Summary

Description
English: This is a pencil illustration of a kallikantzaros, a kind of goblin-like creature from modern Greek folklore, drawn by Spencer Alexander McDaniel. This illustration was started in late January 2020 and completed in mid-March 2020. This particular illustration is based on various older Greek and non-Greek depictions of kallikantzaroi. It also draws significant inspiration from various depictions of satyrs in ancient Greek red-figure pottery. Most of the patterns shown both beneath and above the kallikantzaros are loosely based on patterns from ancient Greek pottery and Byzantine mosaics. A few Christmas motifs (i.e. the holly in the upper left and right-hand corners and the christopsomo pattern at the top) are included because, in Greek folklore, kallikantzaroi are said to come out during the Twelve Days of Christmas.
