Jack is being led to the witches lair by a young girl who is actually the witch in disguise. She has been hunting him all along. A wolf in sheep’s clothing. Her name is Cypress…..
Below, a little bit of the Making of Witchhouse Cypress, some thumbnail house shapes and thumbnail compositions:
And to those who scrolled all the way to the bottom of the post, here is concept character sketch for the young girl:

Again, we have a little developmental work from the Jack and the Shaman layout. As you can see, I played around with numerous configurations and silhouettes before settling on the character design.
And of course the real JZSOTD aficionados will recall a similar character, I played around with almost a year ago. Who among us can remember back that far?
It’s pretty crazy, but today, October 21st, will mark the one year anniversary of the site. We set a pretty wicked pace from the get go and while we slowed things up in the last couple of months, the new year begins as strong as ever.
Behold the BATTLE that began it all!
This was my first real sketch of the character from yesterday’s post although I do have lots of thumbnail silhouettes that I made before this.
There are a few other different versions of this character which I may compile into its own post at some point or maybe I’ll try to update and format this post to show more of the making of Jack and the Shaman.
