She is unusual she is unique and she is rather special in Slavic folklore. She can be considered evil, usually if the children are naughty and she is considered a protector of sorts if her story is told to good little children. I always put her in the category of Hansel and Gretels fairytale. She can be both good/bad. I think it is awesome that you are stepping into the awesome world of folklore ❤ Love your work!
@Forgefaerie2 жыл бұрын
honestly I would say she is closer to the original (NOT Disney version) sea witch from little mermaid. mostly neutral spirit of the forest. and a lot of the fairy tales where she is encountered - if you are honest, hardworking and polite with her, she will help you. but if you lie and cheat, she will hurt you. the only similarity to Hanzel and Gretel is that she can be canibalistic sometimes, but usually her fence made of skulls is a warning system, much like the coral brumbles on the way to the sea witch. she is NOT trying to lure people in, she is trying to keep them out.
@jennylawson19802 жыл бұрын
Thank you for the information ❤ Sea witch….I can definitely see the relation. I think it would be neat to see the Sandman with both good/evil vibes as well. Ace has that ability to manipulate any design into something extraordinary.

@TwospotzArtAndCraft2 жыл бұрын
VERY cool and so detailed! Ace! Tip for those who can't find/afford the scenic stuff making material. 1. Sawdust blended with green acrylic paint! mix it in a pot and keep stirring til its dry. Once the paint dries the sawdust will be green and you can keep it in a bag, just smoosh it about to get it sprinkle like in textures. Do several different coloured batches as nature is, as we know, more than just one green! 2. Moss! Look up x-mas decorations! They have all kinds of fun and useful diorama stuff that can be picked apart to be re-used elsewhere. 3. Sand! Really, you can just buy plain pay sand OR scoop it up from the driveway etc. Sprea it on a plate and bake it for one hour on 100C in the oven . This will kill off any germs. If you want to, wash it with soap first. Store in a good lid container afterwards. 4. Rocks. Well, use stones and clean them off. I also found that various confir trees - spruce in particular, have thick rough bark that can be basecoated black and then various crybrushing stages can give some darn fine stone textures. Do bake the raw bark first to kill off any germs, bugs and bad stuff. 5. Hair. Well, use some yarn. Do a search on doll wig making here on You tube and improvise from there. It is really remarkable how useful it can be to do some "cross pollination" from many hobbies. Happy crafting to all you creative souls!
@irosquaredboku2 жыл бұрын
Great work! I agree with a lot of the comments, though. Baba Yaga isn't necessarily an evil character; she's a force of nature, in a way. The thing that lurks in the forest. Punishes the naughty and those who disrespect nature, but fair to those who follow the "rules". One of my favorite story books as a wee kid was "Babushka Baba Yaga" where she dresses up as a babushka grandma and cares for a boy and his single mother, but is found out and has to flee, but comes back to save the boy from wolves. It's not a traditional tale of her, but is still fun.
