Baba Yaga in the forest

One more remaining from the summer long-term construction - Baba Yaga in the woods.

I have long been haunted by the theme of domovin: according to one version, the image of Baba Yaga is closely connected with Slavic funeral rites, in particular, with the houses of the dead, facing the forest. The witch, thus, acts as a conduit between the two worlds and the mistress of the forest, also associated with the world of the dead.

At the same time, I wanted to make Baba Yaga herself elegant and rather cute than frightening: after all, she can afford it, and her image in fairy tales is not always negative, after all, Yaga helps those who respect her orders.

Well, everything else continues to work on the colors and tone - I want to make them more calm. Like even is beginning to make.
