The Hangman of the Ceiba and the Weeping Saman
Inktober 2018 - Venezuelan Myths. Drawing number 14. In San Fernando, Apure, a man attempted to hang himself from a Ceiba tree, only to regret it in his final moments—but help came too late. Now, his restless spirit haunts the branches each night, crying out "Do I fall down, or not?" And terrifies those who come near.

"Under that root which turns into the direction of Niflheim is the spring Hvergelmir, and Níðhöggr gnaws the root from below." —Prose Edda, Gylfaginning 15 (Anthony Faulkes translation)
Earth Chan

Planet Earth as a feminine figure. The idea came from a popular challenge among artists from 2018. I liked the concept, so this is the line art of an improved version of the original I drew for the challenge.

Inktober 2018 - Venezuelan Myths. Drawing number 24. This is one of the most popular Venezuelan myths. A horrible spectre which can be spotted roaming through the plains. He is known as El Silbón (meaning the man who whistles), due to his most bizarre characteristic: he produces a chilling whistling sound, and if it's heard nearby it denotes that he is far away, and if on the contrary it is heard far away it's a signal that El Silbón is very near.
