Lady Medusa

Description

It was about time I drew my favourite lady again...after looking through loads of other impressions of her, something got to me....why is it that Medusa's snakes are almost always portrayed as green, when very very few dangerous snakes are green, many more are brown. I like to think they'd be dangerous. So I researched a little to see what kinds of snakes are prevelant in Greece - asps are apparently. So her head is covered in asps...hurrah!

I took reference from a picture of Vivien Leigh, as I was watching Gone with the Wind at the time, and she's all kinds of awesome.
