Kelpies are why you don't ride horses you only just met #Monstertober #Monstertober2021
The Blue Men of the Minch or Storm Kelpies are blue-skinned men that inhabit the ocean between mainland Scotland and the northern Inner Hebrides. They conjure storms, sink ships & drown sailors and may be seen jumping in the water or sleeping below the surface. #FairyTaleTuesday
Kelpies are shapeshifting water spirits who lure people into lakes & drown them. The Scottish folktale "The Kelpie & the Ten Children" is a cautionary tale of children lured onto a beautiful horse's back, only for the horse to jump into a lake. #FairyTaleTuesday
@SuzytheSilkie Tysm for the tag & for hosting! I've been doing a mix of doing studies, commission work, taking a break & stepping out of my comfort zone to try new things! It's been fulfilling so far! How's your week been?
Btw, I love unicorns. Orthrus, nekomata & kelpies are awesome too. :D
Watery enchantment can help with Monday’s austerity. So here are some sea nymphs, beauties, kelpies, & mermaids who are part of the sea lore that Warwick Goble (1862-1943) loved to draw. 🧜♀️💙#MermaidMonday
Dreaming of cool things in the middle of this heatwave, so here's some kelpies in a chilly bog vibes 💀
Drew some Kelpies recently because @ZestyDoesThings commanded it. Inspiration was leafy sea dragons
Some speculate that myths about kelpies came from the irresistible sight of unicorns grazing in ponds and the average peasant's inability to swim - unicorns however would be quick to note that there are ponds in the deep woods that even sweltering weather wouldn't tempt them into
Weather's looking like ice cream weather tomorrow. Here's an A4 painting of #Falkirk behind the Kelpies, looking towards the ice cream shop. @VFalkirk @VisitFalkirk @CanalRiverTrust @scottishcanals #scottishcanals #art #nofilter #yellow #boats #Scotland #reflection #oilpainting
@RipleyJNick "Dead Remnants" - yeah, I'd totally dig wandering a ghostworld.
New WIP? No. Well, it'd be cool to see creatures like kelpies and cu siths (giant green dogs), but the flip side is Nuckelavee stomping your face.
Also, the king's an ass and would likely order me executed, so...
Creature Commission for @frogstaff based off of the Nucklavee and Kelpies.
Another commission done!

Another class read the start of 'Spellchasers: The Beginner's Guide to Curses', another book by @LariDonWriter, about Molly discovering the magic world. We had a lot of discussions about kelpies and potato farming, & Beth's little sister (who I inexplicably gave a cockney accent)
Thinking about @mstiefvater ‘s the Scorpio races again. Some sketches of the characters and of course, the kelpies :)
2. In #Scottish and #Celtic #Mythology, #Kelpies were #supernatural #horses of the empty #lakes and dark #lochs. They came to the surface, lured #children onto their back before returning to the #depths and drowning them. Occasionally they took #human form.
