In swedish folklore, the 'Skogsrå' or 'Skogsfrun' creature was a terrible being. At first sight you see a beatuiful woman waving at you, trying to get you further into the woods. Somehov it never matters how fast you run, she is always ahead, luring you deeper and deeper into the forest. Should you happen to see her back, you would know that you are lost. Her back consists of hollow, rotting wood. When you are deep enough to not find your way back out of the woods, she will leave you to starve.

she's creepy. . But well drawn. Her hair looks a tad stringy, but it's a styleistic thing, so no matter. 2

I've heard another tale about this. It's that she lures you far into the woods and then you'll se her back which is not of hollow rotting wood, but of bark. And you don't starve and die, you get turned into stone. But that's just what I've heard. Great work though. But I think the "hollowness" on the back could be improved, right now I think it looks as if someone ripped a huge piece of skin off her back.

I just love all those mysterious northern legends, being Russian myself. 12 I think you've illustrated the concept very well!

Riktigt bra...Jag får rysningar av stämningskänsla...Ser henne framför mig en dag i skogen...Gud va fin...

Läskiga klor... enligt min ringa mening skulle det sett mer "barkaktigt" ut om du inte ritat dit konturen av hennes andra bröst... det får henne att se mer ihålig ut.
Men det är ju din bild och inte min, så...
