Todays folktember prompt was selkie. My take on it as a watercolour sketch:

Another folktember prompt. This sketch is of the unseelie queen. Maybe not weird enough? What do you think?
A red haired queen of the unseelie court.

Another folktember prompt. A rusalka which is a kind of Slavic naiad or nixie. Here the preliminary sketch I made in pencil, and the watercolour sketch in my new hot press sketchbook. Which do you like best?
Two rusalka sketches one in pencil and one in watercolour.

Look for the old wishing tree by the asters. Under the full moons of autumn it will give you as many wishes as you see leaves drop 🍂

This sketch kicked my ass! I started off with coloured pencil and that was taking ages even though it’s tiny. Switched to watercolour. Also never painted fire before. For the folktember prompt Hestia.

Thought I'd play around with #procreateart and do something for #folktember. I'm an absolute beginner but this is what I came up with for #whitestag

...Emerging from the forest, Bear and Bird finally saw the ruins that they had been searching for. It appeared that the Seat of Destiny was already occupied though... 😂

And an experiment for the folktember prompt shellcoat, with its a kind of Scottish critter who wears a coat of shells and likes to prank people by pretending to be drowning. Not sure I'm happy with how it turned out, but I'm encouraged enough to try this style again!

A pen and ink illustration of an annual ghost parade through the forest. A forest sprite, mouse, rabbit, bird and deer have all come out to watch the ghosts parade their pumpkin hats under a full moon. There are stars in the sky and trees and mushrooms surrounding the forest path.
