I don't know why people describe Medusa as a monster with scales and stuffs. From what I know, Medusa was a beautiful creature with hair like a shining sun, so beautiful she win Poseidon's heart! Unfortunately, Athena envy her and curse her hair into living snakes. From that time, whoever sees her paralyzed by her beauty and horror and turned into marble. She was so ashamed that she hides herself with her sister the Gorgon. That is until Perseus slayed her! Boy...I hate bad ending!

*update* Hahaha, I think i have the wrong version isn't it? But anyway, thanks for the correction everyone, but I like the story anyway, so I think i'll keep her :)

Actually, "Gorgon" is the name of three sisters born of a diety and a mortal: Two, Euryale and Stheno, were immortal. The third, Medusa (Duh)was a mortal(unfair, unfair). for the rest, it is exact.

Oh, great pic by the way.

I really like your description (even though others say it’s something else). He anatomy is great.

you’re mixing up a Gorgon with a manticore. Gorgons were women (actually nymphs), not monsters. The manticore is the monster with the scorpion tail and the spikes and whatnot.

Very beautiful work, though I will not get into the religious discussion. Seeing as I have worshiped Athena some thirty or more years now. I very much thank you for sharing your wonderful talent.
