Winter the Witch

Now available as a print, t-shirt, iphone case and more!

Another quick little design for future use in The Chronicles of Dru.

Wizards and witches in the land of Dru have the same magical capabilities, but the way they talk to Magic in order to use it is where the difference lies. Wizards talk to Magic through spells that involve conversation, coaxing and rhyme. Witches talk to Magic through spells that involve flattery, coercion and ambiguity.
Both wizards and witches are completely legal practices in the land of Dru as Magic responds very differently to both sects. (Wizards can do things witches can't, and witches can do things wizards can't)

The only illegal way to talk to Magic is through runes (written spellcasting) because it was too specific and powerful (and causes Tourettes in a small village of bees down south), and of course Dark Magic is also forbidden.

Winter here is a bit on the bad side-- she likes to use Magic to do... well, bad things!

As for her design, I decided to give her a really high hairline because I know most people would find it unattractive. My characters gotta have an "ugly" factor or I get bored.
