More #folktaleweek goodness. “They were able to get into the castle with key their father gave them but it was clear the kingdom was struck by a blight…or something else”.

Ink and watercolor illustration in shades of gray of a boy walking through fields, approaching a hare who sits watching him. The landscape looks dead, and birds flock in the distance.
The boy found the hare in a meadow among crops killed by the blight. He asked the hare, "How do I break this terrible curse on the land?" The hare replied, "I haven't a clue, but you might ask the old bullfrog in the swamp." #Folktaleweek (Part 3/7) #Folktaleweekblight #kidlitart
Illustrated image of a blighted tree, straddling the gutter of a double page spread of text, with made up text on each side of the page's illustration. Tree is predominantly green and brown rot, with a grey paper texture behind everything.
Illustrated phone wallpaper of a blighted, dead tree trunk without leaves, running upward along the left side of the image, branches fading to the right into a mist. A warm gray paper texture is behind everything.
Illustrated chapter opening page featuring a spot illustration of a hand holding an oak leaf with greenish gray texture on it on the top of the page, with fake nonsense text on the bottom. Behind everything is a gray paper texture.
The #FolktaleWeek2024 prompt word for today is "Blight".
I felt that was hard for me (personally) to make pretty... So I leaned into straddling the gutter as a framing mechanism for text.
I also made a chapter heading spot illustration.

Sequential digital art with a colored pencil like texture and a dark color scheme. A kid wearing a backpack climbs a staircase in the dark on the left. Top right they are asleep in bed in their room. Their bed has a bunch of stuff packed under it including their backpack with a glowing skull peeking out. Mustard colored mushrooms begin to grow out from there down into the next frame which is the kid’s worried face completely surrounded now by mushrooms, with their green dino stuffie peeking out from under more mushrooms, looking concerned as well.

Rosie the Scottish Terrier confronts a squirrel and must answer a riddle in order to continue on her quest.
Rosie approached the squirrel. The squirrel spoke. "Only shall you continue on your quest, if you answer my riddle best. What has lots of bark, but no bite?"
Rosie thought long & hard about this before giving her answer. "A tree." @folktaleweek.bsky.social #folktaleweekblight #folktaleweek2024
Welsh Witch
Folktale Week - Blight
Today’s drawing isn’t based on a particular Welsh tale but just on witches on general and how they were considered a ‘blight’ on communities.

BLIGHT for @folktaleweek.bsky.social "Therefore to our sick eyes, the stunted trees look sick..." Emerson #folktaleweek2024 #folktaleweekblight
BLIGHT #folktaleweekblight
I’ve wanted to try the pencil sketch + digital color for a long while! I’d be super psyched to do a darker picture book or middle grade project in the this style.
When I have a bit more time, I'd love to try this comp in ink + watercolor!

My linocut print Itsumade on 9” x 12” ivory washi paper shows the mythological creature with the face of a man complete with moustache, yellow bird beak, burgundy wings and legs with big claws and scaly green snake body swirling through the night sky between clouds and above the blue and grey roofs of a Japanese town.
The 3rd #FolktaleWeek2024 prompt is #FolktaleWeekBlight so I carved & printed a Lino block print of an Itsumade. A supernatural creature from Japanese folklore called a kaichō, or strange or eerie bird, the Itsumade has a human face with sharp beak-like mouth, fearsome claws with talons as sharp 🧵

Illustration for the folktale week prompt blight, by Nicola Schofield. A man with a bushy grey beard, wearing a neon yellow high-vis hooded coat pushes a bent and broken supermarket trolley. Inside, two children sleep.
#folktaleweek day 3: Blight
Blighted, the children sleep as the wizard takes back his property. The damage will need to be paid for.
