The Stick Hag

2006, pencil

Another one from my pet story that will never see the light of day, Idylle. The Stick Hag was born while I was trapped in a very nice hotel room in California. With nothing to do, nobody to talk to, and the whole of the hotel already explored, I ended up watching The Brother's Grimm. The Hag was my immagination's answer to the idea of scary fairy tales.

The Stick Hag is a twisted lump of a creature that travels around in search of something unknown to any save herself. She leads a beatiful, unearthly women with a silver chain and a heavy pair of manacles. The woman never speaks, but will occasionally flash a set of tiny pointed teeth.
