Gorgon - Tumblr Posts
here’s the finished piece ^^
decided on a Medusa/gorgon vibe with her, and I really like it :D
HERACLES FUCKED A WHAT
CKY... a band that from what I can tell has had plenty of ups and downs. I like this band, my favorite song of theirs being 96 Quite Bitter Beings. It just rocks. Anyways, wanted to talk about an idea I had concerning this song.
An adaptation of Marvel's Inhumans, with the opening credits set to this song.
Considering the Kree experimented on early humans to create the Inhumans, some of the experiments were probably unsuccessful and some not so humane. Imagine a montage in the opening credits to a new adaptation of the Inhumans, where Kree scientists are experimenting on early humans in a bid for super-soldiers in the Kree-Skrull War. Some humans survive, others don't. In the end the project would be shut down and maybe seen as a failure, leaving what surviving Inhumans behind on the Blue Side of the Moon.
What do you guys think? You agree l, disagree, got any ideas? Would love to hear some if any are willing to share.
I thought of something cool..
What if RWBY had characters based off of monsters (horror, fantasy, sci-fi, folklore, mythology, or religion)?
Hear me out…
Vampire/Dracula: Bat Faunus with … Semblance
Werewolf/Wolf Man: Wolf Faunus with wind Semblance (y’know, like the Big Bad Wolf)
Frankenstein’s Monster: Human-Grimm or human-robot hybrid with electricity Semblance
Mad Scientist: Human with electricity Semblance
Mummy: Human-Grimm hybrid with wrapping Semblance
Creature of Black Lagoon: Fish Faunus with water Semblance
Invisible Man: Human with invisibility Semblance
Phantom of the Opera: Human with song Semblance
Igor: … with … Semblance
Jekyll and Hyde: Human with … Semblance
Witch: (idk since Glynda exists) Human with … Semblance
Ghost: … with intangibility Semblance (think Mirio from BNHA/MHA)
Skeleton: … with bone Semblance
Zombie: Human-Grimm hybrid with … Semblance
Plant Monster: Human with plant Semblance
Gorgon/Medusa: Snake Faunus with petrification Semblance
Pumpkin Monster: Human with plant(?) Semblance (a little redundant)
Demon: Bat Faunus with fire Semblance
Angel: Dove Faunus with … Semblance
Gargoyle: Chimera(?) Faunus with stone Semblance (another redundant Semblance)
Goblin: … with … Semblance
I couldn’t think of anything species and/or Semblances for some of the monsters, but it would be cool if someone created an OC/team based on them.

Reminds me of a conversation I had a long time ago with someone on this topic. For more context, I said that I do not personally consider Medusa a victim and showed to him a list with all the characters who were raped in Greek Mythology (some of them going through worse than her) who deserve to be made symbols of SA/Rape Survivors as well.
I’m kinda tired of Medusa fans defending how Ovid depicts her and saying it’s just as valid as Ancient Greek sources that say she was born a monster, it’s one thing to say that you like an idea or story beat from a Roman or even medieval source and even use it in your interpretation (I do that with Kronos and Hera), it’s another thing entirely to say it’s equally valid as Ancient Greek sources, when all these stories come from different cultures and time periods. I’d probably be more forgiving of this kind of thing if “Medusa was pretty then turned into a monster” was at least implied in ancient sources but it’s not.

Day 23: MYTH
Medusa of Lesbos
The prompt “mythology” definitely gave me so many options I didn’t know where to start; so I used a list and a number generator, and we settled on making a clown gorgon! Introducing Clowndusa! Yes, she’s basically a giant peanut brittle snake in a can prank XD
A friend suggested her tail reference a clown morph ball python cuz...you know
And then I gave her some worms on a string for her snake hair cuz I found another clown Medusa that used that idea and I absolutely wanted to try it with my own take XD
Hope you all love her!
@clownartmonth
Carline a new OC I made.
I just thought it would be funny when I thought of a Gorgon's version of bed head. (*´ω｀*)
A new drawing of Carline
Sooooo the weeping angels are just reverse gorgons right?
If you look at them THEY turn to stone rather than YOU turning to stone.
Male Gorgon
I’ve tried multiple times to draw a male Gorgon, but I always add too many snakes, haha. Oh well, here’s the Gorgon anyways. His eyes are kinda creepy open, then again - you shouldn’t be looking a Gorgon in the eyes anyway 😅🐍
👁️👁️
Omg, I wish my art was this good! I love this Gorgon design 💕💕🐍
Here is Caliadne, my medusa cleric!! Just finished her up and hopefully will start playing her this weekend. She’s petty and mean but she’ll heal when necessary. Maybe…
Snake Girl Sketch - Based on Minoan Snake Priestess.
This one took me two hours to draw, but she really came out beautifully.
