Description Felt like drawing a picture of Medusa (as you do ) but I wanted to show her a bit more stylised and 'pretty'. Funnily enough, as I was drawing this Clash of the Titans was on tv! Medusa in that used to scare the hell outta me as a kid, but I love that film.

hahaha, I think you should do one of the Kracken as well I like your style for medusa. She has more of a tribal look to her, done very nicely.

This actually looks like a design, for perhap a t-shirt or skateboard? You might want to think about trying that out with some designs

*Laughs* The Kracken, now there's an idea! Thanks - hmm, I hadn't thought of that before; I couldn't imagine anyone wearing a t-shirt with my designs on it. ^_^;;

Well, the medusa design looks too perfect for it not to be used as a design. With the colour layout, it would be perfect for a silscreening to make shirts or to put on a book bag or something

Uuuhh, I'm useless at silkscreening....but I'd be quite happy to let someone else do it. Doesn't that cafe press website do something like that? I don't have a clue what it's all about though.

Yes, I think they do, but I never gave that sight much of a look. Mostly because you would have to pay for the service

Very fab.

Is that Medusa reaching for the Calpol bottle in the image? Snakes are giving her a headache! Hey Asti if I cut your head off, will Calpol pour out?
Very cool pic my dear, watched ya draw some of it, and very weird that Clash of the Titans was on at the same time.

Why yes it is. That, or Nurofen. ;D Hmmm dunno, won't know til you try! Ah, I used to love Calpol (the pink one, not the disgusting 'orange flavour' one! Bleh!) Yeah, isn't that a strange coincidence? Ah well, it was good inspiration! Cheers, m'dear.

Haha, must say you've been nicer to Medusa than ray harryhausen, not a scale in sight. Luv those eyes...very penetrating, and the white snakes work perfectly.

I wouldnt mind the snakes for hair, or the snake's tail instead of legs, but the blood that looks like pepto bysmol, imagine the circulation problems.

I was thinking about the scales! Then I just
thought 'buggerit'. Heh, I had the most fun colouring those eyes. Thanks!

*Laughs* No no, it's Calpol! Only less edible. ;D I dunno, I reckon if I had snakes for hair, they'd be fighting one another. 9_9

Thats it! calpol, thats what its called...haha, I just realised, the pink background is calpol colour.

well, would the snakes have their own individual brains or be controlled by your own brain...what a pointless question

greyflea In reply to Mablox [2004-06-21 00:40:45 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm....well since they're mine, and I like to be difficult, they'd all have seperate brains; all the better to argue with.

Just sat here for five minutes and tried to decide what medium you used to do this. Still stumped!

I agree that the eyes are wonderful, but it's the snakes that really caught my eye - you did really well to make them so lifelike and yet keep the stylistic touch. NICE!

Oh, and kudos on the hands - they're fantastic! Oh, and I caught some of Clash of the Titans on TV today as well!

I used my beloved fountain pen and gel pens! Aw, thankyou, thankyou - those snakes were a pain. My eyes kept going blurry lookin' at the pattern on them! *laughs*

Ah, did you? Isn't it great? I'd love a horse like Pegasus. Maggie Smith's very creepy in that film.
