Early Woman and the Serpent

A venomous green mamba might not be the kind of snake you want to accidentally provoke while you’re out foraging, and a rare two-headed one would give you double the trouble. But this early woman is not afraid to show the snake who truly is the deadlier species!

The inspiration for this artwork came from an illustration on the box for one of those old “Prehistoric Scenes” model kits that the model company Aurora put out. Both the original box art and the model inside depicted a “Cro-Magnon” woman recoiling in terror from a two-headed snake. I thought it unlikely that a prehistoric hunter-gatherer woman would react that way to a small animal as if she were a misogynistic caricature of a 1970’s housewife, so I decided to do my own take on the scene where the heroine is demonstrating more typically prehistoric valiance.

And yes, I was reminded of the whole “Eve and the serpent” motif when doing this artwork too.

Lloyd and Morro give Green and Black Mamba vibes.

For context, I saw this post on the Red-Headed Krait

And went, "oo, pretty snake" and looked them up, cuz the colors reminded me of Mr. E. So, obviously my brain went "I wonder what kind of snake Morro would be", because he permanently haunts my brain, so I looked up venomous green and black snakes.

I did not know the Green Mamba existed, so that drew me in, and as I read this article-thing I went "oh, this kinda reminds me of Lloyd and Morro!" because I have mental problems.

Anyways, I wanna see someone draw them as danger noodles.
