Description Summer break n°11 (one more left )
pencil + CG

An old witch with a young child she took with her. Maybe he will become her apprentice ?

I was initially not a big fan of the traditional "old hag" witch design, but it came to interest me more and more in the end. I think that this figure shares the most ambiguity between the old barmy woman or a kind of hermit with great knowledge and power. However, she often look like a bad person but it's not always the case !

Great concept! Never judge a book by its cover.


Witch:I'm surprised you are not frightened by me.


Boy: You are actually the first person I met who doesn't frighten me.


Witch: Curious...

It's all what I can wish in a drawing of traditional witches. I'd like to colour it, if you don't mind... With your permission, of course.

Tanks ^^

Well, do as you want (well, credits, link, etc...), but I would not recommend that, I don't think this is the kind of drawing who could work well with colors. I didn't draw it with the intent of give it colors.

Kradath In reply to Maxa-art [2011-11-20 21:57:28 +0000 UTC]

Don't worry, it's just I like to do it and I'm VERY bored. Your drawing is so good that I can't help it. Of course, I'll put the link and the credit.

Merci beaucoup!

Love it... She seems very druid like, like a realistic version of a witch from the tales.

And are those Thor Hammer's (mjollnir... I don't remember how to write it) hanging on her chest?

Pi j'aime bien aussi la bouille du gamin qui la suit en ce demandant ce qui va bien pouvoir lui arriver. J'crois que c'est mon préféré de ta série bretonne (et pourtant, cette série compte de belle perles )
