Green-eyed Noemi the baking witch hushes a magic spell from her ruby lips and gilded cake decorating hand, wearing a cotton candy collared coat with peppermint buttons, cinnamon buns in her curly red hair and bright, sprinkles makeup. This piece, titled “Noemi the Witch”, is from digital painter FAYBEL’s work-in-progress, fantasy-fairytale “The Rag Doll Princess”.
“Weird Tales” Exhibition Excerpt: “Noemi the Witch”
“The Red Woman hushed, talon to mouth, lips stirring swift—a whisked smuggish smile, “Shush, my child, have not a peep, lest the pastries be soured—in the quiet retreat.” A deep beast moaned, dour in defeat, as the floorboards fizzed fires, licks of emerald from the labyrinthine beneath.”
~ from “The Rag Doll Princess”, an original fairytale
Below its derelict catacombs, in a lush, candy-coated labyrinth, spilling with animated toys and peppermint, pretzel-legged arachnids, Noemi, a mystical baking Witch, batches pastries and treats for 42 child-snatching goblins. In tenuous unity, they toil down deep, creeping the bowls of the walking city Amblebread.
The Illustration
On a path entombed by emerald magic, in a theatrical, deceptive manoeuvre, Noemi guides a throng of goblin-lured children to the Amblebread Creature’s core, a walking beast of cosmic terror—their city’s guard, its guise against the Ourobim, a pestilence storied to chase the Amblebread city on the back of its creature before time remembered.
Happy Holidays & A Very Merry Christmas to those who celebrate!
