Things to Consider When Creating a Fictional Mythology

How many gods and goddesses are there?

How are the gods and goddesses related to each other? How similar are these relationships similar to human ones?

Is there a ‘chief’ god? What makes them the strongest one? Have they always been the strongest?

How much do the gods meddle with human affairs? What motivates them to get involved?

Can humans have kids with gods? What special abilities to these kids have? How are they viewed by society?

Do humans pray, make offerings, or do other things to try to appease the gods?

Do people and/or societies tend to worship one god or goddess at a time, a handful that reflect their interests and priorities, or the whole pantheon? How does this vary between people and cultures? How do people who worship different gods or worship them to different degrees interact?

Which gods are the most widely revered? 

What is the mythology’s creation myth? How does that reflect society’s values?

What traits does the mythology tend to idolize? What does it demonize? Have people’s interpretations of these things changed over time?

Who are the main, famous heroes of this mythology? What makes them so well regarded?

Do gods have different names, personalities, or physical portrayals in different cultures?

Have details about some gods been lost over time?

Do gods and goddesses look like humans? Animals? Something else entirely?

How have various myths been sanitized over time to make them more tame or child friendly? How many different versions of each myth are there?

ps alternatives.

the arguement that one must be incredibly talented to use photoshop is pathetic. graphics, in a better sense are a visual way to see into the world of ones creation and mind. you don’t need the most over-the-top visuals to get your message across. simplicity can do just the trick. for those of you who don’t have photoshop or money to afford the progam should have a look at these websites! 

gimp - a bit rough around the edges, but gimp has a wonderful toolbar and various adjustment levels. one can also edit gifs on this free software.
