Description
Harpy
They were generally depicted as birds with the heads of maidens, faces pale with hunger and long claws on their hands. Roman and Byzantine writers detailed their ugliness. Pottery art depicting the harpies featured beautiful women with wings. Ovid described them as human-vultures.

Last image that done using my slow laptop. Finally the village charity event in my college end, so I can work my next piece faster XD. This was simple photomanipulation which use small amount of stocks, so it not blow up my laptop XD. I want to make a poem about harpy but, I have no inspiration for that, so I just stick the wikipedia description above . This was actually for contest, but the deadline is already passed far so, yeah
.
Thanks for stock provider to let me use their beautiful stock image

cool concept playing the harp with the wing!! Personally i prefear more harpy partial monster/demon extremely terrifying and ready to kill anyone Expecially in movies i love these monsters, where in the years great cool artists had created many cool versions.
Little extra thought------------ Mattepainting and art of each type like games, movies have deep-rooted in depth the image of Harpy for this reason the title don't match with the work where we recognize immediately an angel and not the typical popular ancient harpy that we all know. Yes the description say why! but it isn't enough to convince it is an harpy Impossible!
Harpy/Angel? Few important here because the manip visually works good!

Welp I'm also unsure it was really harpy or angel ( or maybe both ) because the story about harpy is always scary monster which was half bird - human creature ( also they don't play harps XD ), the harpist imagery often brought by angelic figure. But guess what? The title rhyme pretty good, that's the reason maybe this "harpangel" or "angelepy" have my thought at first
Thanks for the nice feedback btw

The best harpy, like concept, for me is still that of Jason and the argonauts. Well the artist Ray Harryhausen is the father of skeleton warriors, harpy and others mithological monsters like Kraken, the gorgone etc..
