bewitched bog - drawtober 2022

Bewitched Bog | Drawtober | Watercolour and White Ink The bog remembers

I'm actually kinda gobsmacked this came outta my hands; it's entirely beyond my comfort zone! But I felt like, as an Irish person, the prompt of "bog" was too important to not give it my all. Did you know that it takes 3 years for your footprint to disappear on a bog? (well, on Sphagnum moss. I've learned so much about bogs this week just prepping for this hahah!) In reality, I loathe bogs. I mean, I understand they're important from an ecological standpoint, but I will never get the noise - the squelch of a shoe claimed by the bog - out of my head; it's happened to me far too many times. The memories of bog are the memories of saturated toes and socks that'll never be the same again

Everyone upon this wide world of Enokh quickly learns that the lands around the Maw, the bottomless abyss created from the Dyad's struggle, is not for the faint of heart. Very few things are as they seem, the air shimmers with magic, and one must forget all they know of the natural order of things, if they wish to find their footing there. So when in a bog of most unusual sights, should a large boulder under you begin to wander, it is  good practice to go with the flow... and watch out for some Hydra Willows.

So this art challenge really did give me ideas for the actual worldbuilding! :D So while the creation of the crater in Enokh is shrouded in myth and legend, it is undeniable that whatever had caused it was of magical nature. This magic was so potent and terrible, that it absolutely warped the waters and lands around it, turning it into basically Magical Australia "Welcome to Hell" Edition (TM). These parts of the map truly deserve the infamous comment "Here There Be Dragons". Not even gigases or seraphs, the two strongest children of the gods are truly safe there.

5. Bewitched Bog

The next Drawtober prompt was Bewitched Bog, which just makes me think of a humid bayou in the south. A lil witch frog and her bog fairy friend who definitely brings her tasty flies. We’re not even sure if she’s a witch, someone might have just put that hat on her.

There was going to be vines pushed away with the torch and the circle was going to be a crystal ball but then it was midnight...

The apprentice witch has been searching the swamp high and low for a will-o-the-wisp to light her candle. Look, there’s one now!

Man this is one that I could have kept fiddling with for ages. But it had to be done tonight!
