Description
Finnish Mythology: Nyyrikki is the god/guardian of the hunt and shepherd of the forest animals. He is the son of Tapio the Golden King of the Forest, and Mielikki the healer.
Hunters called for Nyyrikki in order to get pray. We don’t actually know a lot about him. He is said to have red hair and a blue coat: “Nyyrikki, Tapion poika, / mies puhas, punakypärä, / siniviitta viian poika.”
Oh, and those symbols on the upper corner: the pentagram (the star) is an ancient symbol that protects from the beasts (good sign for Nyyrikki ^^). The other symbol (the circle) is called the circle of the sun ("auringonkehrä").
He became quite cute ^^ Maybe I’ll use him somewhere... I’m planning to draw other deities in different mythologies as well.
FEEL FREE to wish for someone from any mythology! (You doesn’thave to be a friend or a watcher to do this)
Although I can’t guarantee for anything I’m always eager to learn about new deities <3
I really like his hair.
