One night last week, I could just not sleep, 'cause my brain was abuzz with too many ideas of critters I want to sculpt. So since I didn't want to go to the trouble of setting up all my clays in the middle of the night, I just sat up in bed and drew a handful of drawings instead. No use even trying to go back to sleep until I got this critter out of my head. I think my favourite way to depict a kelpie (or hyppocamp, or waterhorse, or seahorse, or whatever other ambiguous term that is just as easily confused with totally non-kelpie things) is with stripes. It gives it just enough of an "off" look that it seems fitting of the mysterious ocean. Seriously, though, some of those sea-critters look totally alien! So I think a kelpie only starts to look correct when it starts to look weird. Drawn in the wee hours of February 26th, 2015.
