Koschei the Deathless - from a slavic tale.I used a picture by the illustrator Jan Černý as reference for the character and the horse, and another one by Ivan Bilibin for the patterns.
Inks on orange paper.

Did you use salt to get the patterns in the sky? I love the effect.

Do you have any tips for getting it right? I have a hard time getting the right effect. How wet is your watercolor when you apply the salt?

Bravo pour l'orange, meilleure couleur de l'univers ! Ton dessin est remarquable,
presque de la BD pour le coup et l'ambiance d'un macabre assez magique est
parfaitement appropriée à ce type de personnage maléfique.

Haha, dire qu'au début je ne savais pas quoi en faire de ce papier orange vif! C'est vrai que ça ressort plutôt bien avec l'encre de Chine...
Merci beaucoup pour cette remarque!

I can't stop admiring your style, but for me it's not Koschei but rather Dracula 
Koschei of russian fairy-tales is mostly depicted as skinny even sceleton-like old man in black armor and with a longsword 'cause he embodies medieval enemy from Western Europe (teutonic knight).

I especially love the horse, it looks demonic and very fitting for such a being as koshej

Oh my....this is amazing, it captures the essence really well. So intense....and the white eyes bring that "dangerous demonic monster" feeling
Really ominous Koščej.
