This is a very dark piece, but it's wonderful. Even if it's not connected to Russian Lore it still has a bit of Russian feel to it. Maybe not as cold as I would consider, but just as lonely and stark. Excellent work on the shading and dithering as well.

Awesome.  How the mountains fade to nothing is a nice touch.

I love the dithering. In fact it strongly makes me think of a pointillist style of sorts.

Lovely. My only crit is that the background behind the hills, while I agree with its vagueness, should be less noisy. good job with the suble impression of trees behind the hills.

mushmush, read the pics description! I know about the real hut of baba yaga: a hut with chickens' legs that has a mind of its own, but I didnt actually draw it there, or didnt even think about the witchs' legend.
I called it "The hut of baba yaga" because I was listening to ELP's rock n roll remake of Mussorgsky's Карти́нки с вы́ставки (Pictures at an exhibition), and this image flashed in my mind. So I called the drawing after the movement that was playing at the time of the flash. Hohoho, almost-obscure origins! Talk about pseudo-depth!

Nice scene! Makes me think of Van Gogh or soemthing. Really nicely done. I have a lot of respect for people that can pull off backdrops/landscapes. I'm only good for characters.

Thanks for the comments. For the color pencil style, its more or less what I was looking for by making the dithering as chaotic as possible. But maybe I could have mimmiced pencil strokes better.

This is awesome!  It looks so surreal!  Looks as if it was colored with colored pencils, too.  5/5 and fav!
