Done as a quick sketch for a proposed line of mythological figures, I looked at it and decided that it was too close to the old Clash of the Titans version.

Maybe it is too close, but the figure work, detailing, shading, expressions... those are GREAT. You come sit at my feet for lace and costuming, I'll come sit at yours for dynamic expressions and anatomy.

Oooh I like the twist on the mythology! "bout time the evil wenches strike back. Sheesh people always killing them just cause they aren't as pretty as the other girls. Hehehe very cool.

:-) Chris M. Rubenstahl replies: "Heh... in a weird, psychological sense, it's obvious why people turn to stone when they see Gorgons. "

Too much like clash of the titans? Well how many ways are there to draw the gorgon??? Seriously! hehehehee.. She is a beautiful woman with snakes for hair.

:-) Chris M. Rubenstahl replies: "Indeed! Thanks for visiting, and in response, I'd say there are a lot of ways to draw a Gorgon. It just so happens I like Ray Harryhausen's version a lot, except mine is nowhere near as scaly as his."

A bit too fuzzy, but nice details just the same ^_^

:-) Chris M. Rubenstahl replies: "Thanks. I redrew the entire thing recently, for a supplement on mythic monsters, but I don't currently have the drawing to rescan it. Any fuzziness on this version is due to my ineptness with scanners. Again, thanks for stopping by and commenting."

Ahhh so instead of Persus cutting off medusa's head, medusa cuts off his head. How Ironic I love it!

:-) Chris M. Rubenstahl replies: "Interesting interpretation... I drew it thinking about all of Medusa's previous victims, before Perseus put paid to her account. Still, art's about perception and interpretation."
