This picture shows battle between Krsnik and Shtriga - legendary shapeshifting supernatural beigns of Istrian Folklore (Croatia). They are beginning a fight on the crossroad; Krsnik represents good, and he is shapeshifting into a dog, with powerful spell. The many Shtrigas are charging at him from the sky (witches) and they are turning into a black cats. In fact those beigns are during the day ordinary men ad women. During the night they are fighting their secret wars...

Done for domestic Festival of myths and Legends of Istria (taking place at the beginning of August 2008 at Pican, Istria, Croatia), as a visual for poster, brochure, web site etc.

I experimented a lot in this piece, using many software techniques, but main role here played Zbrush and Photoshop.

Original file is 4500 x 4500, so lots of work and details...
