Preview: The Strange Fate of Tiresias (Patreon)

This is a fun illustration I'm working on with a Greek mythological theme.  A man named Teresias witnesses two snakes copulating and, disgusted at what he sees, decides to slay them with a stick.  The goddess Hera is not pleased and, as a punishment, changes him into a woman.  Why Hera doesn't change Teresias into a snake or even a snake woman I'm not sure, as snakes nor sex are particularly associated only with women (in fact, snakes are rather phallic in appearance). Still, I think it's a fascinating story by Ovid and a good subject for an illustration.

If you don't mind, I'm going to go now and find two canoodling snakes to whack!  It'll save me a ton of money transitioning! Gimme that girl body NOW, Hera!

Special thanks to patron Madison Anderson for introducing me to the story!
