Creatuanary 2025 Day 19, Nuckelavee "The nastiest of all the demons of Scotland's Northern Isles. Its breath breath was thought to wilt crops and sicken livestock, and the creature was held responsible for droughts and epidemics on land despite being predominantly a sea-dweller." -Kathrine Briggs

#inktober day 2! Kelpie - some horses aren’t what they seem.

Ok so I know I’m stretching here... but using my #goblinmarket illustration for #mabsdrawlloweenclub2019 day 18: #hauntedforest ! I’m sure goblins can haunt forests just as well as ghosties 🎃 👻 #scottishlore #celticlore #drawloween #drawloween2019 #mabsdrawlloweenclub #drawlloween #drawlloween2019 #spookyart #spookyartwork #spookyartist #darkarts #mythsandlegends #inthewoods #irishlore #halloweenartwork #halloweenartist #loreillustration #goblinillustration https://www.instagram.com/p/B30nVr1joeM/?igshid=156t5xa5p8bh6

#inktober day 8! The Cailleach. It’s said she made the mountains and streams.

#inktober day 9! The Glaistig; perhaps a woman, perhaps a goat, she’ll watch your cattle, or kill you if you disrespect.

#inktober day 7! Brownie - they’ll keep everything tidy, but only if you’re polite and keep quiet about it, and leave out some spare cream.

#inktober day 10, mermaids. I’m very tired and today was kinda crummy, so I’m not very happy with this one. Maybe tomorrow’s will be better!

#inktober day 11! Wil-o-the-wisp! Maybe faeries, or ghosts, or gas(t)ly phenomena? Best not follow them in any case.
