Medusa I

Worked on this for 5 hours today! Or something like that. Maybe 7.
But for a first deviation I'm pretty happy with this. Except the background. I'm not very good with backgrounds. Someday, I hope to advance to a point where the background is actually some distinguishable figure and not just some color dump.

This image is a second draft of a digital painting I was meaning to do. I approach digital painting by drawing an outline first and deleting it at the end, which I had tried to circumvent the first time around. It didn't work so well and I defaulted Lately I've been looking into cyberpunk culture as inspiration for my art (I usually use some kind of cultural movement, historical or not, as inspiration) and I suppose that this surfaced somehow from that. Mythology fascinates me
