Tag As FavoriteComment		A kelpie is a creature from scottish/swedish legends. It lives preferrably in lakes. It's a water sprite wich can take the shape of a beautiful young horse wearing a golden bridle. A weary traveller will try to fide the horse and then it's true nature shows: The Kelpie will run into the water and drown it's rider. He! Kelpies need to eat too! Done in black ink and watercolous. Thanks to the inhabitants of #dutchelfwood and #sidekicks for the helpful advice!

If you have any ideas for other mythical horses I've not done yet please let me know!
