Greenwell's Medusa Finale

 Having another look at the tentacles, I wasn't really happy with that purple, so it was changed. I also added some gold in to the covering she's wearing, and then finally I added the eyes. Once again, I goofed the right one and had to start over. That's another reason why I like starting with black... ;) 

Thanks for looking. 

 

Greenwell's Medusa

 Adding to my growing collection of Medusas is this nice little bust from Greenwell Studios. His websites seems to be gone and the only presence I could find is an "Art of" page on Facebook. 

This Medusa is a bit different from others in the this one sort of has Octopus tentacles instead of snakes. Anyway here's the bust as received all those years ago - 

 Primed and the base coat started -

Started on the tentacles -

A Gorgon Sister - The Scorpion

This time around I took Greenwell Studios Gorgon Sister out of the stash to work on. I tried looking for info about Greenwell, but apparently they have disappeared. Too bad, they had good kits.  If I remember correctly, there was 3 or 4 different Gorgon busts.
Anyway, after it's cleaning, I primed it in the usual way - 

At this point I actually left it for a few weeks. I kind of liked that way it looked in the black and white. But then I decided put put paint on it. Here it is base coated - 

As with a lot of my base coats, the colors never last. I always end up changing my mind. At first I started with a darker skin thinking Mediterranean, but then I always make busts paler. Here she is with the finished colors - 

My original idea for a dark Scorpion headress changed as too much detail would be lost. Then I've been seeing mini painters do a terrific job at painting lenses/gems etc... so I decided to make the large circle on the front a gem. I need work on doing them. ;)  It was also my first time at trying a marble pattern. Turned out ok...
Here she is from other angles. Thanks for looking -
