alpha: Medusa (queen of the monsters)

MEDUSA: She was the beautiful daughter of the sea titans Porcys and Ceto. Medusa was the youngest of three sisters Stheno and Euryale; they were priestesses in the temple of Athena. In a blasphemous act the sea god Poseidon smitten by Medusa, raped the priestess in the very temple of Athena. This action so enraged the goddess Athena that she blamed the victim, turning Medusa and her two sisters into hideous creatures with snakes for hair and a gaze that turns mortals to stone. These beasts were known as the Gorgons. When Perseus beheaded Medusa, out of her blood sprang the winged stallion Pegasus and the giant horse being Chrysaor (wearing full body armor) fathered by Poseidon... The more intriguing the subject, the more I enjoy drawing it...
