Medusa was an ageless woman, tall and thin, but one that held a frighteningly beautiful composure. Her mane writhed with snakes, their eyes staring all round her. Silver jewellery chinked as she walked, changing from day to day to match her outfits. She fit perfectly into whatever style or fashion she chose to wear, black to match her smooth fur.
Medusa was a powerful woman, able to seduce the weaker men and bend them to her will with her stony glare. She keeps her good company close, and indeed, her enemies closer. Her connections make her a woman to know, whether she can be trusted or not. Medusa isn't the sort to show her emotions, nor genuinely care for others.
Deceitful and dangerous.


She's thinner than I've depicted. I found a good photo reference ([link] Though I don't think she'll appreciate me putting a horses head on her body. Sssh) and went with it. She also has more jewellery than I drew. And the cobra would look like a cobra. And her shoes would- you get the picture.
Her name is somewhat... Ok, trying to be clever again- What if the pegasus that came out of the real Gorgon Medusa looked somewhat like her?
I'm fed up of bat wings. Sadly. They're a big fuss to draw to a good standard. These aren't great, she has two different looking wings.
So, the ol' picture was going a bit downhill till I shaded her body. I was grinning again: OMG she's glowing. That kinda thing.
Background sucks. If you can't see my silly signiture, you need shooting.
And I'm waffling;
My entry to *odduckoasis' contest! If you have a spare... 1 or 2 days, then enter! Hoorah for that silly American holiday thing for kids. Hallo-whatsit?

PLEASE do not fave without a comment. What makes this different from my other artworks? Why do you like it?

She actually looks quite beautiful as an equine.
Love the detailing in this. The glow, the folds in the dress.
The best part is definately the smug "yeah, I know, I'm sexy" expression on her face :)

I always love seeing artist's personal renditions of ancient gods/godesses.
Good stuff! :)
