My little story.
Place: Siberia.
Time: Nowadays.
Introduction: Babahai - name for a bear in Buryat language. Some scientists suppose that term babahai is designation of died and elder relations.
Evening mist slowly settled upon the lakeshore. Gloomy taiga, surrounding the lakeshore, started to absorb it. There was a autumn flavour in the air. Leaves on trees already began to change their color, and forest

looked like persian carpet. People, visited this place, always found strange calmness. Natives say that it is the place, where one of the forest’s spirit sleeping, and his dreams create this atmosphere of serenity and

peace.
Taiga is a severe place to live. But for ages people did not left this magneficient forests. There are a lot of little villages, hidden behind the century pines. Civilization did not disturb them for a long time. But humanity

becomes more and more voracious. And more and more often people with motor saws visiting ancient forests, leaving waste areas on the places century-old trees grown.
There was complete tranquility on the lake. Sometimes fish created splashes, feeding in the clean water. Dozens of mosquitoes filled the air, and the birds began their evening feast. forest mouses rustled in the falled

leaves. Sometimes woodpecker’s fraction sounded, echoing in the evening twilight.
But some othe noise was added in this nature symphony. There was no place for it here, but the sound swelled, and soon any “civilized” people could recognize the car engine’s roar.
Off-road soon apeared. Crackling with fallen tree branches it forced his way through the thick forest. Sometimes it stucked and then people went out to cleaк the way. Soon last shrubbery was destroyed and the car

went out to the lakeshore.
-OK, guys, we are on the place. Lets start to make a camp. Go, go, we have a lot of job here! - spoken the tall man in the green boiler suit and started to lead the car unloading.
His three companions began to set up a camp. Soon they put up the tent. One of them, man with red hairs, took the gasoline-powered saw and went to the forest.
-Cut this big one, - said tall man, showing the tallest pine near them and unwrapping the bar of chocolate. -Through couple hours rest are coming. Lets show them how we can work.
-i’ll do my best, boss, - answered red, breaking through the tangle. Suddenly he cryed and big eagle-owl, inaudibly flapping with wings, flyed from the the forest.
One of the arrivals snatched out the rifle and shot into the bird. Eagle-owl twitched, flyed some more and droped to the lake.
People shouted encoraging exclamations.
-Good shot, - sayed tall man. -Victor, what happened?
-That bird almost made me crazy! It appeared so suddenly! Oh, that evil forest, and that evil mosquito. Those shrubbery is so thick,- answered red and continuing to abuse, switched on the saw.
Through couple minutes the saw was stopped.

