"The betrayal was bigger than she could bare. The envy and loathing of the tribe, the misbelief of the father, the unfair sentence. Jaco would have none of it, not against one so undeserving of that horrific end. She would take the young warrior as a gift, fix her broken body with the help of all the creatures she touched with her reflection. The waters shall be her air, her sustenance, her home. And there, forevermore, she shall be queen." Iara is a very well known character of the Brazilian folklore, ou version of an enchanting mermaid luring young men to their deaths in the river. You can know a little bit about her in my website (link in bio) #iara #folklore #legends #brazilianlegends #waterspirits #fantasyart #visualstorytelling #moonmermaid #watergoddess (at Floresta Amazônica) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMAZQRrga7H/?igshid=vie6ygg8yuqs

Have you heard of Curupira before? I grew up hearing stories about a short man with fiery hair and backwards feet, who tricked poachers, hunters and arsonists into getting lost deep in the jungle by confusing them with his inverted foot prints and a shrill whistling that eventually made people insane. He is one of the most known characters in Brazilian folklore, along with Caipora, Iara and Boitatá. Check my website (link in bio) to know him better! In the next weeks I'll be posting about the three other characters I mentioned above ;) #mythsandlegends #mythologyart #brazilianfolklore #folclorebrasileiro #visualartwork #characterartwork #justdraw #dailysketching #characterportrait #doitfortheprocess #forestspirit #naturespirit #artprocess #fairytaleart #fairytaleillustration #forestcreatures #curupira https://www.instagram.com/p/CLpJkOnAbiv/?igshid=1ptmeoxgcausl
