Harpy

Description

my failed attempt for the 30 Day Monster Girl Challenge. Started out well but i had to give up for a contest.

In Greek mythology, a harpy was one of the winged spirits best known for constantly stealing all food from Phineus. The literal meaning of the word seems to be "that which snatches" as it comes from the ancient Greek word harpazein, which means "to snatch".
Hesiod calls them two "lovely-haired" creatures, and pottery art depicting the harpies featured beautiful women with wings. Harpies as ugly winged bird-women, are a late development, due to a confusion with the Sirens. Roman and Byzantine writers detailed their ugliness.

10 for the wings, feathers and gloves... 7 for the really strange hair that doesn't have enough volume in the back to cover the skull (that's how i see it, at least. but considering my shitty anatomy knowledge, i might as well be wrong. :ashamed:)
overall, i really love it :love:
THOSE WINGS!:drool:
