Last day of #folktember2026 🥳

This great being is named Trǫll by the village, as they do not know exactly what it is nor it's purpose here. Yet, it is not aggressive towards the villagers, so they let it be. Although, sometimes it'll inadvertently block the path through the woods. 🌳🍁

Tall trees populate these darkening woods, though it does not seem to scare the young traveller who has decided to walk the trodden path through the woods.
A great beast lies atop the traveller's trail. Politely, the traveller is asking it to shift over a bit.
The sleepy beast regards them with one giant looming eye, two smaller eyes on each side of a large head, horns curling magestically above it. It's long muzzle smelling the traveller as they walk past.
Long fluffy ears flick, listening, the jingling of its earrings a faint sound.
Front paws with long talons block the way, as the rest of its cloven body disappears into ththe darkness of the woods.

Prompt number 6, Witch's Cottge. #folktember2026
What better way to travel than via giant snail?
This witch, definitely a maximalist! 🐌

A giant snail with a shell covered by a thatched roof.
On it, several windows of different shapes and sizes. Different styles of bunting and even a washing line hung between 2 windows.
The snail wears some kind of armour and a set of reins hangs from them. There is also a wind chime, a balcony and a weather vane. A very busy looking snail!

Prompt 5, 'Naiad'

I've named her Gemynd, it means memory. As pearls of thought drop like wishes into the waters, she keeps them safe until the creator returns for them at the end of their life. So that they may dwell on the life they had, or else, start again.

An aquatic creature with large dark eyes, long thin arms outstretched to catch a falling pearl.
2 tusk like extensions from her face and a trail of spiked fins grace her head and down her back.
On her hips, out flows the top part of a jellyfish, from underneath out comes a strong tail, with a hooked barb on the end.
In her other hand, she holdholds another barb, fashioned into a mysterious large needle-like tool.

This kind of sacred landmark is for those who are grieving. Not just about their lost ones, but for the end of times. Come to the Mourner on the Hill when you wish to be guided through grief; leave a candle, throw a treasured possession into the water, turn away and don't look back.

A large statue of a fairy, standing tall and bowing her head. On top of the hill she stands within a small pool of healing waters.
A shrine stands before her, a single candle lit.
Two figures, tiny in comparison, begin walking towards her, hand in hand.
She has two thin horns and the long beak of a bird. Her wings resemble that of a moth. Her hands held in her lap before her as her long robes fall into the water beneath.

It's #folktember2026 prompt 3, 'Fire Serpent' 🔥🐍
This piece is inspired by Loki and the idea that he is the fire that lights when lightnings hits a tree. 🌳

A long nosed snake facing upwards and coiling downwards. His belly has a basket woven texture inspired by traditional nordic knotwork.
He is wreathed in fire. By his mouth, lightning strikes.
An oak leaf sits behind the snake as this is the tree most associated with lightning.

#folktember2026 prompt 2! Wishing Well 🪄

I have yet to give this creature a name and lore - but I think the mystery of it is exactly what allows it to grant wishes! Try to understand it, and it shall vanish. ✨️🐋

#illustration #creatureart

A girl at the well stares down after the coin she's just wished upon. From below, a leviathan of smooth skin and spiralling patterns looks above towards the girl with its 9 eyes. Long feelers by its beaked nose, 2 sets of fins on the face and 2 large flippers. The rest of the creature cannot be seen, its immensity larger than the page.

I love filling my sketchbook with these prompts and I'm trying to use my practice to get more comfortable with product design.
