It's a nightmare when you have to drink beer ain't it user added image

The fact that the head has quite a lot of snakes and is therefore reasonably wide you might want to widen the body as well - guess you will know when you put the head and body together

lookin good tho - keep it goin!!

Well, Da Vinci made her a beautiful woman with snake hair, but before his paintings she was, according to the myth, really ugly and nasty, with fangs and stuff.
I prefer her beautiful with petrifying snake hair. The freedom you have as an artist user added image

Yes I like it. Maybe download Mike's tutorial on how to make wrinkles in the cloth.

Keep at it mate.

cloth? She's naked! user added image

I'm still thinking about clothing etc. Any suggestions welcome. (a cloth/dress like Mike had on his Medusa is tempting, but I don't want to rip his stuff.. user added image
