Jéan, the charming Jester !

Design inspired by an adorable construction from Romania.

To celebrate my 100th post on Instagram, I decided to do something a little special... 😇

These are my four original characters: Luceafarul, Zbuartorul, Avram Salcie and Hyperion. Most of them were inspired by Romanian folktales and mythology.

They are all a part of a future series that I'm creating called "Lost Age"

The first one is inspired by one of his many names "The lover between the stars".

The iele appear sometimes with bodies, at other times only as immaterial spirits. They are young and beautiful, voluptuous immortals, their frenzy causing delirium in onlookers, and with bad tempers, but not being necessarily evil. They come in groups of three or seven. This version is mostly found in Oltenia, were three Iele are considered the daughters of Alexander the Great, called Catrina, Zalina and Marina.

The iele are also believed to be agents of revenge for God or of the Devil, having the right to avenge in the name of their employers. When they are called upon to act, they hound their victims into the center of their dance, until they die in a furor of madness or torment. In this hypostasis, the Iele are similar to the Ancient Greek Erinyes and the Roman Furies.
