Day 10. Prompt Was Ghost/phantom. I Like Drawing Ghosts And Wraiths. My Sketchbooks Are Full Of Them,

Day 10. Prompt was ghost/phantom. I like drawing ghosts and wraiths. My sketchbooks are full of them, funny enough. 

Brown paper, ink, white paint, so forth and so on. 

The eighth one. Today’s prompt was dullahan/headless horseman. I am not feeling particularly revolutionary with this one, but I am working on my brush painting, so there you go. I think this is just the standard Headless Horseman, out to ruin the evenings of camping teenagers and hikers out after sunset.

Brown paper. Ink. That’s how we’re rolling lately. 

Day 18, drawn on the day and posted the next because I am feeling awful and I didn’t get it done before Stupid o’Clock. Today’s prompt was Inuit. This is a Greenland tupilaq. Here is the wiki article on it. 

I wanted to do this one kind of from the very beginning, partly because my sketchbook is full of stupid and angry looking little tupilaq characters designed to look more like the traditional carvings than a shamble of hair and bone and sinew. 

It’s all ink wash with some fountain pen. All of it. 

Day 20. Today's prompt was Southeast Asian mythology. This one is a bit of a stretch, and as far as I know and can find, it doesn't directly correspond to any established mythology. Allow me to explain myself.

One of my mother's dear friends is from the Philippines. Now, she told the story once of 'black water', water with a malicious spirit, that purposefully drowns people. It can appear as whirlpools and waterspouts, or as perfectly still black pools and lagoons. This friend believes very really and truly in this idea of 'black water', and has been known to avoid any and all water phenomena associated with it. I can't find a specific term for this. I've tried. If someone else has heard of it, please tell me, because I find it really interesting.

All inks all the time.  

Weirdo is celebrating and so am I. Thank you, people who have decided this blog is worth their time.
