Halloween: Medusa Archer Aello

[Khali]

You can thank a certain other artist fave of mine for inspiring this holiday pic. 😉

Still on a bit of an Aello kick, I thought up a fitting Halloween costume for my leggy Amazon original character: a mythological Medusa 'outfit' (although a humanoid Medusa).

I figured that Aello's somewhat spiky hair translated well into a bunch of hair-snakes. ^^

As for the 'costume' itself, well, other than a few serpent-themed circlets, armlet and top-of-foot accessories...all Aello is 'wearing' are a pair of large snakes wrapped around her otherwise exposed body. Draped just right to cover up what they should, but otherwise...well...it fits Aello's sometimes wild theme with a risque twist. 😉

Are the two snakes 'real'? She's not answering, just giving you a vile grin as she wears scales and tongues (but otherwise just shows a lot of skin) and brandishes a serpent-themed bow.

As an aside, her 'quiver' originally WAS the large snake head draped on her right shoulder (its mouth was open with the arrow plumes visible within) but it just kept coming out wrong, hence the quiver's now behind it.

Anyhow, think Aello picked out a creative (and hot) costume idea this year? She's probably waiting for a response of some sort.

Wonderful drawing, Khali, great work.

My response to Aello is this: You are wearing a very creative and very hot costume this year. I would beg to serve as your footstool.

I like the way you drew the scale armor on her, Khali. Yet, this brings me to a dilemma: She's so damn attractive and I'd do anything for her, even worship her feet, and yet I'm afraid of snakes. And no, she wouldn't turn me to stone, she's too damn cute! 😉

Milagros:
She'd probably accept. ^^

Larcen:
Yeah, she wouldn't turn you to stone, but she might 'stun' you otherwise. ^^

Oh, that would be wonderful. 😀 😀

You've got that right. 😉

I really like the serpent theme. I've drawn pictures with that theme and it really adds to the character of it. Serpents lend their menace to the drawing and it seems to add a depth to it, too.

Anyway, great picture, hope to see more!

SZ:
Thanks much, perhaps there'll be more of this 'outfit' in future pics. ^^
