#dapplegrim

[dharmaart]

In 2021 I graduated from gymnasiet (swedish equivalent of upper secondary school / highschool) and my big final project was to illustrate the Norwegian folktale Dapplegrim. I've posted some of these illustrations allready but here's all of them together. You can read the folktale in The Project Gutenberg eBook of Popular Tales from the Norse or the summary on Wikipedia. If I revisited this now I would do a lot of things differently, but bear in mind that I made all of these illustrations when I was 18 and under a bit of a time crunch.

I loved your art inspired by the bäckahäst! Have you ever drawn other mythological horses, like kelpies?

Thank you! I haven't exactly, but I did illustrate a Norwegian fairytale as a project and that had a giant magical horse in it. The fairytale in question was Dapplegrim.

I made ten illustrations in total but these are the ones that feature the horse.

'Do you hear anything?'

'Yes, I hear an awful hissing and rustling up in the air,' said the lad; 'I think I'm getting afraid.'

'That's all the wild birds that fly through the wood. They are sent to stop us; but just cut a hole in the corn-sacks, and then they'll have so much to do with the corn, they'll forget us quite.'

(from the folktale Dapplegrim)

This is the first piece in a series of illustrations that I did to illustrate the Norwegian folktale Dapplegrim.
