Artist's Comments

Alternate titles with bad puns:
"Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder"
"Here's Looking at You, Kid"
"Stunning Beauty"
"She's to Die For"
...and so on.

So what is it about beautiful women that can easily kill? Does it sate the little masochist inside everyone? Or does the extra risk make the beauty all the more worth it?

I'm not sure why I drew a gorgon (aka "what Medusa is", aka "snake-haired monster lady that turns people into stone with a glance") like this. I mean, they're traditionally hideous and scary. This version has tusks and wings and claws and everything. Yet that little voice inside my head - an inspirational one, not a psychotic one - told me, "Make her pretty! Make her dangerously pretty!" And so I did. And this gorgon is very pretty and very dangerous. Nothing new, but I still like the concept of dangerous women with claws.
Maybe the voice I listened to was just ever so slightly psychotic...

Also, how do snake-haired people style their hair? Or cut it? Goodness, those poor snakes must hate it. IF anyone asks, the rest of the ends of the little snake-hairs are tucked into that bun. Yups. It's totally not because I was too lazy to draw all of the snakes.

Things that still bug me but are too much work to fix: her left thigh/upper leg looks too long and her butt looks weird. I SAID BUTT. KEKEKE.


Requested by :iconemperornortonii:. My apologies if you were expecting a big scary hideous gorgon!
