Artist's Comments

Go to him if you want to cross the river, he'll be happy for some company. But don't trust his words, and don't listen to his violin. If you do, the water lilys will be colored by your blood...

Note: He should be holding his violin, but I can't draw it in Paint ^^; I had to settle with a bleeding flower... And he doesn't have a name yet. ^^; Can hardly name him after the flowers he loves so much...

Insperation: Swedish folklore and Nightwish's "Moondance"

Wow----this has to be one of the most original nightmaren I've ever seen. ^_^ Very, very nice. I love the tie-in with Swedish folklore...folklore is such a wonderful thing to get inspiration from. Mystic and haunting. I think I'm gonna have nightmares about this guy tonight.

Good!

:D Thank you! I've always loved Swedish folklore... Heh, I am a Swede ^.^ *gives Avis earplugs* To make sure he doesn't make you drown...

Swedish Maren: And when am I going to get a name?

O.O Look at the time! *runs*

S.M.: -_-;

Woah, I really like this one - like Avis said, it's very original and is believable - not to mention quite scary. I like how the flower on his costume is placed on his heart... dunno if that was intentional but I noticed if it was. ;)

May I draw him? I mean, I'm just asking permission here so that if I get the inspiration I can... I really like him. He's... compelling.

Honk if you like shonen-ai!
:iconanimejosse:
You know, I didn't notice that before - originally it was placed in the middle. It changed itself when I drew this...

And of course you may draw him! He's one of my favourites of the bunch I created... it's just I have problem drawing him since I can't draw anyone who's compelling ^^;

Ooh, this folklore intrigues me... what folk story is this nightmaren based on?

Me, in any kind of club?

Not as much story as a popular creature in our folklore, there's several about "Näcken" (don't think he has a english name...). If you don't mind waiting until the weekend, I could try to summerise what I know about him :) (Need to get prepared for a large test...)
