Description
Thanks to 
for the beautiful reference photo [link] 
Many of you probably know the story of Medusa. She wasn't always an ugly creature. How she became a monster-like creature is a quite tragic story. That's why, instead of creating another art of vicious looking Medusa, I decided to drew something that symbolizes her beauty (the beautiful face) and the the tragedy (the snakes).
Original and prints are available at my website

Hi. I like your artwork. You must read Lauren J. A. Bear's debut novel, Medusa's Sisters (https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=Ne6aEAAAQBAJ), and listen to the unabridged narration by Zura Johnson and Taylor Harvey (https://play.google.com/store/audiobooks/details?id=AQAAAEBC7VqtCM). The Greek mythology-inspired novel is told from Stheno's and Euryale's points of view, showing readers the events in the sisters' lives, from their difficult childhood, the cruelty Poseidon and Athena subject poor Medusa to, the three sisters' transformation into Gorgons, and the aftermath of Medusa's death. Trust me, you'll be so emotionally affected by the plot that you'll never read the Greek myths same way ever again. You're welcome.🐍🐍🐍
