Nykken by Barrocco
Nykken is a mythological creature in Norway. They say he drowns people or kidnap young women as his wife. He is often depicted as something evil. He lives in ocean, lakes, waterfalls. In some versions he has a harp.
I wanted to give it a modern look, so made the girl of this century, lured and mystified by this strange man playing. They say Nykken can appear as a beautiful man. I still think his hair might be seaweed.

The black and white coloration looks great, especially that river! Nykken sounds scary but I love how you drew him! His myth sounds really interesting!
