I’m really beginning to wonder if I could have written my Halloween Inktober list if i’d been drunk because I’m really wondering what in the name of the lords of causality possessed me to put the Kelpie in there.

Granted if you know the stories this is one of the most malevolent, dangerous and downright evil water spirit that Scottish Folklore ever created but visually someone is going to look at your picture and say… “it’s a horse”.

This is not helped by the fact that the horse is one of those animals I can’t draw without a minimum of five visual references in front of me.

Any way I think adding more teeth helped… a little bit.
