#nachtkrabb

[wwyptt]

Through the dark magic of constrained composition I've done it -- 13 Unusual Beasts and Spirits, just in time for Halloween! Basically, most cultures' mythology break down like this: you've got weird lizards, sketchy dogs, loud birds, upsetting chimeras, the occasional hazardous horse, and an endless supply of lethal hunks/babes. Perhaps a theme for next year? Looking forward to it.

I’m planning on a series of drawings of mythological monsters, so I decided to start with one of my favorite ones, the Nachtkrabb. They’re giant raven-like creatures from the South Germany and Austria  folklore that abducts and eats children who sees them.
