Here's #mermay No. 3: shark mermaid. I really like sharks, and I really like creepy fairies, so I wanted to try out a creepy sea fairy aesthetic here. I do like how the mermaid turned out, but I think I'll revise the background to be darker when I have time! #pencils #mermaid

Inktober day 14 and my favorite equine creature: Pegasus! What's not to like about a winged horse? Although we now think of winged horses as a species of magical creature, the original Greek myth is of one specific Pegasus, the son of the god Poseidon and Medusa. #inktober

Inktober, day 8: Hippocamp! This half horse, half fish sea creature belonged to the gods -- either Poseidon or Melqart, depending on if you're Greek/Roman or Phoenician -- and were associated with both fresh water and sea water. #inktober #mythology

Inktober day 4: velho! Witchcraft used to be a pretty normal aspect of ancient Finnish life, but of course magic can be used wrong. Finnish witches had to be prepared to fight off enemy velho. Spells or words of power would be sung or recited in verse! #inktober #folklore

This week's #monster of the week: the yuki-onna! The stories about her vary from place to place, but she is variously said to trick humans and freeze them to death, or to steal their vitality. In some versions, she also carries a child. #folklore #japanese #yokai
