I Did Not Like The Official Inktober 2023 Prompt List Much, So I Made My Own One Based On Irish Mythology,

Ladies, gentlemen and glorious non-binary people, I give you Áed Dub mac Suibhni and St. Findchán! It's a series of illustrations I made for my husband's conference presentation on how love wins in Early Ireland. Shared with his permission of course.

i really dont like to post my irish pagan art, BUT i really wanna share with folks who have a similar love for this stuff, is there a way thats best for me to share this w you? /pos /nf

I would be delighted to see it! I can be found on Insta at @aodhan_ph (my art account there is half-dead and I'll probably restart it anyways).

Another fanboying over Manannán mac Lir in the making

The Forest Nobles

Maybe the The Pursuit of Diarmuid and Grainne? After all, it has love spells, chases, shapeshifting, boars, criminal shenanigans, and a hurling match! Also Finn and his insecure boomer ego though.

I did not like the official Inktober 2023 prompt list much, so I made my own one based on Irish mythology, for fellow Celticists and otherwise enjoyers. Everyone is welcome to share and join!

The background is designed after a gold lunula found in Killarney (~2000 BC).

Manannán mac Lir getting ready to remove someone's head.

A commission of Brigid for @bloodtreachery (awww, it was SUCH a pleasure to do it!). I put an emphasis on her aspect as a poet, hence the fire of poetry ablaze! The poem in the flames is a liberal translation of these lines from The Hosting of the Sidhe into Old Irish (courtesy of my wonderful husband):

...if any gaze on our rushing band, We come between him and the deed of his hand, We come between him and the hope of his heart.
