I always like the mythological crature....Medusa being one of them.
I came across a black and white sketch done by BORIS VALLEJO and I thought it would be great painted so this is my version.....now censored
Acrylic on wood
Marvelous Medusa Renata,love this painting, lovely pretty woman satanic,but very handsome... belle composition and powerful color tones, drawing wonderful.. hugs , José
renate...aalways enjoy your work....lovely work...

Your work is lovely but I am appalled at the censorship. The beauty of the human body has been celebrated in art for centuries - it is preposterous that a site claiming to be dedicated to art should deem "sanitation" necessary.
Ola Renata eu sou novo no mundo do desenho mais já de cara gostei muito do seu trabalho, menina vc. desenho muito e bem. Mais uma coisa que eu gostei foi essa sua medusa eu desenhei ela como o meu 3º trabalho,pena que ainda não escanei mais logo,logo vc. verá como ficou o meu trabalho.
parabéns pelo talento fantastico.

Wow, Renata! I just came across this one and I luv it! Medusa has always been one of my favorites too! Now I'll have to post mine of course! Great image, great pose! Take care! ^_^
bummer about the blue squares... love the concept of Medussa... you are doing good work Renata... I am proud of your new publishing conquest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1BRAVO.
wow. this is great! especailly since it was someone else's sketch. it's hard enough coloring other prople's line art... I can't immagine painting someone's sketch. 0.o
are they postage stamps i see and are they lickable and that horny devil in the background not fair he has all the luck great work Renata will have to keep an eye on you and may be a tounge for the stamps
thankyou renata and jassy for the nice wishes, that was so sweet..and indeed i have been making life miserable on a few.. RENATA! i didnt see this one! wow.. her face is so beautiful...wonderful magic, and her body is rendered perfectly : )
You painted a really nice figure, i love the colours of the sky too, i see you got away with this picture too, apart from having to block the nipples out, my pictures get deleted all the time even when they have covered their bits up, which sucks
