Initial Proposal.

For my research project for COP3 I intend to study historically mythical characters. I’ve chosen this topic, as prior to this I have done research into historical fact and fiction, and into fan theory. I feel that this is a good intertwining topic with both my prior topics of choice.

I plan to do research in the form of watching documentaries, visiting the library and doing research on historically mythical figures. I have already watched several documentaries regarding this topic and am already a little knowledgeable on the subject.

I feel my ending output could be that of creating designs for these characters in a way I envision. I may create a model of one, but my initial idea was to create illustrated character designs. I have always had an interest in history, and a greater interest into myth and legend, therefore combining both is something that really fascinates me. Books
