Trolls lived for centuries, dwelling with livestock in mountains or forests. They were shapeshifters, taking the form of animals or tree trunks, and they despised Christianity.

These ghosts dwelled in hollow trees, gray, moldy, and terrifying. Their piercing screams, like a distorted goose’s cry, shone so brightly they lit the road’s sand. This is an illustration for a book about Swedish folklore I’m creating. #Folklore #GhostStories #Sweden

A folklore inspired illustration but not any particular story. A little bit of my Arthur Rackham influence shows through a little bit here. Also this image is a result of a mentorship I did with @illusdept.bsky.social a while back.

Illustration inspired by the Old Women in the Woods folklore story. Another old project of mine from my mentorship with @illusdept.bsky.social

In Swedish folklore, the gasten is a ghostly figure of those who died violently or were denied sacred burial. It roams at night, appearing as a headless body or glowing skeleton, or as an owl in the air. Found deep in forests or between farms, it haunts the dark. #Folklore #GhostStories #art

Just finished this one. I love how the big tree turned out. Bent and twisted is the recipe for trees. Hope you like it. This is the main illustration for chapter two in my secret book project. #procreate #folktro #vaesen #väsen #nordicfolklore #digitalart
