Irish Witches
A bit more of the recent pencil work for the story I'll be starting shortly rooted in but not specific to Irish Folklore - a few more witch ideas - just because :)
Really nice! I know you've got a thing for dreadlocks, but I thnk they would really suit witches. The witches project may not be specific to irish folklore, though linked to it in some way, and I was wondering if you intended to somehow hint at their irish origin? Not like a big shamrock stuck behind an ear or anything so blatant, of course.
Jay - These sketches were done before I knew where exactly we were going with the story. Two of the legends we are working with at the moment are the Banshee and the Baohbhan Sith. Neither of these two characters are actually witches in the traditional sense. The story is still being worked, even as we speak. But I just can't help drawing witches and yes, I agree, some dreadlocks may be required.
The Banshee is flat-out spooky. My mother-in-law swears she heard it the night after somebody very close to her passed away suddenly. Gives me chills just thinking about it. The Baohbhan Sith has an interesting name, I think. When pronounced correctly, it sounds almost identical to the word 'Banshee.' And the word 'sidhe' (irish faerie) is also pronounced like 'shee.' I can't wait to see your renditions of these rather scary beings!
Jay - I recently watched a short little documentary on YouTube about the Irish Banshee - first hand accounts from local villagers - pretty creepy and very inspiring.
He treated me with so much love and care, but all of a sudden, he began to change. Little by little, he started talking about divorce. I knew something was wrong, so I searched for a solution and found Dr. Dawn.
He reviewed my situation and told me that my fiancé was under a spell from a woman who worked in the same office as him. When I checked his phone, I found different chats between them discussing how they would get married and be together.
I followed the instructions given to me by Dr. Dawn, and within 48 hours, he came back, apologized, and asked for forgiveness. The woman was eventually dismissed from the office, and she also came to apologize after I asked Dr. Dawn to help me seek revenge. She later moved out of the city when things became difficult for her.
Today, we are happily married with two beautiful children. I’m here to sincerely appreciate Dr. Dawn for her help, and I highly recommend her to anyone going through relationship or marriage challenges. If you are facing a difficult situation in your relationship or marriage, you can reach out to Dr. Dawn on WhatsApp: [WhatsApp number] +2349046229159 dawnacuna314@gmail.com

Thanks Kim - I'm a little clairvoyant, you'll have to forgive me :)

Oh, the one in the middle bottom with the wickedly gleeful eyes -great. That's a hard expression to draw.
Thanks Ben. That's one of my favourites too. Hopefully I can find a way to work that one, or something like it, into an illustration.
Although I did not come for some time, but your work is so perfect! :)
Su - It's nice to have you back. Thanks :)
Thanks Craig - and likewise, I'll be looking forward to seeing your solo work also :)
My fiancé used to be the nicest man on earth.
He treated me with so much love and care, but all of a sudden, he began to change. Little by little, he started talking about divorce.
I knew something was wrong, so I searched for a solution and found Dr. Dawn.
He reviewed my situation and told me that my fiancé was under a spell from a woman who worked in the same office as him.
