The Flirtationby ~Flrmprtrix

Contests / 2012 / Train Your Brain / Illustration

WIP sketch, ipad, sketchclub. in my opinion, Medusa really got the short end of the stick, what with being raped, cursed, and beheaded. i'd like to imagine a version where things turn out a little differently.

i never actually do sketches as a foundation for a painting, but am giving it a try--i have no idea what i'm doing. i haven't figured out the background at all, so the scribbles are just a placeholder. i don't know why she's wearing completely anachronistic armor, i don't know why i picked a peaceful olive tree as shield decoration, and i haven't worked out how to get around the nakedness without actually covering him up.

loosely-used reference photos were the july vogue brazil shoot, and a photo of tom hardy, because Perseus always seemed like such a square, and could benefit from some hardiness.

an (much much) older take on these two here: [link]

She DID have it pretty rough. This is nice.

the mythological figure, Medusa, was originally a loving mother, and the snakes for hair represented a sort of divine heavenly-ness. when Greece became more patriarchal culture, she was named a villain.
