Huldra appears in old Scandinavian folklore as a seductive forest creature, the Lady and ruler of the forest. The huldra is stunningly beatiful, but if you saw her from behind you could see she is hollow with a hole in her back, just like an old tree. She also has an animal's tail, in Norway it's a cow's tail, but in Sweden(where I live) it is usually a fox's tail. Huldra is very interested in humans, especially men, and rewards those that are kind to her, but she can make your life miserable if you make her angry. In some traditions, she lures men into the forest to make romance (sex), again rewarding those that gives her satisfaction and often killing those who don't or refuse her. Sometimes she marries a local farm boy.When they are married in church, the tail falls off. If the man doesn't treat her right, she will be incredibly ugly and the husband will suffer greatly throughout the marriage.

I've worked on this for so, so many hours (countless) that I can hardly beleive it's finally finished. Done in PS CS2.
Awesome! You finished it! I bet you are very excited. It looks wonderful. The description was a nice read to go along with it too. The endless hours you spent on it were well worth it, in my opinion.
At last This is simply jawdropping dear, you've painted it so skillfully, so beautifully, I cannot tell what I like the most here - the girl, the fox, all these little details that you've put into the grass and flowers, general atmosphere, colors, perfect use of light... So far - it's your best painting if I can say it Wonderful. Magic. You MUST win! Goddammit girl, you rock!
This is so beautiful! The forest....it looks so real. I'm speachless and nice to hear what Huldra is. ^^ I'm just shocked...it looks so amazing...all those details. Be proud of it
There are a lot of themes that run through the stock gallery many people have similar ideas but they pull them off in different ways. In this series of newsletters we will look at similar ideas but different outcomes.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
