Description
A while back I got the idea to redo one of my very early images, sort of a comparison to see how much I've learned over the years. I always wanted to update the image I had of Medusa titled Drop Dead Gorgeous, and after seeing the previews for the new Clash of the Titans movie coming out soon, I got my but in gear.
And in case you are wondering...yes, getting all those snakes on her head was as much a pain in the butt as it was last time, maybe even more so since I used more snakes this time.
Thanks for checking it out.

Ok, that is officially an awesome bit of work!
very, very nice. Great attention to detail and lighting. Love it! Gib
Excellent and truly awesome work! Very well done!
I really like this--you got her to be beautiful, which she was in the myth, and pretty terrifying as well! Plus it's just a joy to see how well composed and lit this is. And anyone who tells you those are easy pose snakes has never posed them;)
Nicely Done! its all there.
Outstanding! I count about 40 snakes...you are a person of infinite patience to pose them all so well! This is not to mention the beautiful pose, lighting and other effects...wow! Applause!

Splendid imaga, gorgeous character and a great scene! ************
Awesome render!!!!!!
Fabulous image! see that you had a hard time to make her snake hair!! you did it well.
Prettiest Medusa I've ever seen.... been say'n to myself for years I was going to make one - some day... just other things are taking more priority.... I like how sexy you made her, but I think I'm gonna have to go my toward the Ugly character = lol - spookier that way = lol
If Medusa is this gorgeous, I don't mind staring at her eyes and turning into stone LOL. You did a more than perfect job with this one, you are truly an Artist by blood. Great, fine work!
she rocks man, still would not stare her in her eyes. the render and detail are fantastic. most beautiful work. instant fave,, steve
Wow, very fine piece of artwork.
Wow that's a lot of snakes to pose...having done something similar (but with less snakes), I feel your pain. :) Great work.

Outstanding image!!!!!
Excellent render.
WOOOOOWW Raddar!! This is one of your best ever! Perfect from top to bottom. The pose and lighting are superb. The detail with the weapons and and armor left behind by vanquished challengers, covered in cobwebs is incredibly well done. The nice shadowing adds excellent depth to this gorgeous piece. I can see where putting all those snakes on her head would be a challenge but you pulled it off expertly. Superb job and a definite favorite! 500 stars.
Fantastic composition! Most Xcellent modeling work and character development! AmaZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzing ambiance lighting! Bravo!!!
Really a perfect work! Amazing scene! Bravo!!!
