Happy Steam Punk Witch - digital illustration

| A Happy SteamPunk Witch preparing for Halloween |
This digital illustration was created
during October 2018. It feature a happy steampunk witch going about
her business of creating potions and spells at her cauldron. It can
be seen that the coven has a number of technical refinements
including a gas fired cauldron, a steam pump for pushing various
chemicals around the area and in to the cauldron, and some evidence
of electricity for various experiments. The witch still prefers to
create her potions the manual way when possible. As found in many
covens a black cat is a customary addition to the surroundings, and
is perched up on a stool watching activities. The witch herself still
wears the typical pointy hat but has a number of 'steampunk'
additions in the way of goggles, corset with straps and stylized
jewellery.
The illustration is painted in 'auto
sketchbook pro, initially drawn on an android 'galaxy' tablet to find
the composition, with some basic colour work being done on the device
too. At a later stage the file is exported to the same software
running on a Windows 10 machine, where the image is greatly enlarged
and repainted to a finer standard for final output, which can be seen
on this link.
