Medusa's Wrath

[slickgreekgeo]

As you can see, I applied tons of textures on the statue. I did this all in seperate layers, allowing me to further work on the statue w/o worrying about interfering with textures (wish I thought of that before). Same technique for Medusa. Spent some time defining the shadows/higlights of the snakes; Still needs work, but I have to get it right before I detail it.

I also experimented with the levels, that way everything is clearly defined in terms of perspective. I still need to work on that shirt, it looks pretty horrible. I keep on 'skimming' through clothing, definitely something I need more practice on.

Critiques encouraged as always.

looks really tight, d00d. i like it.. especially the texturing, nicely done... i'm just a little confused as to your lighting scheme... many many light sources?

I suggest that you pay careful attention to hard and soft edges throughout your painting. Some of the sharp edges away from the compositional center are really detracting from your image. Making them soft around the top of her left arm for example... But you're still working on this I guess -awesome textures and detailing in the faces
