Artist's Comments
A pontianak is a type of Malay ghost of a woman who died during childbirth and becomes the undead.
According to the story, the Pontianak resides in banana trees that grow near houses. She appears as a beautiful and seductive woman, usually accompanied with the strong perfume of frangipani, and upon capture of her prey (usually unwary men or pregnant women), she turns into a hideous hag and kills them. However, if one wishes to capture this beautiful spirit to make her a wife (don't underestimate how desperate some people can be), a red string can be tied or inserted (using needles) into the banana trees's heart/fruit/blossom and the other end tied to the person's window. However, if the string is ever severed, the pontianak will be released and kill her captor. I wanted to capture the moment when she realized that someone is attempting to capture her. However.. the strings are not tied tightly enough.. This is for pixelbrush.com's Myth contest. edit: Winner of Pixelbrush's Event #15 Myth contest ^^!! |

by a rough, rock nerd bandit
eyes meeting to stop and still
each heart fluttering under the thrill,
oh this love we never wish to destroy
