The Kelpie ~ Art By Reddust

Beware Of This Supernatural Creature

"Take care down by the water. There is a dangerous creature that roams the lonely lochs and rivers of Scotland. A conniving beast, it lures its unsuspecting victims to the water only to mercilessly drown them."

I am creating a coloring book for Scotfest held here in Oklahoma. I am helping setup the Kids Glean and part of activities are learning about the culture of Scotland.

The Kelpie can cry like a man or women in trouble, luring people down into the water to drawn them!

The Kelpie

some_text A link to My Blog

Sort:  

Can it survive outside the water? Looks too dangerous. But I love the name you have given to it.

They are shape shifters taking the form that is most attractive to their victims. I think their original shape is that of a horse. Some historians argue that a kelpies are not aquatic but all the myths I've read is this mythical beast resides in water. It also has control over the weather, if you piss one off it can call in a storm and flood your village. It kind of reminds me of the Asian Naga, which looks like a snake but can take the form of a human. Both supernatural beings are easy to anger and vindictive in nature with supernatural powers. Although the Nagas can be wonderful beings, protecting the Teachings of The Buddha and protected the Buddha when he meditated under the Bodhi Tree. The kelpie comes from the fairy worlds in Scottish mythology

We Indian are very familiar to the tales of the Nagas. Even we have a festival for them, it is called "Naagpanchmi" on this day it brings good fortune to see the snakes and feed them milk.

wow dear this is amazing, you have such a great talent, i love your works , wish i can drow like this one.

@yassinof, you can draw this if you want. Drawing skills are like any skill set, it takes time and practice. Thank you!

Aww! To be so conniving he is quite a beauty. Looks like a cross between a unicorn and a mermaid. lol! I am a pisces, so naturally I loved the images of the dual fishes. Great idea for coloring books. You could tell your story in one coloring book.

This looks like a Capricorn as well, I will be telling a little story in the book to help children understand Scottish mythology! Thank you @Innerstellar

Very true! That is a very awesome and thoughtful idea.

Scotland has many mythology animals as the unicorn as their national animal, great drawing. Regards

The land of Scotland and it's people are full of old myths and mysteries. I hope to visit the highlands someday <3 thank you @dim753

Yeah and ireland too. Regards

@reddust, It's amazing arty work using talented skills. I've never seen these creature. Is it fiction I think.

The Kelpie is part of Scottish mythology, probably a teaching story to help children understand how dangerous the water is and take care not to wander to far from their home on their own.

I've seen mythology animals from Greece historical stories. Haven't found Scotland stories yet. Anyways amazing drawing work @reddust.

Every old culture has myths of mythical creatures, they are teaching stories or maybe they are real. I have never met a mythical being. I'd probably pee my pants in fear if I saw one.

always I talk you, you are absolutely amazing your draw are so good you are so talent ♥

Lakes where crocodile is the most dangerous creature that threatens humans and animals alike
wonderful drawing

a coloring book for Scotfest. Sound both entertaining and educational for children. Thanks so much @reddust.

I am looking forward to the event. I love listening to the Scottish bagpipes play and watch the children dance in their Scottish regalia <3

Is that a sea horse?

@papma, Kelpie adalah makhluk mitos yang tinggal di dekat air. Hal itu bisa mengubah bentuknya dengan bentuk manusia. Ia suka memancing manusia dengan menangis seperti manusia dalam masalah dan kemudian menenggelamkan korbannya.

Seperti di film ya...??

Anything having to do with water would scare me! I can't swim already so I'd be an easy drowning victim.

@snrm, I love the water, I can swim like a fish and would love to live in the water like a mermaid....hahaha

I could teach you how to swim...Plus I am not afraid of Kelpies or Nagas :p

Very beautiful art my friend,l like art

I am fine, I've been working all day on art so I guess you may be seeing my anti-social artistic side. I hope you are doing well @safrijals.

yes i think you again there is a problem

Explain in your language

Saya pikir anda lagi ada masalah

wow .. very nice artwork really my friend

Thank you @zubir01

You are welcome

Such an amazing piece of art.. It says a lot about nature.. I love it @reddust 👍 #art

This isn't really about nature, it's about mythological supernatural beings, the scary mean ones.

Oh that I see.. I'll do more to learn about this.. The world is full with mysteries @reddust

Looks like an royal old logo from 15th cantries great job

OMG, you are right, I took an image of a horse and put a fish tail on it and webbed feet instead of hooves. A lot of pictures are of horses or women when I researched the kelpie. I liked the ancient drawings of that depict a horse with a fish tail. Thank you @soufianechakrouf.

Pleasure my dear

High value artwork, keep on working friends
