Witch Fashion, not just for the young.

Someone's got to stop the young witches blowing stuff up... or join in... not picky.

Merry Critmas from the Samurai Snowmen!

Taking the concept “witch” (an old woman with magical powers) to its logical extent, you have given her blue hair – it feels both magical and realistic and I would not have thought those two feels could be combined so well. Her stare is great, sort of far-seeing and pointed by the eyebrows and crow's feet lines. I like those goofy giant glasses and earrings, though the latter look a little simple without lines. Nice choice with the beads and gown, she reminds me of a Jedi who wanted to dress up a little.

Weird question but is that a raven or a crow? Wikipedia tells me crows are considered carriers of information and tricksters, which feels like a witch thing. Ravens on the other hand are associated with ill omen and death; the first is fitting but she looks like such a sweet granny. Maybe she's got those feathers in her hair to ward off death? I do like how its feathers are drifting off behind her. Actually my biggest issue with this image is the color of her face compared to her neck. I can see how you were going for a light and shadow idea, but the skin is shiny like she's got plastic wrap over her face, and the orange dividing line looks like the edge of a mask.

Vision: A witch who knows fashion.

Originality: There are too many pretty young witches and ugly old witches out there.

Technique: I love that hair – but the face is too shiny.

Impact: The face in profile and flying bird evoke a stern, wise feeling.
