Kashchey the Deathless is one of key characters of Slavic Fairytales. He is the son of Czernobog (Slavic deity whose name means "Black God"). Kaschei maintained his life and immortality through the removal of his soul. Taking it from his body, it was said he hid it in a needle, inside an egg, in a duck, in a rabbit, then locked it in an iron or crystal chest, and buried it under a green oak on an island. There is no iconic image of him so I have a little freedom of creation. This character inspired Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov to wright a one-act opera in 1902
Drawing antihero is a little bit out of my comfort zone . I choose to draw Kashchey because he is not a gray side character, but creature of the dark. In this work I use brown conte, sharpie marker , HB pencil and watercolor paper .

Your work techniques are amazing, I would like to leave the graphite and experience new techniques, I rarely dare to use color.

You can try to work with sepia sticks and sepia pencil. The color is dark brown and it very soft( plus it did not give you shine that graphite usually do). I just have only watercolor paper in my house at this moment( waiting for an art supply order to arrive) and pencil would look terrible on it.

Another very strong entry @marinaart!
You'll fancy your chances after winning last time! I really like where you went with this. Picking an unusual character (at least in the public eye), especially one that is steeped in slavic folklore is a terrific choice. He looks like he could be a boss in the Witcher. Good use of lighting and mood too. The character itself is great for a card of kings and I appreciate that you included so much of your process. You have done well and thanks for participating!
