Description

Again, scaner has destroyed colours. Original version looks better.

Rosalia, ancestor of my character, Sharkie Gogan:

 She is one of the first shark-people. Poor rusalkas. They were thinking she was one of them (did you know that in slavic folklore there are also evil and mean-spirited rusalkas, who attack people? I based Rosalia's character on those beliefs.
Why I named her Rosalia? Because:

"According to folk belief the souls of the departed (called rusalky) came out of their graves on this day. To win their favor, food and drink were placed on the graves. The rusalky were believed to leave the streams on Rosalia Thursday (called rusalchyn or mavskyi Easter) and to spend a week in the forests and fields looking for foolhardy bachelors, whom they tickled to death. In some localities Rosalia week concluded with rusalka games or a rusalka farewell procession".
More about connection between slavic rusalkas and Roman celebration here: www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/…\R\O\Rosalia.htm

In Polish
Procest twórczy wyglądał mniej więcej tak:
"O,  :iconnoire-ighaan: i :iconniziolek: rysują dużo pin-upów i sexy panienek! Też chcę spróbować! -> *intensywne myślenie* -> rusałkę, narysuję rusałkę! -> hmmm, te ciuchy chyba są zbyt podarte na rusałkę....-> Wiem, narysuję przodkinię (przodka płci żeńskiej? panią przodek?) Sharkie Gogan -> łi, mam pretekst do narysowania krwi na cyckach!

Przysięgam, to miała być pierwotnie kawaii rusałka z odsłoniętym biustem.
