Here are the images of my step-by-step process for my Baba Yaga background designs

The First image is a gray scale value study of Baba's hut.

Notice the animal leg, which is a key part of the folktale. The story goes that Baba Yaga flies in a mortar and pestle and lives in a hut with chicken legs.

The darker image is my final study for the hut. I used to blue hue to convey the mood of the scene.
