Okay, I'll admit it --- I worship the ground Terry Pratchett walks on. This character pic is loosely based on the Faerie Queen from 'Lords & Ladies', one of his books featuring Granny Weatherwax. (I identify heavily with Granny -- it's difficult doing right by people.) This is slightly cropped from the original 11x15 watercolor painting.

Love it! She looks evil, but it's cool. The eyebrows are a bit bushy tho'. Love the headpiece! Ever consider jewellery designing as a career?

This really shows how evil they really are. But for some reason I imagined the Queen having almost white hair. Her eyes are great.
Terry Pratchett rocks! =)

"You'd have to go a long day's journey to find someone that's basically nastier than Esme...She was born to be good and she don't like it." - Terry Pratchett, Witches abroad

The Witches books are great.

Hey, this is great! Your art is full of character! I have been looking at your art and noticing all your references to Terry Pratchett. Do you know what kind of paint/pencils he uses. (just out of curiosity.) It seems like he mixes watercolor and colored pencil. Yes?
