Inktober:Day#22 - The Blue Lady Here is another story with several varying iterations. I found one I was not so familiar with but have heard of the location. The Blue Lady legend has its origins in the first-half of the 19th century, when the area was being settled as a farming community. Supposedly, a farmer who lived on the north side of Proctor Road near Denton Road in Canton Michigan, discovered that his wife had been unfaithful. One night, in a drunken fit of anger, the farmer murdered his wife’s lover with an axe, which he then intended to use on his wife. However, she escaped on foot, carrying a lantern to light her way. She attempted to elude her wrathful husband by hiding under the bridge but the lantern light gave her away and he killed her. ••• ••• ••• #dopeblackart #artist #inktoberchallenge2020 #jlausfolklore #ghostart #ghoststories #ibispaintxart #digitalartbook #theblueladyghost #folkloreart (at 池田町) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGyWHlJBg-I/?igshid=kzy23livm0zm

#jlausfolklore #artober #inkdrawings D•18; D•19: Kuchisake-Onna (Japanese legend) Headless Nun Although these stories of these various prompts are regaled as "folklore" the brutal circumstances of these women's lives are no fairy tale. Nothing pretty about what they went through or what they did/do. https://www.instagram.com/p/CGlrtNTg6K3/?igshid=mir53mn3v3yl

Inktober:Day#19 - The Headless Nun Sister Marie Inconnu, a French missionary stationed at French Fort Cove, was the protector of a very valuable treasure. This treasure, it is said, was one that cost her life. Sister Marie Inconnu was beheaded by fellow settlers and her treasure was stolen. Legend says her treasure has never left French Fort Cove... nor has her head.� As the story goes, anyone who enters French Fort Cove in search of her fabled treasure is haunted by the ghost of the Headless Nun. Surviving an encounter with the Headless Nun is just the beginning, as she has been known to follow and haunt survivors until their last days. ••• ••• ••• #ibispaintxdrawing #jlausfolklore #ibispaint #dopeartwork #newschoolartist #artist #artchallenge2020 #art2020 #horrorart #headlessnun #creepyart #fanart #cartoonpinups #pinupcartoons #pinupart #horrorpinups (at 池田町) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGhuQFWhjz1/?igshid=az8k1b94ei6w

Inktober:Day#18- Kuchisake Onna Kuchisake Onna (Slit_Mouthed Woman) is a malevolent figure in Japanese lore. She's described as the malicious spirit, or onryō, of a woman, she partially covers her face with a mask or other item and carries some sort of sharp object, usually scissors. She's known as a modern Yokai. According to the legend, she asks potential victims if they think she is attractive. If they respond with "no", she will kill them with her weapon. If they say "yes", she will reveal that the corners of her mouth are sliced from ear to ear, and she will then repeat her question. If the individual responds with "no", she will kill them with her weapon, and if they say "yes", she will cut the corners of their mouth in such a way that resembles her own. ••• ••• ••• #ibispaintx #jlausfolklore #newschoolartist #dopeartwork #inktoberchallenge2020 #artchallenge #kuchisakeonna #horrorart #creepyart #artist #discoverpage #artpage #cartoonartist #comicbookartist #cartoonpinups (at 池田町) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGgtC33BDvA/?igshid=ffdfb4kxfhzh

#inktober2020 #jlausfolklore I'm a few days behind and feeling uninspired despite the very interesting prompts. That's on me, lol. I wanted this to be interesting...anyway, just keep swimming. 😉 Jorogumo~Day 13 The spider that becomes a 'woman' after 400 years.

Inktober:Day#15- Half Hanged Mary. Well before the Salem witch trials began, Mary was accused of witchcraft, taken to Boston and put on trial. She was acquitted, but evidently the locals didn't accept the verdict. They strung her up anyway. This was before they had invented the drop, which breaks your neck. So they just pretty much hoisted her up like a flag and left her up there all night to die. In the morning they came to cut down the corpse, and she was still alive. So if they thought she had supernatural powers they must've definitely believed after seeing that. Mary lived 11years after her attempted public execution. ••• ••• ••• #jlausfolklore #inktober2020 #inktober #comicartist #stylizedart #dopeartwork #witchart #halloweenart #halfhangedmary #artchallenge2020 #artist #newschoolartist #flatcolorart #pinupcartoons #cartoonpinups (at 池田町) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGXjU_EhM8Y/?igshid=12535qgi1586b
