Dont Trust The Midas Touch

My entry for 's "Mythology" Challenge.

Here we have my OCs, Charlie, playing the role of King Midas, and Patty, playing the role of Midas' daughter, whatever her name is (Honestly, I can't find it). Midas has been given a gift, that whatever he touches turns to gold. It isn't long before Midas realizes that his gift is actually a curse, and in this scene, actually turns his daughter into stone.

As an extra bonus, there's Apollo, the Sun God, pulling the sun across the sky. Although you can't see him real well, he's played by another of my OCs, Henry.

I really enjoyed trying to recreate the texture of gold. I hope I got it right.
