The Kelpie is a shape shifting water spirit in Irish and Scottish legends, who most frequently appears out of water as a black horse-like creature that will drag unwary travelers down into the cold waters

In Jamaican folklore, the River Mumma is a Water spirit who protects the rivers. The fish are her children. It’s said that if you find her belongings—such as a gold comb or jewellery—on the river bank, you should leave them where they are, or else!

Monster Girl October Tarot day 23: Undine from the novella Undine as the King of Cups!

When the well of the kingdom is opened, the water spirit Undine returns to kill her former beloved by drowning him with her tears: an overwhelming image of the cups suit's emotional and water imagery that makes Undine a perfect king for the suit!

(One of my most time-crunch drawings of the month too; only a week left!)

Naiad 2024.03.22 I had this one as a wip for MONTHS so there's a disconnection in stylization with how I currently do/explore my art. I've never been one to fully hold on to a definitive style because I get bored and like to try stuff so lmao It's not any of the particular naiads because I really didn't think much of it at the time, but now I might actually want to :') too many ideas too little energy/time I really liked how it turned out (though I'm sure i couldve detailed more but got tired) and how I do continue to work with the golden texture that HAS been present in most of my digital pieces. Girl said she'd make that ps stamp and then never dropped it lol

Nokken/Nixie! Sigyn variant

Drew this on a whim, but I made another variant of my Myth! Sigyn design. Though this time I based this design variant off of a Nokken/Nixie which is a water spirit in Germanic folklore that lures travelers,woman,and children to their death by enchanting them with a fiddle(though they aren’t always hostile spirits in some tellings). Nokken are mainly male, but some sources said they can be female too(they are also shapeshifters and in some versions present themselves as a white horse as well).

I tried not to make her look too much like my main Myth!Sigyn design. Though both are aquatic based. When it comes to Nokken! Sigyn’s personality, however, she more hostile and cunningly manipulative.

When it comes to her relationship with Loki. The two of them met when Loki got lost in Sigyn's territory. Then Sigyn saw them and was like, " Hey, you're really pretty, and I see that you're lost. Do you want to chill in my bog and listen to my fiddle?"

Loki surprisingly agreed, and from there, the two began to frequently meet up falling in love in the process. That being said, Loki is the only one to have ever made it out of Sigyn's territory alive. 😬
