I thought I had exhausted all the maps of Narnia that are out there but I did find two new ones, to me that is, this year. The first, the one above, is a what-if. What if Calormen had been successful in its invasion of Narnia in The Horse and His Boy? This map, overlaid …
Not done with the White Witches yet. There’s plenty more to display. For example, here’s a young fan’s cosplay. White Witchiness truly encompasses all ethnicities. A kind of Valkyrie, or Elf Queen maybe, that could be a spectacular White Witch for the stage. An unusual perspective of the White Witch meeting Edmund — she’s charging …
Isn’t this the most sneery, evil, White Witch ever? She’s clapping her hands after some showy but failed assault on her castle, saying “Well done, children, that was a good effort if a little lame I must say. Now I will turn all of you into stone.” This pic was done for International Womens Day, …
This is it. It’s AWFUL. Why is there a lion’s pawprint on a window? It only has three toes making it zoologically suspect. Or is that supposed to be a minimalistic version of the back of the White Witch’s head facing three of the Pevensie kids?
Sometimes it’s the simplest White Witch portraits that are the most effective, like this one here, which substitutes glacial green for the ubiquitous blue tones that are usually used for the background. It’s part of a homeschool art lesson. Another simple, yet effective, witch, with a gray or pewter cast. She seems not so evil …
Once again it’s time to present some notable and unusual depictions of the White Witch that I’ve discovered over the past year. Like this one, above, that’s suitable for a professionally published children’s book. The artist gave her no iris or pupils, which makes for a scary touch. Edmund looks very small and seems to …
Here’s some more depictions I found of Narnia’s favorite baddie, Tash! The illustration above, by Trenton Long, adheres both to the book and Pauline Baynes’ iconic illustration. Tall, skinny, with man-snatching Bandersnatch claws, plus that pectoral collar and scraggly loincloth. The head is more pterosaur-like than avian, but his expression says he’s full of evil …
The beast-riding post made me think of this wonderful cartoon, which has been around for at least 25 years and may have been inspired by one of the Jurassic Park movies. Any info on the original creator?
