Description
"Oh child, I love you so, that I will never let you go."I can't find the translation of the poem I read as a kid, but that line was definitely in there. Spooky.

I love that the Erlking also looks something like og, to explain the dad's thinking that at first.

Really cool pic, by the way. As if the story isn't creepy enough, now we get this awesome visual to go with it! ^_^

I believe the poem you are referring to is an English adaptation of Der Erlkonig By Johanna Wolfgang con Gothe. The picture is haunting, none the less. If u r looking for a translation, I think I found one on Wikipedia [link]

ooooh...
Spiky creepy fog dude.
Had you seen my take on that theme? or rather, read the awesome fanfic Subtilior did based on that poem?

OMG! OMG. OMG. OMG.
I saw your GORGEOUS painting- but I didn't follow the link to the story.
Holy moly. That is hands-down one of the best (and spine-chilling) stories I have ever read. I would love to see you illustrate the whole thing
I need to go take a cold shower. I hope Subtilior is writing for a living!!

Yeah that's an awesome poem, though a little disturbing ("I love thee, child, in vain wouldst thou now be perverse, For if thou'rt not willing, I'll take thee by force") :3 I read it for German class. Neat pic, I like the semi-transparant, swirly king.

Wow- that's a translation I haven't read...it's even creepier!
Sometimes creepy is fun to draw, though. Glad you liked it!
