Автор: RIDDICK | Author: Malaya de Guzman-Terrenal Website: WIP theme: Image Title: 2D-Lola Basyang Copyrights Owner: The Severino Reyes (Lola Basyang) Publishing Corporation Software Used in Creation of Image: Photoshop CS3
Brief Description of Image: Lola Basyang (Grandma Basyang) was storyteller in the Philippines. Her Stories were first published in a magazine as a filler. The actual writer was a man named Severino Reyes who only used the pen name "Lola Basyang" because he thought it was unethical for him to put his real name in since he was editor-in-chief. The first story published was called "Periking's Flute". Soon though people requested for more stories from Lola Basyang.
There was an actual Lola Basyang who lived in Quiapo, Manila at the time who had inspired Severino Reyes. The old lady named Dona Gervasia Guzman de Zamora was revered by the children and would and gather around her to listen enthusiastically to her most fascinating stories.
The Stories of Lola Basyang has been adapted to radio, movies and TV series and prints of all her stories are still available.
Inspiration came when I saw one of my old storybooks. I enjoyed fairystories and grew up listening to them as my mum and my grandma used to tell me. Lola Basyang may not have the prettiness of youth but she doesn't fail to create an impression on the young because she can take children on a magical journey with her words. She maybe old and frail but it adds to her charm that even up until today, people still tell her stories, adapt them to tv, radio, comics and movies and the like. |

Brief Description of Image: Hutsuls are an ethno-cultural group of Ukrainian highlanders who for centuries have inhabited the Carpathian Mountains, mainly in Ukraine, but also in the northern extremity of Romania, as well as in Slovakia and Poland. This is an image of young girl in folk costume which is resting under the tree. I wanted to reproduce the atmosphere of warm summer day in Carpathian Mountains. |

Brief Description of Image: Samodivi are female magical beings in Bulgarian (and probably other Slavic) mythology that inhabit the realms of the mountains, particularly mountain streams, lakes, etc. They are said to be of great beauty and charisma. However, while they take care of mountain creatures, they are usually hostile to humans that have been unfortunate enough to loose their way and chance upon them.
A Samodiva can do a lot of harm (though she is capable of good deeds if she is willing to perform them) ranging from misleading strangers through enchanting them to change aspects of their personality to luring them into some far-away isolated forest corner and taking their eyes.
Samodivi also have the ability to control mountain streams, milk the moon and subdue to their will a fierce dragon-like creature that does a lot of harm to ordinary villagers. It is said that once he meets them, the only way for a man to save himself is if he is charming enough and skilful enough to engage the samodivi into dancing a traditional ancient folk dance all night long while he plays a flute-like instrument to them.
Samodivi take an important place in the oral folklore tradition.They are characters of numerous story because they contain within themselves qualities both bad (mischief, slyness, deception, lust , harm) and good (beauty, care for their home, the mountain, the strength and temperance needed to subdue horrifying beasts and strong will and determination). Thus they are an allegory of the multi-faceted human soul. |

Brief Description of Image: Пеппи ДлинныйЧулок - мой любимый сказочный персонаж, воплощение дерзости и свободы, лично мне она помогает не так серьезно относиться к "серьезностям" взрослой жизни и помнить, как, взрослея, не стареть душой (Peppy Long-Sock is my favourite character, she is a personification of freedom and latitude to me, she helps me not to be so loyal to the "seriousness" of adult life and to remember how to remain a child while growing up) |

Brief Description of Image: I wanted to tackle a character with some kind of tragedy behind her and really enjoyed the story behind Persephone. Originally I was going with the idea of going very dark with a extremely scary version of her with half her face covered but decided that I would would instead remain faithful to the original character. Persephone never accepted the reality that she had to be the queen of the underworld thanks to Hades so she was noted as becoming extremely cruel toward him(obviously) and everyone else around her so I wanted to depict her as still beautiful but clearly turned darker...colder. I was looking at images of vampires thinking her skin would be pretty white since she is forced to live underground almost all year. In the end I wanted to depict her as someone that commanded respect and also show that only a tiny fraction of a soul was left in her. This is a Persephone that has spent many years in the underworld. |

Brief Description of Image: Танцующая цыганка с бубном. Цыгане — собирательное название около 80 этнических групп, объединённых общностью происхождения и признанием «цыганского закона». Единого самоназвания нет, хотя последнее время в качестве такового предлагается термин Romanies, то есть «ромоподобные». |

