Alkonost [collab] by LualaDy on DeviantArt

Watercolour in on paper, A5

Collab with Sieskja (sketch)

She makes amazingly beautiful sounds, and those who hear these sounds forget everything they know and want nothing more ever again. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkonost)

I asked Sieskja a harpy and she gave me a chicken

A Russian chicken!!!

Soooo, what do you think?

Part of a series of 8 illustrations on legendary creatures.
Here are the ones already completed:

The King of the Cats [collab]

Lovely art, the creature is reminiscent to a creature known as the Buraq, but that creature is more like a centaur.

there are many different mentions of birds with human heads throughout mythology worldwide.

This is awesome! The first thing I saw is how the moonlight shines so bright, it really draws you in. I like how each piece in this series has its own unique colour scheme and personality but this one might be my new favourite! So many cool little details, I like the crown and the way the salt works in this reminds me of eyes peering through the darkness to catch a glimpse, attracted by the wonderful sound.
Great work guys!
