Some OC stuff.

Stikini kidnaps a child.

Stikini, from Seminole myth. Witches that transform into giant owls. By day they resemble people, but at night they vomit up their internal organs and hang them in a tree, to become these owl monsters that feed on human hearts

Stikini

Initially, the Stikini were believed to be evil witches who transformed themselves into undead giant owl-like monsters. Technically dead but constantly reanimated, they could spend their nights seeking human hearts to consume. Hearing the terrifying cry of a Stikini is an omen of impending death.

Many Native Americans who know the Stikini stories avoid mentioning this bizarre creature openly. Usually, only certain medicine people tell about the Stikini without putting someone at risk of turning into it...

Now available in my gumroad store is a PDF collecting all my pieces for the Mythic May challenge. Get the full pics in high res without my pesky handle cluttering up the composition!

It was a super fun challenge, and I learned about a whole bunch of legendary creatures I’ve never heard of before. As an added challenge, I forced myself to draw everything in procreate on my ipad. Here are just a few of the highlights~

Stikini

In ancient folklore of the Seminole Indians of Oklahoma in the United States, there is a vampire-like creature called a stikini ("man owl"). Likewise, terrifying Stikini legends are widespread among the Creek people.

Initially, the Stikini were believed to be evil witches who transformed themselves into undead giant owl-like monsters. Technically dead but constantly reanimated, they could spend their nights seeking human hearts to consume. Hearing the terrifying cry of a Stikini is an omen of impending death.
