The scariest pour moi is of course the folklore I grew up with, that is Norwegian folklore, especially Nøkken and lots of stuff from Theodor Kittelsen. But there's also a comfiness (and often humor) to it.

I get this. It has a really interesting mix of the primordial (Wendigos and Skin walkers), folklore (Jersey Devil, ayy lmaos) and modern urban legends (dog men and such)

Japan was always great at the ghoulish and ghastly, and is currently the king when it comes to keeping the folklore tradition alive though ghost stories and urban legends. It is evolving (Slit mouth woman, various internet urban legends) yet still retains its pagan, Shinto roots. It's a very facinating thing
East asian folklore in general is very interesting, with some creepy creatures (my faves are Jiangshi and Penanggalan)

(Sorry for rambling I'm drunk and love folklore. If there's anything specific please (you) me)

he has painted quite alot tho, along with his drawing. He has pretty much influenced how everyone views fairytale and folklore creatures here

Either way, yes I adore his artstyle. It has alot of soul and ambience and an uniquely norwegian feel to it
