Description
in slavic mythology, rusalka is a spirit or soul of a woman that was killed or died in a violent manner near a body of water. some sources describe them as hideous creatures while in others they are beautiful; i opted for something in between.watercolors, 18x24cm 300gsm paper

I like how you opted for something in between--it makes it so much more interesting!

I'm seconding that the color scheme is very beautiful. Watery, swampy, and dark. Like a supernatural nightlight was turned on in the middle of a ghostly meeting.
Oh wait, that would be the moon
