An ordinary Witch doctor
🕑 Added 2022-09-16 05:23:06 +0000 UTCHello guys. This week was hectic over here. First school day madness, running and driving here and there, running on errands. My wife's parents got the corona (again), but this time we managed to keep ourselves out of their reach (for now), so the only thing we can do is to buy them food and stuff and leave those in front of their door, then we call them on phone. In addition, my family is having a housing problem that requires my entire attention...
Anyways. Aside from the non-art-related stuff - which really causes my inability to work on commissions these days, I've had another experience just yesterday.
I'm on Instagram and there I posted some of my caricatures ( I do have only 30 followers on there, but still). Yesterday though I got a spammy comment by a random guy, who after a more careful reading appeared to be a witch doctor. A real African witch doctor. I made a screenshot of that.
After following the link to his Facebook - for reasons I hid it under a black line, for I have no reason or intention to advertise his craft - so his Facebook had zero followers /at the time of my visit, which was yesterday. But the guy had photos of his workplace - presumably, a hut interior, numerous coconut shells, used as vessels to hold his magic stuff: he had plastic bags with a white powder inside, dried limbs of small animals and God knows what else.
There was a photo of a bunch of Afrikan people in white robes and another one holding a chicken above his head, and another one - more looking like an artwork: a black person dressed as a religious-looking patriarch with a crown, sitting on a throne, etc. I just left. I didn't keep the link and I don't regret it.
Welcome to the internet guys.
This thing made me create this character /with the same name/but I made it to be a female. She'll be a con-art witch doctor, who'll take an episodic role in my comic "Nicholas The Bard", which you guys can follow on my NSFW site. The first people who are able to see the new pages of the comic however are all of my patrons! :-)
I also created a poll on Twitter, where I'm asking people to choose the look of this witch doctor. If possible, please come and help me to choose - yesterday I was too tired to update you with this drawing and quickly went to bed.
BTW today's going to be a busy day to me as well - like I mentioned above, there's a problem that requires my entire attention - it won't be solved in one day, but today I have to put a start on solving that issue, so guys wish me luck, and yeah -
check my Twitter poll and help me to choose the look of this Dr Salahm.