Brief Description of Image: Хотя Медуза Горгона в общем персонаж отрицательный, мне всегда казалось что ее незавидная участь должна вызывать также жалость и сочувствие. Ведь даже если бы она и захотела сблизиться с людьми, это для нее невозможно, ведь от ее взгляда любой превратится в камень, а невозможно держать глаза вечно закрытыми. поэтому я решила отобразить именно эту сторону истории... печальная одинокая Медуза, обнимающая мужчину, с которым она хотела бы быть, но которого она превратила в камень. |

Brief Description of Image: She is said to be the sometimes spelled Mariang Makiling, in Philippine Mythology, is a diwata or lambana (fairy or forest nymph) associated with Mount Makiling in Laguna, Philippines. She is the most widely known diwata in Philippine Mythology. Similar to Maria Sinukuan of Pampanga's Mount Arayat and Maria Cacao of Cebu's Mount Lantoy, Maria Makiling is a guardian of the mountain, responsible for protecting its bounty and thus, is also a benefactor for the townspeople who depend on the mountain's resources. In addition to being a guardian of the mountain, some legends also identify Laguna de Bay - and the fish caught from it - as part of her domain. It is often said that Mount Makiling resembles the profile of a woman, said to be Maria herself. This phenomenon is described as true from several different perspectives, so there is no single location associated with this claim. The mountain's various peaks are said to be Maria's face and two breasts, respectively, and her hair cascades downwards a gentle slope away from her body. |

Brief Description of Image: Кицунэ – загадочные, необычные, и весьма обаятельные создания. Неотъемлемые персонажи японского фольклора и литературы, они обладают чертами сразу множества волшебных существ. Если выделить три основных параллели в западной культуре – это сочетание качеств эльфа-фейри, оборотня, и вампира. Они могут выступать как носителями незамутненного зла, так и быть посланниками божественных сил. Но предпочитают романтические приключения разной степени серьезности, или просто шутки и проказы по отношению к человеческим существам – не гнушаясь порой, однако, и вампиризма. А порой их истории наполнены трагической сентиментальностью, столь любимой японцами. Их покровительницей является богиня Инари, в храмах которой непременно присутствуют изваяния лисиц. Отношение японцев к кицунэ очень похоже на отношение ирландцев к своим фэйри – смесь уважения, опаски, и симпатии. И они определенно выделяются среди прочих окабэ, то есть японских волшебных существ. Даже к тануки, довольно похожим на кицунэ оборотням-барсукам, отношение не столь глубокое. А оборотни-кошки у японцев обычно специализируются на чистом вампиризме, мало интересуясь иными сторонами общения с человечеством.
Как оборотни, кицунэ способны менять формы человека и животного. Однако они не привязаны к фазам луны, и способны на куда более глубокие трансформации нежели обычные оборотни. Если в форме лисы человеку трудно понять, та же эта форма или нет – то человеческий облик лиса может принимать различный. Более того, по некоторым легендам, кицунэ способны при необходимости менять пол и возраст – представая то юной девушкой, то седым старцем. Но принимать облик человеческого существа молодой кицунэ способен лишь с 50-100 лет. Как вампиры, кицунэ порой пьют человеческую кровь, и убивают людей. Этим же, впрочем, грешат и фейри-эльфы – причем, как правило, жесткие меры те и другие принимают в порядке мести за намеренную или случайную обиду. Хотя порой занимаются этим и, что называется, из любви к искусству. Порой, однако, лисы ограничиваются энергетическим вампиризмом - питаясь жизненными силами окружающих.
Магические способности кицунэ растут по мере взросления и обретения новых уровней в иерархии. Если возможности однохвостого молодого кицунэ весьма ограничены, то затем они приобретают возможности мощного гипноза, создания сложных иллюзий и целых иллюзорных пространств. С помощью своих волшебных жемчужин, кицунэ способны защищаться огнем и молниями. Со временем приобретаются умения летать, становиться невидимым и принимать любые формы. Высшие кицунэ обладают властью над пространством и временем, способны принимать волшебные формы – драконов, гигантских деревьев до неба, второй луны в небе; умеют наводить безумие на людей и массово подчинять их своей воле. |
