Description
This is my take on Medusa, I have the whole body planned out but I wanted to concentrate on the head first. She will have four large monstrous snakes supporting the weight of her body while she dangles down between them, two on either side of her. I’m undecided at the moment if she should have the lower half of a snake or if I want her to have legs.The lack of any real mouth on the design was intentional, I wasn’t just being lazy. I had the idea that it would be the large snakes which act as her mouth, so she wouldn’t need one.
The plan is to turn this design into a sculpt, something I’m quite excited about. I hope you like it.

This is one of the best designs I have seen of Medusa
I really love how ugly she looks, just like the myth described her
a nice change from all off the top-model versions of her

Agreed. She's supposed to be "so hideous she turns those that gaze upon her to stone". This begs the question though; what if someone sincerely found her arousing? XD Or at the very least "cool" looking rather than terrible?

Just did a tattoo based on this awesome design. Just had to redo the snakes for a more tattooable look. Thanks Bro.
