In the original story, the Medusa was a beautiful woman who held a very positive role.
Tragedy fell upon her when she was confronted with endless hardships brought upon by male actions. Medusa was a beautiful woman who was raped, killed and beheaded by various gods.
However even in the face of tragedy and disgrace, the Medusa was portrayed as meaningful. Following the moment her head was removed, a Pegasus flew out of her body, representing the birth of beauty.

Some pages from my sketch book:
Thor's Hammer from yesterday
Buddha sketch for the paper mache wall hanging/mask i'm making this afternoon. He looks maori.
Seth's Dragon: Basic Details- Horns, Teeth, Eye
Seth's Dragon: Close up of scales
Seth's Dragon: Scales and Shading
Seth's Dragon: Done
The dragon wasn't planned, I just had the idea of making scales after playing with the bucket of paper pulp I started to make last night. I'm not sure if i want to make him as a sculpture or as a 3d wall hanging like Buddha is going to be.
Paper Mache time!
