Most people know Medusa but not her story (or the version told by Ovid anyway). TW. She was originally a beautiful woman, but when she was raped by Poseidon in Athena's Temple, Athena punished her instead of him by transforming her into a gorgon. Here's Medusa loving herself and giving absolutely zero fucks about what anyone thinks of her.

Learning. learning. learning. Making a lot of n0ob mistakes as I go, but still learning. 🎨 #digitalart #illustration #artistsoninstagram https://ift.tt/2Hw7rNN

Adventures in digital! I did a line drawing, then grayscale shading on a separate sheet, then scanned and layered them in Photoshop and coloured over it digitally. I have a SO much to learn (like where TF are her eyelashes?!) but I feel happy with where I am so far. I don't know where I'd be without other artists sharing their practices and knowledge online. 💖 . . . #wraith #apexlegends #fanart #popart #popculture #irishartist #femaleartist #heatherthompson #blue #assassin https://ift.tt/2IWW4Qa

New work for 2019. I really enjoyed doing the hands.

Finally getting to try the new gold paints. Quick 15 minute scribble. Fairly thin on its own but becomes nice and solid over a colour base. #coliro #finetec #finetecgold #micron #scribbles #sketchbook http://bit.ly/2MfTbs2

An old piece from a couple of years ago. "The Sin Eater". Have never scanned it due to it's size. Cat for scale... #artistsoninstagram #femaleartist #acrylic #goldgilt #micron #irishartist #heatherthompson #possessed #turban #pinstripe #strangeandunusual http://bit.ly/2CoKyqk

I got the most incredible set of Russian fairy tale art postcards for my birthday. 😍 Don't know what most of these are from, I assume that's Koschei the Deathless robbing a girl in the middle one? Anyone know the artists or original stories? #russianfolkart #russianfairytales #koschei #maryamorevna #firebird #fairytales https://ift.tt/2Qr9p64

Learning how to blend colours in PS with my new graphics tablet. It's like learning to draw again, kind of. Or like learning to paint, but less messy. Still a bit blotchy but not bad for My First Colouring-In. Still using the default brushes! This is based on a Paul Shiakallis photo of one of Botswana's legendary metalheads. 🖤 #photoshop #storm #ororomunroe #xmen #botswana #blendingtools #wacom #bamboo #sketchbook #wip #artistsoninstagram #heatherthompson https://ift.tt/2qYKfNS
