Disney Style Chimera

In Greek Mythology the Chimera is a fire breathing creature with the body of a lioness, a tail that ends with a snakes head and a goat's head coming out of it's back.  It's siblings are Cerberus and the Hydra.   The term Chimera has developed a more general meaning of "impossible" or "foolish" fantasy.  There is also something known as a genetic Chimera where one organism can have multiple sets of genes, which is utterly fascinating to me, a person who is a Chimera is technically more than one person, there is much more to it and if you want to learn about chimerism go here.  I started drawing this Chimera in the style I used for my alphabet, but then I had a lightbulb go off...a lion, a goat, a snake....those were all in Disney movies right?  And so I made a Disney-fied Chimera, because that's the kind of thing crazy people who draw do, lol.

Everyone's favorite Gorgon...

...that is if you  like being turned to stone.  In all seriousness the image of Medusa's head  was used in antiquity as a symbol of protection, this stems from a legend involving Perseus, who cut off Medusa's head and used it as a weapon against the Hydra (who I drew awhile ago).  When he was done with the head he gave it to Athena (I'm assuming he did this because it didn't match his drapes) and she put it on her shield as protection.
