Wonderful! I love how evil she looks, and yet her eyes caress her favorite little creature. Great choice of color as well!

what an amazing work!
creepy and ethereal... but stunning
the intricacy of the snakes, the way they weave in and out... wow!

Thank you. I studied a book on snakes I have to get them right (as right as possible ).
Sorry for the late reply.

This is a very cool take on the "Gorgon" character. Sweet, yet a bit disturbing.

Beautifully done.

maria-jaujou In reply to Manshi [2007-04-03 07:59:41 +0000 UTC]

bull. i've seen your backgrounds. the dotted quality gives them away as rough paintings, but the colors are dead on.

Just love it but i wish there could be like a bigger version of it like a full body shot of her full self since gorgons were half serpent half human (nagas) but hey its still awesome.

Manshi In reply to Immortal-Fire [2006-10-16 20:23:03 +0000 UTC]

Nagas? I haven't thought about them that way, but it seems logical. I also wanted to give her scaly skin but I suck at textures.
Thanks for the comment. ^^

Wow. I really love it. I really do. Medusa was always my favorite in Greek legends. Mainly becuase I am (and always have been) a snake lover, and I wished my hair were snakes instead. Keeps creeps away from you, thats for sure.
But really it looks absolutley beautiful. Keep up the good work.

Manshi In reply to Transient-Orca [2006-09-19 10:38:58 +0000 UTC]

I love snakes too! And I'm sure it's easier to tame snakes than to comb my hair.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Transient-Orca In reply to Manshi [2006-09-19 23:32:23 +0000 UTC]

Oh, yeah I agree. I have very fine, thick, curly hair. So it's horrible to brush. Thats why my mom straghtens it sometimes. Infact, one of my friends past time a year ago, was trying to uncurl my curls in school. She sat behind me, and we had free time she tried to uncurl my hair. It's quite funny, she got so frustrated.
But yeah, if I could choose, I would probably rather have snakes for hair.

Muy bien elaborado y con una combinaciΓ³n de colores perfecta. TambiΓ©n destaca la expresiΓ³n de la gorgona. Sin embargo hay un pequeΓ±o desequilibrio de mandΓ­bulas por parte de las serpientes, lo que las hace "mofletudas", pero aparte de eso es una pieza muy buena

Manshi In reply to MaestroTomberi [2006-09-05 12:15:24 +0000 UTC]

La verdad es que me daba que habΓ­a algo mal con las serpientes, pero no habΓ­a pensado en lo de mofletudas y ahora que lo mencionas creo que es eso.
Muchas gracias por el comentario. ^^

I love it

VixenValkyrja [2006-05-23 12:35:44 +0000 UTC]

Absolutely beautiful! I'm almost so jealous to see how people can paint or draw, I've never been very good at it myself. Even digital paintings leave me in awe. I would have liked to see a tad bit more highlights/detail oh the hair, but the snakes for example are wonderful!

Manshi In reply to VixenValkyrja [2006-05-24 11:03:32 +0000 UTC]

Thanks ^^
And I also think that the hair is a bit dull. Next time I'll work that a bit more.
