Some other resources that might be worth checking out (not strictly about faeries but related):
The Corpus of Electronic Texts, or CELT, a collection of Irish cultural materials. This includes English translations of Irish myths.
Mary Jones - similar to CELT, and a resource we used for translations in the Irish mythology class I took in undergrad.
An Encyclopedia of Fairies by Katherine Mary Briggs, a British folklorist.
The Folklore of Cornwall by Ronald M. James. Unfortunately this book is harder to access and is often only in university libraries, but if you're interested in piskies it's a potentially very helpful read.
Traditions and Hearthside Stories of West Cornwall by William Bottrell.
British Goblins by Wirt Sikes is THE encyclopedia of Welsh faerie mythology

Purvan Suul: Champion of the Matron of Ravens (with Galdric)
🐺🐦⬛💀
For @artists-guild-of-exandria's Age of Calamity project. Illustrating scenes depicting the Calamity as a part of Exandria's history.
Purvan Suul became champion of the Raven Queen shortly before the beginning of the Age of Calamity. During the Calamity, he became a known legend. The Raven Queen gifted him leather armor called the Deathwalker's Ward, granting protection and the ability to fly with a pair of black feathered wings.

Here’s a culminated mess of my Gen brainrot, please ignore how often my art styles changes I’m very sane
Were-House Shenanigans + some NPCS
Some fun notes!
-In my mind, Mutt would absolutely have this tattoo
-I tweaked Phileaux's design a bit by adding eyebrows and creases based on the shape of knots in wood. This was done to make him more expressive but also convey some resemblance of his past human form. I also gave him a hat similar to the one worn by Peter Cushing as Van Helsing in the Hammer Horror Dracula series. And since Van Helsing's spirit used to reside in the puppet Phileaux currently has, I feel like the puppet design would somewhat resemble him as well.
-I finally colored this in
-For Van Helsing's design, I was inspired by Peter Cushing's portrayal of the character, Edward Van Sloan's portrayal of him from Dracula (1931), and Peter Vincent from Fright Night (1985).
-I imagine Mr. Mistoffelees as an actual sized cat
-DJ Thumbs' setup is based heavily on the video game Fuser! It is my personal headcanon that the music that Griffin plays for the Max Fun Drive Rave (especially the remixes from this year) is the same music that plays inside the Were-House
