Design for a book cover with the kids and the witch, who, with her golden halo, looks like an evil saint. I like how the artist caught aspects of the kids’ personalities here and gave them the correct hair colors that were in the book.
An angry witch who appears to screaming “Hand over that traitor right NOW!”
The witch on her throne surrounded by petrified creatures. She looks a bit petrified herself.
An epic, mature White Witch by artist Denver Balbaboco who might have stepped out of an Wagnerian opera.
A manga White Witch. This is the scene where she offers Edmund (who is inexplicably kneeling in the snow) the Turkish Delight, but she’s a bit too wholesome and cheery for my taste. Edmund’s nighttime getup is copied from the movie, the witch’s bubble grown from this Leo and Diane Dillon rendition.
This White Witch, from a stage production, is so vain she has her own face carved into the back of her “throne” (a fabric-draped wicker peacock chair, once a Pier One specialty.) Her majorette hat, combined with her wimple and kimono-like gown, is inspired, despite the cheap-looking Maugrim who’s wearing a Halloween werewolf mask on his head.
THIS is how you do a White Witch / Edmund Halloween costume couple!
A mournful White Witch print by artist Jonathan Bean, who did a whole series of alternate Chronicles covers available as signed, limited-edition prints.
Say WHAT?
