This is a tale of princess who was turned into fearsome lindworm, and a prince who loved her when she was but words on a page...
This particular piece is an illustration for a little fairy tale I'm working on. ( Stay tuned for that)

"Would you still love me if I was a wyrm?"
In a loose (and bloody) retelling of the King Lindworm folktale set against the backdrop of 1980s Milwaukee, two people try to navigate their unorthodox romance while an arcane, snake-like infection afflicts, and starts to change, one of them.
I've started posting chapters of TAMW's draft on ao3 and Tapas! Will update every Saturday!
Here's a version of the 'cover' without the text:

Germanic dragon. How we feeling about those.
Germanic dragons (also called worms) are a type of European dragon originating from Germanic mythology, including Norse, Anglo-Saxon, and Continental Germany.
They are typically depicted as large venomous serpents, such as Wyrms and Lindworms, though later myths feature more similarities to typical western dragons.
Examples of Germanic dragons include but are not limited to:
Níðhöggr, the serpent from Norse Mythology that gnaws at the roots of Ygdrassil
J��rmungandr, the Midguard serpent and child of Loki
The dragon from Beowulf
Fáfnir, a dragon from Germanic legend, depicted in Norse mythology having been turned into a dragon by Andvari's cursed ring
(ID: The dragon illustrated by Arthur Rackham)
Germanic serpents breathing poison predates the ideas of them breathing fire, the dragon in Beowulf being one of the earliest examples of a fire breathing dragon.
They are often depicted on old runestones and churches.
(ID: A Lindworm depicted on the U 871 runestore in Uppland, Sweden)

Fantasy Mythology Mega-Post.
I've recently been posting a series of drawings from the series of folklore commissions I got to do back in 2021. These were intended to be a child-friendly version of specific creatures and characters from folklore as the commissions were created for a school.
For people who want to see the entire series in one go without having to trawl through my Tumblr, I'm putting them all here so they are all in one place.
Hope you like these!
