Step into a world of witchcraft both good and evil, where the
iconic character of myth and legend is once more brought uniquely
to life. From the first alleged witch to be hanged in Salem, and
Goya's depictions of witchcraft, to Shakespeare's Macbeth,
Hogwarts, and beyond, there is no shortage of inspiration, but also
of recycled characterizations and central-casting stereotypes. Now,
30 of the world's most talented fantasy and concept artists
discover their own, personal manifestation of the witch. Starting
with research, readers will witness the alchemy of details
extracted from the seemingly mundane transformed the whole body of
the witch, fantastical yet unnervingly believable at the same time.
The design process goes on to cast spells not only on appearance,
but also the environment, practices, and magical belongings of this
one-of-a-kind witch. With the final design depicted as both a line
drawing and in full color, the whole character and their world is
defined. A summary of each witch details their background,
behaviour, strengths, weaknesses and, of course, powers. The result
is 320 pages encased in a beautifully finished hardback cover, the
ultimate field guide to designing witches that transcend time,
place, and even the most vivid imagination.
