Oh I didn't think we were supposed to answer on here... As I'm still lurking - I'm not too confident in my drawing skills (especially since I haven't drawn anything in ages - I've only started again a few days ago) ^^ but I guess I still like the trivia :)

He actually turned more than one person into stone with the Gorgons head. First he turned Atlas - the king who didn't want to help him and then later on he turned Phineas or something at the wedding.

And ahh thank you for the welcome ^^

Edit: I think I got that messed up... 1. Atlas 2. Phineas at the wedding with Andromeda and 3. Polydektes who was still trying to marry his mother. (I had to look up the names, but I was pretty sure of the killing :) - and wow that sounds terrible ...
