Description This is super old. SUPER. Old.

And yet it manages to still be one of my better digital pieces despite being over a year old and unfinished. I may try to finish it, with a simple background or something. I'm getting Photoshop CS6 on Wednesday (or when ever Adobe finally decides to send me the god damn code), so then would be a good time.

I am hoarding expensive things in preparation for art student poverty.

In case you don't know, this is based on an Eastern European folktale. Basically there is a witch named Baba Yaga who lives in a cottage that walks around on giant chicken legs. I just steampunked it. She also flies around in a cast iron cauldron. I loe folktales.

The two of you who actually went to my short-lived artblog will have seen the sketch for this.

I think it's probably based on this folktale XD

Please don't overwork the background on this! What's so special about it for me is the polish of the house itself, and how it slowly fades to sketchy-ness. Beautimous.

I actually had done a background for this, but I decided I hated it and just deleted the layer. And voilรก!

Yay~!
Now Baba Jaga* in whole new version!
... Looks kinda like Howl's Castle's kid

*it's how we spell it in Poland

Pythosart In reply to grzanka [2012-05-13 18:43:58 +0000 UTC]

It's definitely influenced by Howl's Moving Castle. That may have been what inspired me to draw this in the first place.

I'm sure the Polish spelling is correct, but I'm 'Merican and I spell foreign words wrong because 'MERICA. I'm going to change it anyway, because I like your spelling better.

grzanka In reply to Pythosart [2012-05-13 20:06:56 +0000 UTC]

oh, you didn't have to change the title - I wrote it just as a curiosity

anyway, great concept & design!

omygushness, I remember reading that story when I was so little... I got it at a library book sale and it came with a tape and I loved it so much I ended up losing it.
I can't remember what the book was called.
