Irish people; The faeries aren’t real
Irish people; No fucking way will I go in that faerie ring
The Kumiho is a shapeshifting creature of Korean legend. A nine tailed fox who has learnt to take human form, they typically transform into beautiful women to (literally) eat the hearts of unlucky young men.
There are many tales of shapeshifting, multi-tailed foxes (with nine being the desirable number) but what sets the Kumiho apart from the others is the source of their power. Each Kumiho is said to carry a bead, called a yeowoo guseul, which their power comes from. They are able to drain the energy of a human by inserting and retrieving the bead from a human’s month (under the guise of kissing).
This is a risky method - if a human steals and swallows the bead they can grain incredible knowledge.

My first post on Tumblr. Here is my Wolf Angel sketch inspired by biblical angels.
My art is not meant to be biblically accurate at all! Just for fun.
All my pirate sketches in one post.
Male Gorgon
I’ve tried multiple times to draw a male Gorgon, but I always add too many snakes, haha. Oh well, here’s the Gorgon anyways. His eyes are kinda creepy open, then again - you shouldn’t be looking a Gorgon in the eyes anyway 😅🐍

Sketches of Callisto and Arcos - AKA Ursa Major and Ursa Minor from Greek Myth. Fashion Design inspired by Xena, Warrior Princess.
"Xena, Warrior Princess" was a show made in 1995. Although this show primarily focused on the folktales from ancient Greece, it often took on a more modern fantasy look.
The costume design aimed to capture 'modern" mid 90's fashion blended with Greek,Celt, and Viking looks.
Not too much history on this one, mostly a Fashion Design Post.
Thanks for reading! 🐍💕
Here’s my rough sketch of Arachne, from the famous Greek Myth.
I am forever cursed to like things that nobody has made a fandom for, RIP all my passions wasted , anyway here's Ziemeļmeita telling Lāčplēsis to man the fuck up from the 1980s Lāčplēsis rock opera
But they were brothers.
I'm going back to my roots with this one because the Lāčplēsis rock opera never truly leaves my mind, THEY WE'RE BROTHERS not by blood but by choice! until the interferance of enemy forces and the influence of greed and guilt tore them apart, its literally tragic and on my mind all the time.
