Description

"The púka (Irish for spirit/ghost), pooka, phouka, phooka, phooca or púca is primarily a creature of Irish folklore. Considered to be bringers both of good and bad fortune, they could either help or hinder rural and marine communities. The creatures were said to be shape changers which could take the appearance of black horses, goats and rabbits. The púka has counterparts throughout the Celtic cultures of Northwest Europe. For instance in Welsh mythology it is named the pwca or pwwka and in Cornish the Bucca. In the Channel Islands, the pouque were said to be fairies who lived near ancient stones; in Guernésiais and Jèrriais a cromlech is referred to as a pouquelée or pouquelay(e), poulpiquet/polpegan are corresponding terms in Brittany."

These are digital/traditional media collaborations I did with my boyfriend :icongazzi-arts:
he came up with the idea and wanted to make a little púka based on ourselves. 
He took care of the traditional side, did the drawings and designed the characters. 
I took care of the digital part, I lineart and coloured them in photoshop.
