Again, I am a little late with this one. Different reason this time. It wasn’t because I wasn’t motivated, or didn’t want to work on this. I worked on her every single day. It’s probably just easier if I show you.

Queeeeeeeeeen! Yes, Medusa! I have always loved the design potential that Medusa’s story had to offer. I am not a huge fan of snakes, but their potential in an illustration is undeniable.

Originally, I wanted to save her for a series of some kind (ladies of literature), so I didn’t put her in the queue right away. But the past couple of months were a little rocky creatively, and I got so excited about the idea of working out a Medusa image that I knew I couldn’t wait any longer. I worked on this project every day this month, and I loved every minute. I learn from each of my pieces, but I really learned a lot from this one. I feel like this one pushed my file setup and style a little further.

I am beyond happy with how this beauty came out. To see better colours, check her out at my Behance site. Happy May all!
