These were the initial sketches where I designed the story’s characters, additionally with the demon train conductor witch Carmin and the two that started it all, Maev and Nissa Wyrmwood. I was really happy with how these came out but I didn’t like how messy the presentation was, so I kept them to myself and tried drawing cleaner versions, the ones at the top of this post. But I wasn’t totally happy with those, they were too stiff, they didn’t feel like the characters, something was a little off in each one. So here’s a post showing both versions, you can imagine a cross between the two sets of illustrations.

I was unsure about posting these for the longest time, I wasn’t exactly happy with how they turned out but I love small aspects of these sketches. These are some witch characters I made and now I’m working on a story with them in it. I need to keep drawing them till I’m satisfied with an illustration and I want to finalize it, this was just experimenting with certain ideas I hadn’t been able to visualize properly before now.

#witch ocs #undine is a jellyfish mermaid who was cursed to be a human and turned to witchcraft to solve that lil problem #grace runs a foster home for dragons and makes pottery with dragon fire in her kiln #lacey has a crush on grace but grace doesn’t know it yet #lacey has a cottagecore lifestyle and does witchcraft out in nature #irma is cursed with vampirism and lives in a town where it’s perpetually dark (no sunrise ever)#irma runs an apothecary and rosemary is her apprentice who is super into magic #think luz from the owl house for how into magic rosemary is #but tragically rosemary is completely immune to magic (can’t learn it but also can’t be cursed)#Carmin cares for a train possessed by a demon #she makes sure the train doesn’t take passengers/victims randomly and keeps it fed ethically #the train is also one of the only safe places for witches to gather #Maev was cursed with antlers and met her familiar in her attempts to cure herself (which have not worked)#Nissa was cursed with an endlessly hungry mouth on the back of her neck
