In Chinese folklore people who are greedy in life become E Gui, ghosts that are always hungry, with mouths too small to satiate their hunger. Since I want a more naturalistic look for my interpretations I used some primates for inspiration in this piece.

The Nunda, aka the Mngwa, is a donkey sized man-eating big cat, from Tanzinia. It's owner, a Sultan, loved this cat so much that he allowed it to eat anything, 'even, so be it, a man'. In some stories, the Nunda turns on the Sultan.

Day 11: Selkie!

Probably gonna stop mythic may here. It’s been fun, but I’ve been inspired to draw some other things! Prompts like this are always great for getting out of a creative rut though. ❤️

Today is one of my favourite mythical creatures, the Selkie, for My mum told me stories of Selkies when I was young and my obsession was sealed. If you haven't watched Song of the Sea, do it, and Shirely Hughes book on Selkies is lovely.

'My mother in the fold of sheep,
Do not worry, do not weep,
I shall lend you my blood-red rag
For you to wear, for you to wear.'
The Útburður, newborns who are abandoned, that become ghosts, haunt their mothers and are the colour of their death swaddle.

I drew a weird little filth-eating ghost, so now that means I can finally sleep, right?

Day 9: E Gui

The saddest of ghosts. Hungry but can’t eat.

When I lived in China and HK, I was told varying tales of the E gui. An ever hungering ghost, born from the greed and gluttony of a human in life, with too small a mouth, distended belly, and sometimes even spewing fire.

This is the first I’ve heard of this creature, so I apologize if I’ve gotten anything wrong!
