CBinnsIllustration Really great topic again and I really like your concepts! Everything looks really visually nice, especially that first one.
The Mystic Witch: Although The Mystic Witch looks really good, I feel the overall idea and composition is a bit generic and doesn't really feel like she is a witch aside from being more of some type of beautiful enchantress. I really do love the flow of the piece with her hair and the magic curving through the piece. I also really like the lighting setup on the character in this piece along with how you did the dress and even gave her a very cool and detailed choker around her neck.
The Puppeteer: This is a really interesting concept and feels a bit like it's out of the movie Nightmare Before Christmas. This character really looks much more like a witch in comparison to The Mystic Witch. I really like how the lighting is emphasising focus on her face and the overall idea of her puppeteering the flying monkeys is definitely cool. Although this has a lot of potential and I definitely know it could fly, I seem to be more fixated on the third concept, Those Socks.
Those Socks: I really like this thumbnail concept a lot and it is very Frazetta-esque to me, with a really nice fantasy art feel. I do however have to agree with what Darktiste mentions about the environment taking over the character. These briefs are really supposed to be about the character as possible, not doing landscapes. I feel strongly that cropping this piece would make an incredible world of difference and allow you to naturally be able to focus on the character more with much more emphasis and detail making for a really great and epic fantasy style piece.
Bat Out of Hell: This concept is really funky and I do like it a lot, we basically have a motorized broom machine that the witch is riding instead of just simply the broom; I really think this idea is brilliant, and it has a lot of potential! Again, the environment totally competes with the character here though and although this might work great for a book style illustration piece, it really doesn't do justice to emphasising the character. This is more of an industrial design of the week, or landscape design than it is character design.
So to conclude my input here I would have to say that my favorite is Those Socks and it really just needs to be cropped in my strong opinion to be able to manifest into something really functional and wonderful. Great work again on all these bro!
