A snapshot of a work in progress. Potential poster art? What do you think? Coffee wash background, spitshaded black and grey... Still more work to be done! Thanks for looking. :)
Just randomly did this tbh. I was inspired by the song 'The hanging Tree' and a couple of images i seen on pinterest. Hope you like! Speedpaint- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38W_mVKQ2WI&t=5s
I was doing a pencil drawing and got stuck so I decided to do a digital drawing and I came across ClumsyCaity's ig page and found a DTIYS that looked like it'd be interesting to draw (https://www.instagram.com/p/CN6owa2B5Fz/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link)
(2B Pencil on 170mm x 110mm paper) Nudes are common in art, but I've developed a background with these Spelldancers:
They're witches of The Crimson Moon Coven and exist on an alternate Earth where an "Apocalypse Of Man" took place. A terrible war which nearly wiped-out all life on the planet. From the ashes rose the Crimson Moon Coven who directed a miraculous revival of humanity under a benign matriarchal system. In the space of a single generation, they'd pretty much fixed most things and, in the centuries which followed, their Earth became more peaceful and prosperous than it's ever been, with the men resigned to the fact that their thousands of years of tenure hadn't really worked-out and that the women were actually doing a much better job, if they were being honest. They didn't even mind that, over the space of time, their numbers were reduced to 35% of the population. A much more manageable level, with anything above that seen as dangerous.
Men may protest, at first, but after a while they do get used to sitting on comfy cushions!
The Crimson Moon Coven, with their unique abilities to harness the forces of the universe, then looked into our own reality, didn't like what they saw, and decided to do something about it. With the spell-dance (and my help) they're finding a way through to gain influence in our world to sort things out.
At least, that's what they've told me....
The original sketch came from the prompt ‘organized’ which immediately made me think of my label maker. It grew from there and I first posted it on what happened to be the 25th anniversary of the film Practical Magic! Let me know if you spot the homages…
Lurking under the sea, she waits... Made using ink and coffee on hand-cut watercolor paper measuring 5x7 inches (C)2018. (In the collection of Candice C.)
An original character of mine. November 2018. Her name is Jinx Muun. A modern day witch, born on the 1st full Moon, on Friday the 13th. She is a feisty, independent and strong young woman. Her powers come out most during a full moon, where her skin takes on a lilac color and her eyes shift colors as well.
After drawing a poison bottle I wanted to create an unconventional witch: young instead of old, red instead of violet, pharmacist instead of... well... By the way, I believe that most witches were pharmacists of their time.
"You flee my dream come the morning
Your scent - berries tart, lilac sweet
To dream of raven locks entwisted, stormy
Of violet eyes, glistening as you weep"
