El Adze ewe: brujería, transformación y misterio en África Occidental

[lukaka-arte]

The adze is a vampiric spirit from the Ewe folklore of West Africa (present in Ghana, Togo, and Benin). It disguises itself as a firefly at night to enter houses and suck the blood and vital energy of people, especially children.

Altough her design is not as clever as other espers, I wanted her to have an outfit that reminded people of firefly inspired by modern african fashion. Specially the pattern present in almost every outfit I saw. She may be smiling sweetly at the camera when I drew her but it's because I wasn't sure how to make her fell like a Zoe Morgan (person of interest) while reveling her outfit (and also because I didn't like the first less-open designs)

drawing various ghosts and spirits from around the world #1: the Adze!

Pretty pleased with how it came out, but 👁️ might not have made the humanoid form human-like enough- 👁️ liked the idea of giving it firefly mandibles and wings. You could maybe say it’s in a stage where it isn’t fully in human shape? 👁️ don’t know much about the folklore it comes from but 👁️ think it’s really interesting

[decided 👁️ wanted to make some kind of little art series to practice drawing and 👁️ like spirits so 👁️ settled on this :3

This goes for any other ghosts/spirits 👁️‘ll be drawing; anyone seeing this who knows more about these guys than 🥩 feel free to give criticism (as long as you’re nice about it ofc) cuz 👁️’d be pleased with the chance to redraw any creatures more accurately]
