      I was gonna do one about baba yaga and how she eats kids that misbehave but i found one that i thought would be more fun to draw.

      “they say that if you put two mirrors in front of each other, you open a threshold for the devil.”

      This is a superstition in parts of Mexico and a few other places aparently.

      Here are some thumbnail ideas
      Top one has selfie person bottom ones only have 1
      I like the middle one and the right one no slefie. But because its the devil it might be funnier if include the selfie woman.

        @Aleksey I have that on my list of thumbnails to try and come up with something LOL. I think having the women in there is key. I also like the top row third one. I like the idea of the devil being big. Looking forward to how you pull it off. Mirrors are hard for me.

          @Chip-Valecek just google images! “Mirrors facing each other” and also lots of silly poses in the mirror.

          But yeah i like the third one the most. Maybe with a look of horror on the selfie person

                @Aleksey looking good so far. I can't wait to see how you handle all the mirrors. Definitely a tricking piece.

                          @Aleksey not too big but maybe take the line weight down on them so they look less pronounced and thinner. But they look good.

                                @Aleksey his face looked brighter in the flat version. Maybe pop up the highlights or lighten it a little? It looks great and awful at the same time. Awful in the sense of Ahhh! It's the Devil!!!! I love that he's dressed as a 1920's mobster. Classic
