Description Painter X | 6 hours

A 'quickie' that turned into a longie. The snake heads were originally pointing out-of-canvas, which screwed the composition over. (What's so interesting over there). I also finished colouring it, hated it, so deleted all four colour layers and started over. Much happier with this version.

Her ear is too low, some of the shadow values are wrong (the shadow on her forehead is darker than that on her neck, which is pretty screwed up) and the 'veins' are a bit funky looking... which is why I faded them so much... all of those details could be fixed up, but I'm too lazy.

Yep.

Gift art for Corey on soul-fantasy.net. It's a fanart of his proposed new RP character, Madusa. No, I didn't mistype Medusa, that is her name.

I'm much more comfortable with Painter now. Enough to try something bigger? We'll see....

I think you could have done
a bit more detailing on the face,
but I love the detail on the forehead
and the glow of the cheeck crease.
You did wonderfully on the snake hair
and putting her in green skin
really accented her role.

Is that why you got so mad about my 'high ear'? XP

Yeah, it's pretty. I like the highlight on her cheek. The lines seem more sketchy than your usual style - deliberate?

Well, it was drawn with the scratchboard tool instead of the pencil, so I guess you could call it deliberate

Ear placement is a pain in the ASS. I've always drawn them too low, no idea why. I think I picked up some half assed 'proportion' rule from some drawng manual and then never bothered to check it out with direct observation.

So... green. o.o

Besides the low ear, awesome.

That's pretty good. Ear's the only thing that's out.

I like the idea of a gorgon with a blindfold, although I guess that credit goes to the character's creator more than anything else.

But yeah. Good .

Yeah, she's a 'good' gorgan, so she wears it when hanging around ordinary people.

I have a tendency to favour low ears :/

Thanks for the comment
