Serpent's Spellby *Ironshod

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Fantasy

The Medusa is a great character and I enjoyed painting this darker style image. I hope by using a symmetrical composition and lighting effects the focus is brought to her face and mesmerizing gaze.

The idea behind the subject of this artwork was a powerful sorceress who has cast a spell to make herself appear as the Medusa and hypnotise her "prey". Perhaps the writers amongst you have some other ideas as to what is happening or could elaborate on this theme?

Thanks to ~mjranum-stock whose photograph I used as reference when painting the figure

This is the best Medusa I have ever seen! I think it is told that Medusa was a very gorgeous woman and one of the many goddesses of Greek mythology cursed her because they were jealous, or perhaps she had done something to offend the goddess. I can't remember the exact details. But I think you have captured the rage of cursed years and of her deadly beauty and charm very well.

medusa was cursed by a goddess because she fell in love with Posiden and slept with him in the goddesses temple. anyways, the goddess was so angry she turned medusa and her two sisters who had helped her into gorgons.
