Description

You foolish child, the lazy one.
You are making a great mistake out of your youth.
Magic is not about efficiency.
Magic is art.
The form you have achieved itself is a new path,
but there's no philosophy nor introspection in it, only expediency.
If you merely rely on that, the magic will punish you someday.

Description

Project Mese is my ongoing personal project themed around Hungarian mythology, fairy tales and superstitions.
As I'm developing the story of Mese I'm shaping its inhabitants, and now I feel comfortable to show some of the character designs with you.
The Wiatch
2.0 version of this design:
ArtStation - The Wiatch

She's like a witch, a specialist of the dark arts, just with more seductive powers. She provides special abilities, dark gifts for those who seek it in exchange for their life-force, shortening their lives and give unnaturally long life for the Wiatch. The life-force keeps her young and sexy, but if she is not satisfied she'll slowly turn into an old, unfriendly hag called Banya.

I was pushing on the Baba Yaga concept based on illustration of Petar Meseldzija

Original drawing

I could not find the drawing online. According to the description in a different post, it seems to be from Petar Meseldžija's sketchbook.

I dunno what it is about drawing borderline-creepy cute things! I just really like spooky ghosts and also cats!

New personal artwork.

Been working on this for a while now, and I felt it was time to let it go now. Pretty different from my other artworks, but I had a lot of fun doing this and I think I learned a lot

Painted in Photoshop on a Wacom Cintiq. About 20 hours maybe.

Edit: Follow up artwork here: https://www.deviantart.com/yngvemartinussen/art/The-Mouser-544752058
