SF&F Picture 3 out of 40 by Jason Hood.

SciFi and Fantasy Art: Medusa

I drew her, thinking she would have a beautiful but pained face, but everyone who views it says it's demented and she is far from beautiful. I am very proud of my serpents though. The scales where time consuming but I think the effect made it worth the time.

15 May 2003		Loading... Aw, she is pretty! I be wondering, though, if her head's so full of snakes, has she any room for brains? Just wondering...you see, I don't have any. Anydiggle,great pic, I give it a 230483294.24502398403284098320.
3 Jun 2003	messsr (Tina B.)	Loading... Well, I'm a huge fan of the myth of Medusa, and in the story she is at first very beautiful, but she and her 2 sisters flaunt thier beauty, boasting that they are more beautiful than Athene, and so she curses them to be ugly, the youngest turning men into stone.So I think you still caught her as beautiful, just in a deep, evil sense of forbidding.All in all, I like it.poof

15 Nov 2003	Stine Kjærbøll	Loading... Oh, the way she stares at me... Makes it hard to look away... I really think that you made her a beauty - but what a sad feeling she gives me... Good work!
13 Jun 2004	Sirithhrivëien	Loading... Wow all those scales gets hypnotized by sheer simple detailing
22 Jun 2004	Sorry to be harsh critic	Loading... luv the snakes but... i would put smaller eyes, change the eyebrows a bit and have less wrinkles. If you want her to be foreboding then move her back a bit and straighten out her shoulders, then make her look down. Just ideas and also i cant draw so dont take the comments too harshly. Otherwise its great.

9 Jun 2005	J. lawrence	Loading... It is a teensy bit demented; just make the eyes smaller. But i can see that she was once beautiful!
10 Jun 2005	Robyn T. Ledenbach	Loading... I see her as anything but demented. I think she's beautiful, and sad. You can definately see that in her eyes. Great job on paying attention to detail...way shweet picture!!!
