I normally don't do scary pictures which is why I wanted to give this a try. I did the lineart at work and very quickly colored it.

I chose medusa based on a pumpkin carving show of all things. Due to the mythos of her being scary as heck I decided she would be a good choice.

Oddly enough... I'm starting to notice that most of my macabre work seems to included a decapitated head somewhere O.o

I wanted to see what you guys thought of it.

I really like it, it's very nicely done in my opinion. That said, I don't find it very scary. It's dark, and looks a little evil, but, it's not scary so much to me.

But, I can see how it could be for someone else. xD

X3 I actually find it kind of pleasant. That smile looks like she's having fun... even if it is while doing something diabolical.
Anyway, the picture is absolutely gorgeous.

Amazing picture, though not so much "scary" as it is dark. Basically what monstahh said. Maybe close her mouth a little more as well as her eyes? It looks like she's posing for us. XD

Also, Channah is an NPC on here. x3

i think its pretty awesome personally! then again i think your art is always amazing :P
It's definitely dark, and creepy, i don't know about scary though, then again my idea of scary might not be what everyone else considers scary

It's more morbid than downright scary. But you're on the right track, so keep practicing. "Scary" revolves heavily around atmosphere, so try using a background and put less emphasis on the monster itself. Make her seem part of the surroundings, and even more so, like if it wants to just...reach out and grab you.

I like it. There is a genuine creepiness factor in my opinion. It's really well done.

Thanks for the compliments everyone.

@ jesmond

Aaah. so thats who she is. XD Poor her.

And thanks for the suggestions.

@ PrincessBane

Hmm.. not a bad idea. I guess with the lack of background might be causing a few problems.
