After a hard days work hunting down the witch population the witchfinder general likes nothing better than to come home to a nice cup of tea. Of course, he has a captive witch to do his tea making...perks of the job. Replacement witch slaves are always on the cards as these ladies of the night like nothing better than to spike his tea with dead mice.

Don't ask! And yes I do love my tea but in no way is the witchfinder general moi!!!! HONESTLY!

This took me ages to do and I have decided enough is enough, no more tinkering, I shall leave it as it is.

Photoshop 7.0
about 3-4 weeks on and off (and I do mean on and off)

P.S you can hardly see the mice and small details!!!! You need to see it at full size. I may upload close ups of various parts...anyway there are 6 mice!


EDIT! I was not expecting the ridiculous amount of messages I got and although I tried to reply to everyone it just got too mad in the end HAHAHA! So if I didnt say thank you I say it now THANK YOU for your kind responses! I really do appreciate it! Now that the madness has died down I will be able to get back to answering my 1or 2 messages a day lol

Cheers everyone

Andy

"After a hard days work hunting down the witch population the witchfinder general likes nothing better than to come home to a nice cup of tea. Of course, he has a captive witch to do his tea making...perks of the job." *wildlifehoodoo tells us about his imaginative artwork, the Witchfinder General's Kitchen.
The wonderful details, which include but are certainly not limited to, of the patchwork on the witch's dress, to the cats in the background, to the challenge of finding the 6 mice he presents us with, are a feast for the eyes. But don't stop here, there are more tasty images to be found in this deviants gallery - enjoy! (Suggested by $fangedfem and Featured by $chix0r)

Beautiful work! This is so freaking awesome... I'm just sitting here stunned.

There are so many cool details that catch my eye. It is always the little things that impress me so much with I look at paintings and drawings. Just a few - her skin looks flawless, the glimmer on the pans, steam coming off the teapot and mug, shadow of the teapot and on and on.

Bravo! :+fav:

Andy, this is great, for certain your best (I agree with Kadu, go figure that one). I like the improvements you've made to the black cat, and love the tuffs of fur.

Oh yeah, I am so digging her hat and hair, and the tear in her stockings!♥

XD I am enjoying this painting very much. the mouse in the tea cup was the last one I found. out of interest was she dressed like that befor she was captured or does the witchfinder make her dress like that ?
