Tag As FavoriteComment		This is from my retelling of the story of Medusa the Gorgon, a portion of which can be found at my Wyvern's Library section. Avia is feeling sorry for herself after being thrown out of Olympus, and who better to sympathize than a very emotional weeping-willow nymph.

Ooooh. The nymph is lovely-I love the expression on her face and how she melds into the weeping willow, especially her hair! And Avia is so pretty, and so full emotion. It's lovely. Congrats on Mod's Choice!

A very well-drawn and emotional image. 2 Superb job on the tree/nymph, although there is some room for improvement in Medusa.

The transformation from hair to leaves is very well done

I've read the medusa story and I don't remember anything about a character named Avia.

Avia's expression is classic! This picture is fantastic.

Well, if you ever decided to do a Roman retelling of the myths-- would be interesting to see two sides-- you could always add THE UNKNOWN GOD. The Romans had so many gods that they were worried that they might have missed one, so they had one statue called THE UNKNOWN GOD. Then the Apostle Paul came and told them all about Him.

Nice drawing. I like the willow's hair.

The way the tree seems to be her dress and her hair is turning into the leaves is awesome. I also like the border; it gives the pice a more classical feel.
