Artist's Comments

Baba Yaga
Brush, Ink

B/W art for Jisuk's :iconjisuk: Fairy Tale card deck, to go on sale in late August. Color work to follow in the following weeks.

Baba Yaga rules, she's so fucking scary. I know she was back in the latest Hellboy comics so I tried to push the image Mignola had created out of my mind as I drew this. I gave the piece an Art Nouveau-inspired look even though an ugly old hag is the last suspected subject of an Art Nouveau artist. I thought it made for nice contrast.

Oh yeah there's some details that won't go in until coloring, like the sky and moon.. it all got a little too much I figured I'd leave it until photoshop XD you'll see.


Read more about it in Jisuk's journal! [link]

yeah i love those old tales !
:iconnarutowannabe:
i see what you mean by pushing the mignola influences out, you did a good job in capturing something else entirely which i'd have to say is difficult considering all of the above shenanigans.

i like it!

When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one
individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command. Very often, that individual is an idiot.
:iconmrsorrentino:
