Revealing Medusa by Steve Stanley

Revealing Medusa
...in the moments before her curse completes it's transformation, Medusa see's the true beauty she was given. It is unfortunate, her realization of the truth comes to her too late. Medium: done with tons of layers, soft and detail airbrushes, soft and some light opacity oil blenders. This piece took gobs of time. This labor of love has taken approx 4 months and has been featured in FXPOSE' on the IFX cd, issue 64. stock: Katanaz-Stock@deviantart.com
