Sketchbook: the washing women

Another strange bit of morbid folklore for today: the Washing Women are seen around secluded bodies of water. They are the ghosts of mothers who die in childbirth. The story goes that for seven years they have to wash the clothes of those who are about to die before they can pass on.

On a tangent, I found an old set of blending stubs today. I have mixed feelings about the results, but overall it was pretty fun to smooth things out so fast. I'll have to play around with it a little more though.
