Do not feed or stroke the horses. They can bite!
Returning to my theme of folkloric horses who eat people with this blue black calligraphy ink, gouache, and pencil on brown paper piece.

“It is the first day of November and so, today, someone will die.”
Happy (belated) Scorpio Races day!!! 🐴🩸
[Image ID: A digital drawing of Sean from The Scorpio Races novel. He is riding a panicked horse and is holding a clump of berries towards the horse's nostrils. Choppy waves crash around them. The drawing is mostly black and white except the red berries and the horse's red eye. End ID]

I was listening to a audible book at work today, the scorpio races by Maggie Stiefvater and I had a huge inspiration to draw the piebald mare, skata. I'm tempted to draw cashy as a capaill uisce. Maybe someday.

“The sky and the sand and the sea and Corr.”
My yearly tradition of drawing water horses! This is my version of Corr. I went for a more monstrous look this year and I am quite proud of it! (You can see last years version on my Instagram @sokatmatt_art and old capail uisce drawings by scrolling through my shit storm feed)
Super excited about the way this came out, especially the lighting. Expect more fanart in the future!
Anyways! Please do not repost my art without permission ❤️

Do you support artists on other platforms?
I've dabbled with supporting artists on ko-fi as well as patr*on. I never subscribe for long because it's not always financially feasible, but I love getting exclusive art when I can.
Recently, I joined @llstarcasterll's patr*on for this gorgeous exclusive postcard inspired by The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater. Aside from The Raven Cycle, this is my favorite Stiefvater book. I make a point to reread it every November.

In traditional folklore, capail uisce can sometimes turn into handsome young men who woo human women. I feel like there could be some kind of parallel between women leaving Thisby for the mainland/ a man from the mainland and the idea of a shapeshifting water horse seducing women in human form to eat her or break her heart (similar to a selkie.)
