Artist's Comments

In Swedish easter tradition it's common among children to celebrate the Easter holidays by dressing up as Easter witches. It's kind of similar to Halloween, kids go from door to door asking for candy.
According to the legend witches fly to Blåkulla during Easter time to gather and dance with the devil around a big bonfire. Sounds kind of creepy eh? Still, that's not what most people think of when they talk about Easter witches.
I tried to give this witch a look inspired by Swedish folklore and also to work in some easter colours.
The general idea is that she's lost.
Yup. :XD:

This piece by artist *fuurin features a lovely take on lore and tradition. The sweet little Easter Witch ,lost and trying to find her way, is a well-rendered character with a beautiful design and color scheme. (Featured by `mangapunksai)

Hey, what about an ultra sexy easter guy with one of those ugly rounded hats that were only invented to make some kind of equilibrium but has no purpose? EH? But she's very pretty XD when I saw the title I was imagining one of those sterotypical uggie witches, really pretty, I'm faving this whether you like it or not *.w :fav:
