PLEASE, NEGATIVE CRITIQUES ARE NOT WELCOME. THESE ARE ARTISTS INTERPRETATIONS. DESCRIPTIONS ARE BASED ON VARIOUS STORIES THAT ALL DIFFER FROM VARIOUS SOURCES. THANK YOU.



This awesome sketch art card of Qalupalik from Inuit Mythology is drawn by the very talented artist Chris Meeks :iconkapow2003: for our Classic Mythology II trading card set.

 

Qalupalik is an Inuit mythological creature. They are human-like creatures that live in the sea, with long hair with green skin and long finger nails. The myth is that qalupaliks wear an amuatik (which is a form of pouch that Inuit parents wear to carry their children) so that they can take babies and children away who disobey their parents. The story was used to prevent children from wandering off alone else the qalupalik would take the children in her amautik under water and keep them forever. Qalupaliks are supposed to have a distinctive humming sound so they can be heard before they appear.

Hello, I was wondering if I could borrow this artwork for a video I am making on the Qalupalik. Your information would be provided in the video and description if allowed.
