Description I'll get to a coloured ref at some point. At the moment sketches are too much fun!
So, new personal OC. Tatters is an old English faerie. You know, the old ones. Who steal children and put people to sleep for a hundred years or kill you for eating their food. He takes the form of a Hooden Horse , but he's the real deal, not an entertainment. 

I doubt any of you have the desire to attempt to decipher my scrawling, so here's a translation

- Makes a sound like morris or harness bells
- size of a human being (slightly bigger)
- ears optional, change a lot,  depends on what/where he's stolen them from
- no arms. can extrude clasping tentacles/formed graspers for catching prey
- powerful muscles to keep from overbalancing
- human legs. skin is like shark/slug skin, rough, slimy
- cloak can be covered in whatever he steals/eats
- can be bridled like a real horse
- no teeth
- no eyes, he is blind
- head made of wood - fossilised oak wood, very hard

You can hitch a ride on Tatters' back. But you really won't be ready for it and you may not like where you end up.

That's crazy! I was looking at a hooded horse the other day! But I hadn't a clue what it was until you've said here aha.

This is fantastic, honestly fantastic. I adore the the concept for this fellow, he has that strange kind of charm about him with the no eyes and no teeth, no facial features and powerfully standing on his legs. So neat!

Hee thank you! It always means so much when you guys like my personal OCs! I come from the south of England so hooden horses are part of my culture, I grew up with them at fairs and shows. I always found them both fascinating and creepy.

High fives! I'm from the south too!

That's amazing! I can imagine that being both creepy and fascinating as you've said, aha.
What a lovely character and background for him!
