I went through some Griatch's images, got inspired and wanted to make a friend for his recurring character. This witch is clumsier and less competent, but makes up with sunny personality!

Pencil sketch, Karbon for "inking"/linework, Gimp 2.10 for color. Now I think I'm getting hang of this new Gimp version...

Haha, that's great! She looks sweet and that's a very creative outfit too. I like your clean lines and good anatomy here. Nice touch to have her hands pulled up in her sleeves like that (it conveys personality and is also a nice way to avoid having to drawing hands, but I'm sure the latter of course is purely coincidental ).

I have several recurring characters, but since you mention this one contrasts with a sunny personality, I suppose you mean the ever grim Unknown Girl from Where Red Apples Lie?

(Sorry, couldn't answer earlier, work is so hectic now)

I think I thought that bookshop wizard/witch character. Btw, I don't have any more "hand problems", sleeve thing was just trying to be cute...

Anyway. Thanks for comments!

I see. The bookshop wizard is not a recurring character (first time I painted her), which is what confused me. Yeah, yours would be a fun friend (messing up the book-buying by tipping things over, for sure).


Fair enough! And it worked too.

The Tree of Life contribution you made earlier was real nice..can I say this is better?
With your skills, I'd be doing fantasy comic strips all the day, love that simple outline work.
Looking forward for your next piece/hottie!
