Sketches for the witch 'White Hare' form.
I want this appearance not unequivocally scary. In this shape she lurk the people deeper in the forest, and possess them with her hunger spirit form.

Just a little eerie feeling... when you feel the odd odour... then see her non-human legs... and hear the growing heavy breathing behind her strange mask...

A quick sketch about the illustration. First rough idea, but i really like the huge monster vs itsy-bitsy humans setup.

I'm struggling a little, because the witch form looks more interesting to me than the monster form. And this choice is affect the final illustration...

I think it turns out into an interesting mix!
Keep it up!

I think your last design, image on the right, is just awesome. It shows both hare and witch elements. Perhaps 'down the rabbit hole' is an idea for your illustration? I like the composition of your first illustration draft as well, but the giant witcht might not quite fit with the hare theme? Just a thought!

bohemiannihil 2018-02-11 11:33:50 UTC #12

Thank you @alecksandrs!

@evehartman
And omg, this rabbit hole idea is awesome! Already an image pop in my mind... Definitely will do a sketch about it. So thank you!

Can't stop experimenting with this witch topic. I think if i need to paint these things for a whole year, i would be happy even then.
But soon, need to finalise the design...

And recognised that i didn't write a proper first post about the character... so i'll update that soon.

evehartman 2018-02-11 16:02:57 UTC #14

So nice! I really think you will push this really far

Few doodle from my sketchbook

"The white hare's lair."
I can't wait to start to paint the final illustration. But i'm hesitating a little between the two view. The first one give more space to play with the tunnel, and negative space. But on the second one i can show more closeups about the lair.

May be the indoor space its not so important, its like the first one has a story behind the picture. Also you can try adding more elements to make your character scarier, like a kid going though the tunnel XD.
Keep the good work! Its going to look really cool!

kaira 2018-02-14 16:34:47 UTC #18

Wow! Lots of great designs You could design a few other characters off of them xD I'm liking the direction you've taken though For the final illustration I think the second works better. The goal is to show off the character and I think that one brings the focus to them more. You could even bring the illustration in closer potentially, or adjust the angle to make them more intimidating. Overall, it looks likes it's coming together well. The values you used really help draw you to the character.

bohemiannihil 2018-02-15 10:43:42 UTC #19

@noodles Thanks, this kid in the tunnel a great idea! : )

@kaira Thanks for the nice comment, i really appreciate it! : ) And this goal reminder is super useful!

Oh, the values... i need to recognise, painting only with values is my fav part. Sure i'll just add a few soft colours, and some bright red...and "dried" red

bohemiannihil 2018-02-21 20:22:09 UTC #20

Some noisy sketching and planning before the big painting part. Jeeej!

ESL 2018-02-22 06:26:25 UTC #21

Woah, A LOT of planning here, haha. Would make a great book cover or illustration overall!
Good luck and have fun painting this

snakebearer 2018-02-22 08:06:03 UTC #22

Wow, that detail with the line work is very nice.
Although, be careful, because right now the character herself is kinda close to being the weakest element of the illustration. Compared to how great everything else is with it I mean. XD

bohemiannihil 2018-02-24 17:05:46 UTC #23

@ESL Yeah, now i'm feeling the pressure... Almost deadline, and panic phase is coming...

@snakebearer Good point, thank you. I'll try to play with the lighting, and put the focus on the witch with it : )

bohemiannihil 2018-03-11 15:56:37 UTC #24

Near the deadline i had got a serious art block, because why not...
But now, without pressurei think i'll finish the illustration. Want to hang in my wall, jeeej.
But just after i finish the Gwent art contest. Really, i didn't want to participate any art contest in this year, just focusing on practice. Me and my plans...
