The Glaistig

This bizarre character is based on the Scottish folklore of the Glaistig. For my Design Module - Precious Cargo - I've had to design and create six characters based on British folklore, this one is Alice Glaistig.


The Glaistig is a beautiful woman who is half goat: as illustrated above. She acts similar to a banshee, squeeling by the waters edge in mourning for the drown. Furthermore, sources suggest that she is a symbol of fertility thus I have chosen to elaborate on this idea by making her pregnant.
