SciFi and Fantasy Art Medusa Colored by Werner Mueck


	Medusa on a wooden throne, sketched, inked, photocopied and colored in colored pencil. She's wearing a medieval bodice, I know already, it was on purpose so don't e-mail me about it if your a history buff. Reference used, several different photos for the body pose, that's about it.

17 Sep 2004	Hanna Aakkonen	Loading... first comment dance I saw your message about updating at the Garden and.. Oh Wow. This one is my favorite, absolutely. Colors are perfect. (forgive me as I'm not very good at giving compliments) ... great work ^^ Werner Mueck replies: "Thank you. I'm not sure what the time delay is between the gallery being posted and the mod's choice pickings. When I posted at the Garden I didn't know about the mod's choice."
17 Sep 2004	Amy Lange	Loading... I like this immensely. Especially the bold comic-style shading coupled with those bright colors (Prisma markers?). You know, in the Renaissance and so on and so forth it was very common to put mythical characters in contemporary costume, so why not? It works rather well in this. On second thought, have you ever seen Minoan statuary? (Or was it Cretan? I don't remember.) Very often the women are wearing a sort of boobless corset thing quite similar to what Medusa's got. Coincidence? Who knows...... Werner Mueck replies: "I've given up rationalizing things . The color was from colored pencils (prismacolor brand)."
18 Sep 2004	Martha Elizabeth Cundiff	Loading... Reminds me of the sort of style seen on Gregory Maguire's covers. ("Wicked", "Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister", "Mirror, Mirror", "Lost".) Very well done. I epecially love her eyes, and the shadow on the chair.
18 Sep 2004	Hilary 'Roy' Mussell	Loading... This is really great! I love how you made her green. She reminds me of a comic book. Lovely
18 Sep 2004	Betsy Tzu-hua Yeh	Loading... This is very cool... I like how you did the shadow on the chair, the interior of the dark room, and very nice anatomy! Good use of references it turns out realli well Werner Mueck replies: "Thanks, I drew the chair from scratch so any good comment about the chair is a welcome comment."
18 Sep 2004	Rachel A. Matz	Loading... You know, I came upon this yesterday and I was about to leave a comment saying "This should get Mod's Choice!" but had to leave. Aynways, congrats on the great work!
18 Sep 2004	Katie A. La Bruyere	Loading... I love the way you did her eyes, it freaked me out at first because they looked so life like. The shading is wonderful to and the pose, exactly how long did it take to make it just right? Werner Mueck replies: "I can't remember. The eyes were pretty easy though. I left a small circle white in the b&w drawing and when I colored in the yellow, I colored out past the black and it turned out looking pretty creepy."
18 Sep 2004	Georg Marquardt	Loading... THe way she's staring at you. Ack, can't typ, turning to sto
