SciFi and Fantasy Art: Eve's Temptation

Recently, I saw the play, 'The Diary of Adam and Eve,' based on Mark Twain's story. In this composition, I combined the Biblical with the mythical, to create something magical. People look at it and usually say 'Ooh, Medusa,' or 'That snake is licking her breast.' And.. really, I'm sick of hearing that. I also hear that she needs to look 'more evil.' If she looked evil and frightening, Eve would have screamed and ran away, now wouldn't she?
