Rawhead and Bloody Bones
Steal naughty children from their homes
Take them to his dirty den
And they are never seen again.
Old Tommy Rawhead showing his face, or at least what's under it...
The poem is an old english bit. Surprisingly there aren't many stories/movies or books featuring him. Normally he's just an evil fairy type who eats kids. Here he's appearing via a human host.
The process can be a little messy.

My grandpa used to talk about rawhead and bloody bones, but I never made the connection that he was talking about something eating kids! D:
This piece is so badass though. It has a real good bloody, sinewy feel to it. If anything could scare children into brushing their teeth, it would be this kick ass dude!

sweet! I read a story about a bloody pig carcass demon that was a fairy tale from the South, it sounds like some families from the Uk brought over their myths and they changed a few things over the years. I really enjoy both versions of the character, which is why he has a piggish skull but is also a bit more evil and old fashioned than the Southern rawhead. Let me know if you remember any of the stuff your grandpa told you. I'm trying to resaerch storeis, but there aren't many!
XD thanks! I was thinking ol' tommy wanted to inspire me by the way it fell-well, squish and slurped onto the page. I've had dreams about him in other forms, but didn't know it until i started researching for this pic. Not sure if I'm honored or REALLY freaking scared!! *shivers* O_O
omg! I love surgery! watching it at least. if i could magically become an awesome surgeon without the medical school stuff, I'd totally make that one of my three wishes for the genie. XD
i also like skinning dead things, which is why I felt relatively confident in pulling this off (pun not intended, although it's appropriate >:D )

wow. I'm not really sure i believe in fairies and monsters but sometimes... I'm really seriously considering some kind of evil outside influence with this pic. I can't stop staring at the sticky jerk!
Just remember me if i get sucked into the marl-pit! I'll miss you guys!
