Description Kikimora (Russian : кики́мора; IPA: [kʲɪˈkʲimərə] ) is a legendary creature , a female house spirit  in Slavic  (especially Eastern)mythology . Her role in the house is usually juxtaposed with that of the domovoy , whereas one of them is considered a "bad" spirit, and the other, a "good" one. There are two different kinds of Kikimoras. The one that comes from the forest is married to the Domovoi . The other one comes from the swamp (Russian : кики́мора боло́тная) and is married to Leshy .

Какая она... очаровательная! Мне кикиморы почему-то всегда представлялись неопрятными и грязными (наверное, потому что болотные). А эта такая... нежная, хотя и угловатая. А эти ключицы... а эти пальцы... Невероятно хороша И цвета, и вся композиция - загляденье!

Спасибо, ну она ж болотная, эти посимпатичнее и к людям не так аграссивны. А вот домашняя - это жуть, конечно...

Да ужас, если погуглить кучу всего можно узнать. Кстати, они выживают домовых из дома. Кикимора - типа анти-домовой, другими словами - гоблин

Забавно Вообще, сказочный мир иногда радует такими вот "второстепенными" персонажамию

Awesome art! I have similliar style. How did you do the dress? You need a sewing skills and machine to do something like that ?

Thanks, love your art! I glue everything working with fabric the exact way I work with clay. Just put some fabric to your figure, then glue or sew something if you need too, but I don't use patterns or anything like that

I love how well the gesture is done. How did you make any of your work look so fluid? Most people that do anything beyond paper they make everything so stiff and lifeless.

Thank you I don't know, maybe it's practice

Wow you picked it up well then. Must of had some super constructive practice.

On paper you have to ignore all details to work on the flow of movement and perspective of a figure first to get a dynamic feel of life to a figure, then you add the proportions and details.  

Thought it would be harder to pull off on actual people building but you got magic hands. lol

Well I work on rolling table and also it's good to create a small clay sculpture first. It's like a sketch in 3D. If the pose is too complex I use Poser program to adjust a figure

Well in Russian folklore she is a sort of a swamp spirit. Some of them are dangerous though, but not this one. "Kiki" means long ears by the way
