Universus

So there it is, the entire collection - 31 days worth of ink drawings assembled on my floor, due largely  to the encouragement of my friends :)

Inktober #31!

Redcap
Unless you'd like your blood to be used to keep this murdering fiend's cap red, you'd best stay away from ruined castles between England and Scotland. Just saying.
[English folklore]

Inktober #30

Shirime
Some people like taking walks in the woods. Other people like scarring the former by gleefully surprising them with their naked eyeball butt.
[Japanese folklore....naturally]

Inktober #29

Melusine
If your beautiful wife, with a complicated past, asks you not to disturb her when she's taking a bath, you should take her seriously or risk her transforming into a dragon and flying away.

Inktober #28

Jenny Greenteeth
Don't stand to close to the river's edge kids, or this green-skinned wizened woman will pull you in.

Inktober #27

Fenrir
Son of Loki, feared by the gods and bound by the dwarven-forged Gleipnir, with a sword in his mouth. This monstrous wolf, that took Tyr's betraying hand, is destined to break free at Ragnarok and kill Odin.
[Norse mythology]

Inktober #26

Zahhāk
One Arabian interpretation of the this Iranian mythological figure, says that Zahhak, the son of an Arab ruler, was easily influenced by Ahriman (an evil spirit). After killing his own father and gorging himself on feasts, Zahhak granted Ahriman whatever he wanted - and what Ahriman wanted was to kiss Zahhak's shoulders. Snakes then sprang from where his lips had touched and they could not be removed. These snakes had to have a daily diet of human brains or they would turn on Zahhak himself.
[Iranian mythology]
