Both dadragoness and mellawyrden having pointed me to this page on the snakes of Crete , I chose the cat snake for my half-gorgon (though I changed the colour). Unfortunately, I had to lose the lovely scale pattern because of the time constraints of the comic. But I like the shape of the cat snake's head and the big eyes. Plus, as dadragoness correctly guessed, my half-gorgon is modelled after Simone Simon of Cat People ; I know it's not a perfect likeness, but that's pretty much how I wanted it. I'm running a little late because of class and some errands I had to run. But to-night I'm working on the web site design and to-morrow I write the first comic script.
