Painting I've just finished. It is a cover for a second book of Bogatyr trilogy (by J.Cervenak). Cover for the first book can be found here: [link]

The Picture depicts Baba Jaga, character from Russian Legends (she was even in one Hellboy story). In the legends she is old and ugly. In this book she looks a little different :).

C&c very welcome

Yes - i think a interpretation without her flying around in a mortar with pestle or walking with her chickenfeet-house is absolutly acceptable=P
Great pic, and in considering of her illusion-magic this is also tradition-correct;)

Thank you!
The novel this for is dark and gritty action fantasy. So like this she is better suited for the world

I take it this was her BEFORE the fairytales she's in take place, since she's not old & grody.
