Description
My version of the the Gorgon sisters, from top to bottom: Euryale, Stheno, & Medusa.I worked on this piece on and off for several months, and I think I am finally done. The background is photomanipulation, but the foreground is digitally painted. I think this might be my best work yet, but please leave suggestions if you have any. Thanks.

I really likeΒ Euryale's fish-hair, and the fact she's screaming (mythology enyone?

I like it, very much. I wish I could do digital art, and I think I will try... this is very cool though.

This is great, except for the fact that Gorgons only have snakes as hair.
I like the layout of them though

consider it artistic freedom. it's not like no one ever changes the way mythological creatures are portrayed!

Yes, I know very well and understand that. And I do like the way that you have made this picture.
However most would say that a Unicorn is not a Unicorn without a horn, and I believe that a Gorgon is incomplete without snakes as hair; since that's how the legend/myth goes.
I never once said that the picture was terrible because of this; I was just making a statement.

And I appreciate that you liked the piece - I was also just making a statement.

Wow; this is awesome! I like the top one the best; those eel-thingys attached to her head are so freaking scary in real life! Great work!

I really like Medusa, how her eyes are green and the snakes yellow. It fits really good

Wow... this is absolutely fabulous. And I just love artwork that relates to mythology. ^-^
You've done a really nice job blending the animal parts with the heads.. I always have a hard time figuring out how to attach snake hair. lol
I'm so glad you could use my face for these women. I feel honored.
