Medusa: seduced by Poseidon in the temple of Athena, then punished by Athena with hair of living serpents and a glance that turned men to stone.
She was later decapitated by the heroic Perseus who was heroically armed to the teeth with godly gifts (without which he'd have been heroic marble dust...)
Seductress, victim, monster, or plaything of the fickle gods, (or all of the above). You decide.

Best Medusa ever! To often, she's given a monstrous look that you wonder why men would look upon her anyway.

All of the above. What "mixed media" specifically? The effect is wonderful.

Oh, she looks seductive yet, even after having become a Gorgon! As if her beauty had changed from a certain kind to another one, mysterious and dangerous in an equal manner... The use of colors is awesome, and I liked the reptilian treatment on her skin, like an exotic make-up.
You have both a vigorous and elegant outline, and I feel a certain Art Nouveau influence in it. Congrats!! :clap:

It was once said that love is giving someone the ability to destroy you, but trusting them not to.

Ooh, yes. Medusa was still a looker when she was transformed! People should remember that. ;)
