Story about Baba Yaga says, that She was a witch, livng in "The Hut on chicken foot". It says she has been kidnapping little children and baked them in her oven. Adult ones also should be careful when she was around...

...But when the "New Times" has come, she had to change herself as well, to fit to "new frame"... and i guess all the stories about her shouldn't be take too serious ;)

C&C are most welcome

Thanx

When I scanned through my hexikon for different myths I read about this story :) Your interpretation looks interesting.

Hi
Great topic, i was thinking about it myslelfs. I like the concept of a mechanical chicken. (maybe it's a little bit to simple at the back - for example the wall with the door on the balcony could be more interesting) :)
Powodzenia ;)

[Nomad]

Nice start with verry cool sketches :thumbsup:


Powodzenia! :beer:

Hi

Here another pic.
In this stage i'm trying to make the composition rigth. Few things, are still missing here, but overall placement of major subjects is on stage, i guess.

C&C very welcome
Thanx

[Jason Ogg]

Nomad: Thanx. Życzę Ci powodzenia również.

Ros1: Thanx. As You can see now, some detalis were added to the scene, and this is just the begining. Tobie również powodzenia.

HumbleHenk: I'm doing my best ;)

Thanx

[Ros1]

It's much better now imo. :) Waiting for more...

another step closer to the end

Great work...I really love how you have posed the elements of the image.:cool:

[Intervain]

that's plain awesome! Hope you finish it :) :applause:

[alicelefay]

I love the Baba Yaga, so I'm most curious to see what you will create :)
Your lines are wonderful clear, I love them...and the steampunk chicken is such a cool idea!

Hello
Here is colour scheme. I know it is a bit messy, and readability is a bit faulty too, but fortunatly it's WIP.

What do You think?
C&C most welcome.

Hey there! Let me say I love ur drawing and line quality. It feels like how i'd draw :D Also I like the concept of this fowl and the environment u've set it in fits so nicely. Can't wait to c more development. All the best 2 u! :beer:

[Coolavy]

Man that's just funtastic:) I thought about making Kurza Łapka House too. Baba Yaga concept is one of the best thing i saw here. Her face expression just killing me;) By the way ain't you think that characters on this pic are bit too small. In my opinion there is something wrong in proportions between people and buildings. Tak czy siak pracka wypasiona. Powodzenia! P.S.Ain't you studying architecture? Your Baba Yaga should definetly drive Fiat 126p:)

tweaking colours continous.
I was also tring to distinguish first, second and other plans.

C&C most welcome
Cheers

mrpeace: thanx a lot
Intervain: thanx. I hope too
alicelefay: Thanx. I must say i'm curious too
kdot: Thanx. I'll do my best
Coolavy: Thanx for your kind words. If you are thinking 'bout Yaga, i've made her a small woman in purpose. She is small, but powerful (like Yoda), and maybe guy on the first plan is a bit too big, and too low. I'll check it, and make necessary corrections. And no i don't study architecture.

Cheers

Hello

It's been long time since i've posted my last pic.

Now i finaly have found some time to work.
Change some contrast to emphasize shadows, to make it more like sunny day.
I've change some colours, but fortunatly it is not the closed case.

C&C are most welcome.
Cheers

Hey Marek Happy New Year 2 u. I'm very interested in ur progress so far and like the direction it has taken. One question tho, where did the egg come from? Maybe you could show a mechanism from which the egg fell through? Just a thought, nevertheless keep up the good work and all the best in this challenge.

[mrpeace]

Good progress!
