I Spent 4 Years Illustrating Forgotten Creatures From Welsh Folklore (19 Pics)

Wow, beautiful work. I'd like to see that on a round badge. Or a mosaic on a round window

I watch too many cartoons with my 8 year old; I see a giant fart...

These are amazing! Cymru am byth!

Kelpie?

This one is the best!

Germans : "We got Krampus. Krampus ist very frightening." Welsh : "hold my whiskey."

Christmas demon! Krampus sibling!

If you do not understand what it is basically if you are visited by the Mary lwyd (lwyd is said a leed) you must sing with it if you loose it raids your kitchen if you win it leaves (it also drinks all your beer if you loose)

Reminds me of the evil things in the dark crystal

The Mari Lloyd is still a tradition in llangynwyd where it started a rams head on a stick decorated and taken around mostly to the pubs it's a bit freaky but the school kids near by make them as well and everyone Sean's to live it . Tbh I'd never even heard about it till I moved here .

in theory, a dementor

Soooo Vampire death?

This is my favourite, although not because a lot of the others are more like nightmares (which actually, I love lol). The detail, and the expression, and the way you have incorporated branches and autumn leaves into the mane, it's both beautiful and dangerous looking, perfect! Your art is amazing, thank you for showing us all these creatures! I love mythology and monsters and I'd heard of several, including this, but not all of them, so you're doing a great job!

So beautiful and interesting.

Shroud fair? Dw’in dim one nabod..

This one reminds me of pictures from slavic mythical creatures I know

The Vicious Chicken of Bristol

Coackatrice or basilisk. I used to live near a village called Heol y cyw which was just round the corner from Rhiwceiliog. Or in other words, Chicken Street, near C**k Hill

T-Rex chicken

The Rooster from Helll??

Couldn’t find this one

We do like our dragons here huh

Gorgeous colours!

I'd still want to pet it

Still 99% cat, so you'll end up feeding it and caring for it.

The very first bobcat.

They will eat everything except the buttons off your shirt.

Are they tiny or something

Vey cool and very cool legend.

Welsh cousins of the hyenas from Lion King...

Is that a Pokemon??

I want one

Very good

Big Dawg!

This remingpds me of Lil Chauncey from Stars vs the forces of evil

Wow, looks remarkably like illustrations of some dinosaurs today. I love all of your drawings, I truly hope they get made into a book with descriptions to help preserve your heritage.
