This is interesting besides the fact that the Medusa mythology was a beautiful lady so beautiful that Aphrodite, the god of love, sex and peace and understanding and crap suddenly turn 180 and curse Medusa, because why not?

Which causes Medusa's silky long hair to turn into snakes. However, the rest of the woman was untouched. She's still supposed to be ya know; Beautiful; Causing men look at her because she is hot and get stiff in more places than one. So yeah, she does not want to make people into stone because she wants to, everything she looks at turns to stone, meaning that the more beautiful than a god person will be left alone. Eventually killing herself or having some "heroic" person kill her.

Also, I'm having difficulties to see the difference between this and the ingame naga. ;O

I have to agree with MiniMage since I've always thought that the best visual creation of Medusa was in Wrath of the Titans.

I would like to see more changes to her since right now she just looks like Lady Vashj with a few changes. In my opinion a bit lazy recreation of Medusa, but it's still pretty useful I guess. 2/5

Alright maybe I was a bit harsh when I said very lazy (I'm sorry) but it still seems a bit lazy since you haven't really tried to change a lot with the Vashj model. It's still a long way from looking as the screenshot you just uploaded.

Also where is that model from?

You know, you can indicate (when you upload a model) that someone co-authored a model, so it'll appear at the top alongside yours. : )

At first I was like "what's different?". Most of all I would suggest making some more modifications to either texture or mesh; yes the bow is gone, and the shoulderpads/crown is neat, and the orb... But it's definitely hard to tell, and this restricts it's usage from those who would use it alongside the Naga Sea Witch.

That being said, I really like someone making a more "useful" Naga Sea Witch model; that giant bow really shut out any other usability for her, whereas here she's more of a generic Mage. Nice.

Finally, I love that floating Orb; so few models have "separate parts" like that, and it's super-cool.

Few more changes, mayhaps?
