would like to swap for a card or two with a similar theme, PM me).

Great idea! This is on my watchlist for now...

Watching this one for now, to make sure I have the proper amount of time for it.

The first thing I thought of when I saw this swap was how many strange things and people Zeus had sex with! Now I'll have to try super hard to think of any other topic for my card...

enzyme- if we are partnered, would love to get your ATC on Zeus' sex partners :)

howunremarkable 06/18/2009 #

Hah, I'd be interested in that one as well... :)

KatarinaNavane 06/22/2009 #

heehee I'd be very amused by that as well. Mostly he just had sex with women and the occasional boy (ganymede), but he changed into various animals to do it... a swan for Leta, a bull for Io and Europa, etc.

Speaking of... I would probably use something with some nudity... any speculations/restrictions on this one?

I prefer my ATC creator to have full creative liberties...

I don't mind nudity either, I am very open to what I receive, I won't get offended. Also, does it have to be a picture of just Zeus, or can it be a symbol of him like the lightening bolt and like Mount Olympus, his name in Greek alphbet, something representing him or just him as the god figure...just thought I would ask...Thanks for this swap! Awesome idea!

What a cool swap idea! Nudity is fine with me!

KatarinaNavane 06/28/2009 #

I don't mind nudity but I'd advise you PM your partner to be sure.

Naughtyelf--I'd rather it be a bit more complex than just a lightning bolt but it doesn't have to be a portrait either.

Oh, I was going to do more than that! lol I was just trying to give some examples...thanks!
