SPIDERZERO MEDUSA!!

Here's my Medusa kit painted by the uber talented Joe Dunaway! My design for Medusa is undoubtedly a drastic departure from the traditional portrayal of Medusa. What I'm doing here is more abstract than a literal interpretation. The eyes are hidden, and they will emerge before the moments of an attack. There's no explicit expression of a gender, but the hint of femininity in the posture (or ambiguity rather), was intended to add a deeper layer of mystery to this creature/character. This creature is a shape-shifter, it can choose to become more human, more reptilian. The base of the resin kit was intended to make the character look almost like a stone statue, but the organic quality on the back of the base was to imply that a transformation has begun, and this creature, with its arms extending, in an almost yawning kind of posture, has started to emerge to life.
