Field Guide To Witches Artists Grimoire Hardcover

Step into a world of witchcraft both good and evil, where the iconic character of myth and legend is once more brought uniquely to life. From the first alleged witch to be hanged in Salem, and Goya's depictions of witchcraft, to Shakespeare's Macbeth, Hogwarts, and beyond, there is no shortage of inspiration, but also of recycled characterizations and central-casting stereotypes. Now, 30 of the world's most talented fantasy and concept artists discover their own, personal manifestation of the witch. A summary of each witch details their background, behavior, strengths, weaknesses and, of course, powers. The result is the ultimate field guide to designing witches that transcend time, place, and even the most vivid imagination.