  • Allright, boss. I am cleared the path, but there are strange symbols carved on this tree. - sayed he from the forest darkness.
    -Maybe geological tags? - supposed tall man.
    -I do not think so. It is rather native symbols, I think you would better to look on it. - answered red.
    -Look, Viktor, we came here to build the recreation center. And our first mission - to cut as much wood as we can. Do you have any more questions? - exclaimed tall man with annoyance in the voice.
    -Ok, boss, understood.- sayed red, switching on the saw.
    Meanwhile other party members collected firewood and lighted the campfire. Boss went to them and sat on the log before the fire.
    The saw rattling became irregular and calmed down.
    -Viktor, what happened? Tree is still standing. - cryed tall man.
    No one answered. Boss stood up. -Vi-i-i-ktor - shouted he in a drawling manner.
    -He is little busy. - said ringing voice behind them.
    All the party members gave a start and stared on the little girl, that mystically appeared on the lakeshore. She is looked like guest from the past, wearing sarafan, kerchief, and holding woven basket in the hand.
    -Who… who are you? - stammered tall man.
    -Masha. Why did you come? - answered she with ringing voice.
    Boss recovered from the fear. - Sasha, you live here, who is it? - he asked one of his companions.
    Sasha with a puzzled look shrugged his shoulders. - Maybe Old believer? - supposed he. Boss frowned.
    -Masha, we are builders. Soon we will build the recreation center here. - irresolutely sayed he and added - Did you seen our friend? He was in the forest …
    -Yes. Why did you kill my bird? - she asked suddenly.
    -What bird? We did not touched any birds? - answered boss making helpless gesture. - Dmitry, go and call Viktor. - added he to the man with rifle.
    Dmitry went to the forest, timorously looking around.
    -You liar. - said girl looking in the boss eyes. - He. - she pointed the finger at Dmitry, dissapearing in the tree branches. - He killed my bird. - She paused.
    -Oh. I suppose you one of the Old Believers. Where is your home? - sayed boss, trying to change the subject.
    -Not for food. - continued girl. - Just for fun. - girl turned to the forest and her eyes started glowing with blue fire.
    -Who… who are you? - once again stammered tall man.
    The Girl did not respond. Heartrending yell and shot sounded from the forest.
    -What’s happened? - asked tall man nervously.
    From the forest, slowly stepping, went out giant bear. His fur was light gray, covered with stripes glowing bright blue.
    -Babahai! - exclaimed Sasha and fell to his knees.
    -Stand up, coward! Where is my gun? - shouned the boss and ran to the car.
    He reached the car, jumped on the driver seat and started to fumble in the cabin. Soon he found rifle, switched safety device and aimed on the bear.
    A-A-A-A-A - shouted he. Girl Masha stood right before him and looked on the gun tube, directed between her eyes.
    -Die, witch! - Boss convulsively pulled down the trigger. Shot sounded. Between girl’s eyes appeared spot, she smiled and exhaled, changing into mist.
    When mist gone, boss saw Sasha. He stood on his knees and looked in the bear’s eyes, muttering something. Bear reached him and made terrible blow with his right front leg. Those, what rest from the human flyed

seven meters away and droped like shapeless heap.
Boss rechfrged the rifle and shot in the bear, whose silhouette glowed bright blue in the evening mist. Nothing happened. He shot again. Same effect.
-You can not make harm to us. - familiar voice sounded from the back seat.
Tall man became pale. He looked at the rear-view mirror. Masha sat on the right backseat and thoughtfully looked over her basket.
He pulled out the hunter knife and turned back, but nobody was there. Meanwhile the bear was already in front of the car. He roared and repeated his terrible blow. Everything began to spin and the boss blacked out.
When he came to oneself, he lay on the back under the big pine. Above him, stucked in the tree branches, hung the car. Boss tryed to move, and understood that does not feel the body.
-Too long we’ve been sleeping. - said Masha’s voice. - People became mad, Humankind betrayed the nature for it small-minded purposes. People are destroing all, what was created to help them survive in this world.
And we are must to stop this madness. Meat your mother, human, rest in peace.
Tall man felt that tree roots enmeshing him and he is slowly plunging into the wet soil. Soon roots winded his head and all was over.
Girl went out from the tangle. Giant bear followed her. They stood on the edge of the rock and before them laid giant valley, filled with tree-crop harvesters, raising houses, and people.
-I remember that place. - said girl sadly. Great trees grew here. And now all of them gone. Why?! - she turned to the bear. Beast ramped and roared.
-Yes, Babahai, we will refresh their memories. Son must to revere his mother. And if he is not - mother will punish him.

There is some of my bear sketches.

#4

I am decided to start from this conception.

#5

Hey Andrew,

Like a lot the design of the bear on your first sketch, really cool :smiley:
Perhaps your last composition without the car can be a great image with a cool mood.

Good luck and waiting for more updates. Cheers!! :beer:

#6

Thank you for your opinion. I think I will make two versions of the image. With and without car. Girl with the Bear will be the the calmness incarnation. But I want to add some battle approaching mood. Like - there will be no pity for evil humans! or something like this.:twisted:

#7

Here i added some more details. I thought a lot about the car and decided not to use it. At the first - it was breaking my composition, and at the second - there is no car in the last scene of my story. I want to thank Ferx. His advice helped me a lot.
There is not very much time left, but I think it is quite enoug to complete.
Thank you.
