I recently read The Wood Wife by Terri Windling. I had such strong visuals of the creatures in her tale that I decided to do some drawings…
Here’s a sketch of the Spine Witch as I envisioned her
and here’s a digital painting of the sketch using Corel Painter X and Photoshop
To see large versions, just click on the picture to go to my Flickr page.

yeah…i really got swept away by that book. those creatures are just swimming in my head. i have other sketches, but the spine witch is the one i’m playing with right now. i’m hoping to do a little clay sculpture of her as well.
i put a lot of detail in the “painting” but you have to look at the largest, “original” on flickr to actually see anything.
