Halloween Night 3 - Wasp Lady

It's night 3 of the Halloween painting project and I decided to paint a sharp looking Wasp Lady. These insects are terrifying in real life but I just can't deny that they look so darn cool.

Halloween Night 2 - Raven Lady

Hey guys, it’s the second night and because this project is inspired by last night’s Spider Lady, all 12 illustrations from now on will all be original designs. Tonight is a posh Raven Lady.

Halloween Night 1 - Spider Lady

Tonight's the start of my 13 night countdown to Halloween project!

The first painting is from the Harry Potter book called Moste Potente Potions. I fell in love with the illustration of the spider lady and just had to based my Halloween project around her. Here's some information on the spider lady that I found on Harry Potter Wiki:

      "In the book, there is a picture (Figure VII) of a woman
       with a grotesquely large spider on her head, almost worn like
       an ornament. Whether or not this is an effect of a potion is
       unknown. It is possible that it is the side-effect of
       accidentally imbibing a Polyjuice Potion contaminated by
       spider hairs, similar as to when Hermione was partially
       transfigured into a cat when her Polyjuice Potion was
       contaminated with cat hair. "

Check back tomorrow night to see what new lady concoction will be painted.

Nostalgic Treat - Liquorice
