Medusa Art

Urutu is still in my fiancee's ink box (she inks while I pencil and color, but things have been hectic), but I'm getting started on the BP Pied Piper piece I've had developing in my brain while I wait to color it along with a few other projects. But the seed of a Blood Python Medusa that Shelby planted is still growing too.

So I thought I'd pester some of you snake lovers for ideas. :D Especially people who know Blood Pythons better than I do. All my Medusa/Nagas lately have a theme that (hopefully) suits the species and I choose a classic leading lady or model to base the basic facials off of. I used Sophia Loren for Urutu and for the Pied Piper I'm using Clara Bow.

Any ideas for a nice voluptuous beauty for a Blood? Or a theme to go with? For Urutu "Feathered Serpent" was the theme. "Pied Piper" is kind of self explainatory. Maybe kinda goth, given the species name? Who would be a good model who actually has some meat on her? They're hard to find :P The piece won't look just like her, just give me a basic palette to work from. Marilyn Monroe is kinda done to death... Help me brainstorm? What do you guys think?

Do you know the Legacy of Kain PS2 etc games? Blood Omen has one that springs to my mind ... it's Umah who is Kain's vampiric love interest ... here's a link I found quickly on google http://legacyofkain.interfree.it/blood1.htm - it's the girl in the purple bikini-type outfit

Your work looks really good :D

All I have is a gameboy advance with like 5 games, 3 of which are Zelda. And an old PS1 with 2 games. It's quite sad. Cool pics though! And Oooh, vampiress theme is so obviously delightfully perfect! I'm a little amazed vampiress didn't come immediately to mind! This is why I ask, lol. I like that a lot... Hmm...

Actresses... hmmm...

And thank you :aww:

Don't ask me why, but when I thought of the blood python the actress Angelina Jolie popped in my head. *shrug* (I'm not too creative, but it seemed to fit)

That's OK :) I love all the LOK games - Soul Reaver 2 was my first ever game and got me onto the whole vampire game thingy. There's so many possible names just within that series alone that you could use for a flock ;) of snakes. Actually I call my parrot "The Winged Vampire" - given he likes to fly and attack and draw blood sometimes - he can be a real monster!!

Gah I LOVE those games. I started with Blood Omen 2 and loved it. I then went to Soul Reaver, to Soul Reaver 2, than to Defiance, and now I kind of reversed all the way back to Blood Omen.

As for the names yeah, I love the name Kain because of that game but I usually spell it differently. And Raziel is one of my favorite names. I love the depth of his character.

I agree, Angelina Jolie was the first one to pop into my head too, another vote for her!

Raz is my favorite too (hence the name ;) ) I liked BO2 as well (I know a lot of the die-hard fans didn't) - one of my fave characters in that game was Faustus - I found him really funny. I found BO1 so hard - I started off with SR2, then SR1, then original Blood Omen - and really missed having an analog stick. My other favorites are Onimusha series, DMC and Prince of Persia. Oh yep - and God of War - that is one awesome game.

I love your art! Too funny that you're going to be doing this. I've been planning to name my het pied male that I'll be getting this year - Piper! LOL

As far as blood pythons.. they are sometimes pissy little boogers. I have a couple pics of my two here for you, and I will try to take some new ones later today. Watch for a thread from me:
