Giants being reincarnated into Spriggans. Interesting.
Maybe there is a way for Galehaut and others to persist after death...

My personal design for the Beast of Bodmin Moor, a legend from my homeland.
The Beast of Bodmin Moor is a creature locals reported seeing lurking the area and killing livestock. They claim the monster is a large cat-like animal with black fur. I added the red accents for fun. :)
As a Cousin Jack, the legends of Cornwall are something special to me and make me feel connected to my homeland which I hope see someday.
I hope my Meemee is proud of how much I try to keep these legends in my heart despite the fact she had to leave for America as a young adult.
Here's a portrait of my character Elowen, where I decided to draw her in the folk tale she's based off. A quick history for those who are interested: She's based off the character Princess Olwen/Elowen from the Cornish folk tale The Romance of Princess Olwen/Princess Elowen/Elowen and the Bramble Bush. The funny thing is that the tale started out as 'The Romance of Princess Olwen' in Cornish Saints and Sinners (1906) by J.H. Harris, which may have been inspired by Cornish folktales, but were not necessarily retellings. Despite this, Donald R. Rawe decided to make a retelling of Harris' story for his book Traditional Cornish Stories And Rhymes (1971), where he titled his retelling 'Princess Elowen'. Funnily enough, Elowen isn't even a traditional Cornish name, as it was first suggested as a Cornish girls' name by Christopher Bice in 1970, in his book Names for the Cornish. Bice took words from a Unified Cornish dictionary to use as girls' names, as there were not a lot of distinctly Cornish girls' names at the time. In 2013, we then get another retelling titled 'Elowen and the Bramble Bush' as part of the Mazed Tales project.
An animated series rooted in Cornwallβs oldest stories, told with care, grit, and respect for the land that shaped them
Droll is a six-part animated series based on Cornish folklore that the creators wants to be seen and not forgotten by anyone. The first episode will The Droll of the Mermaid where an fisherman finds a washed up mermaid who must get back to the ocean or else her husband will eat her children. But she is not what she seems to be.
While it had made its goal, it definitely needs more attention since it sounds and looks super beautiful. Iβm havenβt read into Cornish folklore, but now with this kickstarter campaign, I definitely want to read more about it now!
