Medusa the Queen

... And it's done. Total time is around 15 hours, but if you add the amount of time I spent staring at this trying to decide what to do, it might have been well over 20 hours.

I'm for once happy about my work. I know it could be much better still, but I actually felt improvement in myself, and that made me... happy

If anybody is interested in the progress, let me know and I'll post it in the scraps section. I experimented with a new method to start a painting in this one, after 2 failed compositions using my usual method. I started from doodling out the silhouette and went from there. It was actually much more fun than posing characters based on my meager understanding of anatomy, and the costume turned out to be more interesting as well.

This may end up in my portfolio. Any critique will be carefully considered and full-heartedly welcomed.
