African witch doctory woman
So I did a course in japanese woodblock printmaking last weekend and I decided to kill two birds with one stone. Had to keep it simple as the piece of wood was quite small but think it turned out ok. Added a colour grad in photoplop to give it a bit of a kick. Will stick the original on my own blog if anybody wants to see.

Margaret & Mary
The Weird Sisters
These be the three witches from Macbeth, known as The Weird Sisters. Individually, they are Darkness, Conflict and Chaos.
Fair is foul and foul is fair. Hover through the fog and filthy air...

Ordinary Magician
I decided to draw my current favourite witch-lady, Marisa! She is one of the main characters from a series of Japanese shooter games that I like called Touhou Project. She can shoot lazers and stars at you, which I think is pretty cool....

"I've broken yooou..."
The last scene of "Torch Song": Joan Crawford's character glides in like a Dalek and exterminates everyone. Genuinely terrifying.
A Furry Tale
Once upon a time in a small village at the edge of a great forest lived a naughty little girl called Arlene who loved to play tricks on people. One day, however, she went too far and played a trick on the local witch who, in a fit of rage, cast a spell on the girl which turned her skin green and covered her body in thick purple fur. The villages thought she was a monster and drove her out of the village. She wandered alone in the forest until the same witch, regretting her loss of temper but unable to reverse the spell, took her in as an apprentice. Arlene learned some magic, but mostly herbal lore and medical practices and, when she was older, became famous far and wide for her miraculous cures, taking over after the witch died and far surpassing the old woman’s skill. One day she saved the life of a young medical student, who had been bitten by a snake while researching medicinal plants in the forest. They fell in love, got married and set up in practice together, concocting potent cures which they sold far and wide and, apart from the occasional lecture tour, remained in the forest quite happily for the rest of their lives. The end.

Burn the witch!
This is my submission for "Witchy Women". My idea is one girl's accused of witchcraft and the other is the accuser. I guess you can make up your own mind and decide who's the witch.
