Description
I do this theme-every-two-weeks challenge with a friend of mine, and this week's theme was: Monster.
Medusa is my all-time favourite 'monster' because she is one that wasn't born to be one, but turned into one when she wasn't even at fault (if that makes sense? Argh, my brain's dead today OTL). Anyways, this stupid horny sea god Poseidan decided to rape her in the temple of Atheeeena. Basically Athena wasn't happy at all and instead of kicking Poseidan's ass she zapped Medusa's beautiful hair into snakes. Nice one.
(I can't be bothered to write a formal comment about this
)
So yeah.
Anways, I used watercolours for this one and it's the first time that I've painted skin in watercolours. I've decided that I don't really like it that much and need a hell of a lot more practise with it.
Also, what pen do you normally use to outline your picture when you want to paint over it? When I used normal pen the ink bled like crazy and ruined my picture >_<

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.🐍🐍🐍
