Prelim / Large version of Iolante

Been a while since I derped around in this genre/fandom.  It was fun to be able to design up a fast monster for giggles again.
Picked a Gorgon because love the idea of snake hair.  In future (in my style) images of her, hope to showcase off the gold feather/wing stencil tattoos on the back.
There is a ton of varying legend with Gorgons -- including being able to change appearance to look human, having gold wings (hence tattoos), boars tusks, etc. 
Favorite thing, and may play on this, is a note from one mythology site where the blood (depending what side of the body it comes from) either heals or kills instantly the person who touches/ingests it.

Illustrated most of this, but did use a blending of two bases for initial skeleton work to nail down anatomy (and kept the hands/arms because I liked the pose blending).  
*see references below.

Nanas, mentioned in the bio, per what little I could actually find out from various sites, was the only male gorgon -- Zeus's bodyguard.    From what I understand, not related to the Medusa sisters.

Thank you SelenaEde
Used their bases to be my skeleton base for my girl:
