Medusa

Medusa on the outer arm: a portrait first, with the snakes as hair, drawn so the face carries the piece.

The design keeps the snakes secondary. They frame the face and give the outline its energy, but the shading budget goes to the eyes, the lips and the turn of the head, which is why the piece reads as a portrait rather than a tangle of serpents.

Black and grey with a slightly illustrative edge, a style the studio uses often for mythological and character subjects where a little stylisation suits the story.
