Description

Call of the Kelpie

 Across the seas I am calling, calling for you.

Who can resist my call? None at all.

Not men, not women, not children

They curse my name and shun the water,

But they all fall for me, when I call

And now they rest beneath the waves.

 

Across the vast oceans I am coming, coming for you.

I rise from the water, proudly I stand

Mane dripping an ominous note.

Then gallop away over the sand,

Seaweed flying in my wake.

Nowhere are you safe from me,

Not by land, sea, or boat.

This is the first manip that I'm actually really happy with.
I've always been intrigued by the Kelpie. A lot of pictures have them a grotesque creatures which might be their true form. But I decided to to an irresistibly alluring Kelpie.

Yours is certainly more beautiful than mine! Maybe mine just takes longer to look pretty... or doesn't care about looking pretty.

Haha! In that case, mine would mock yours behind its back.
"Oh, look at me! I'm so pretty and wet! I come out of oceans! I smell like dolphins!"

... I feel like I might need to draw this...
