Drawtober picks up again with some #worldbuilding from earlier this year! I watched a documentary on how butterfly migration takes multiple generations and came upon the idea of a sci-fi generation ship being similar.
Idk why all my worldbuilding ends up being post-apocalyptic 🤷♂️
Today's @FolkloreThurs prompt is the underground! Fairies in Irish folklore are called the Aos Sí or Daoine Sídhe, meaning "The People of the Mounds." They were said to live
beneath the tumuli and other old megalithic structures that dot the Irish landscape.
#FolkloreThursday
#Drawtober / #Worldbuilding month continues with...Elves! And Elfin. In my fantasy world, two types of elves exist: The True Elves of the continent of Nysalla, such as the Vatlvar, and the Elfin such as the Qebalai, who are descended from human-elf interbreeding centuries ago.
Yes, the Spider Spirits are as creepy as you think. The strands of their webs contain all of their knowledge and memories, and can be used to learn much about the world.
#Drawtober / #Worldtober /#WhateverThisIs Continues! Better late than never.
Today's subject is the Grystlvar, a strange collection of statues that dot the main continent in my fantasy world.
Today's @FolkloreThurs prompt is elders!
Naturally, I had to do the Banshee, who in many tales appears as an elderly woman, washing the clothes of the person who will die.
They have a spooky reputation, but in stories they tend to just foretell death, as opposed to causing it.
I was tagged by @aTiredFox to point out 3 recurring themes in my work so:
-Creepy forests
-Folklore/Historical characters/settings
-Witches
I’m gonna tag uhh @rhincodrawn @102gecs @vexedcer and @AsheIllustrates
Today’s #FolkloreThursday theme is Harvests!
Lady Midday, or Poludnitsa, is a slavic demon associated with heatstroke. She appears before workers in fields, asks them riddles, and chops off their heads/drives them insane. Typical gal things.
@FolkloreThurs
Today’s #FolkloreThursday prompt is Wild people!
In folklore, elves and fairy-like beings tends to be wild, capricious beings. In Norse Mythology, the Ljósálfar, or Light Elves, live in Álfheimr, and are “fairer than the sun”

Today's @FolkloreThurs theme is Rivers and Wells! River hags are a common theme in English folklore, with figures such as Peg Powler and Jenny Greenteeth acting as bogeyman-figures who would drown children who came too close to the riverbank.
