Description
This is my entry for 's Across the Universe contest. One of the themes were fairytales and also an angel and demon theme, i decided to mix them up.
I grew up with Ukrainian fairytales and this particular picture is about a mermaid(rusalka) and how they lure innocent men and children and drown them. Basically a Rusalka is a girl who is unwed that got killed near a body of water and her spirit is restless and drowns others as revenge. My grandma just loved to freak me out with them -__-
Moving on, basically since rusalki dont have their own story and are seen as demonic creatures, I think I mixed the two themes for the constest to work together.
Finally about the actual picture, from the beginning I wanted Hinata to be the demonic one while not making her extremely ooc. I figured this legend was best suited for her and i just wanted make Sasuke clueless for once. The reason Hinata is scantily clad is because usually rusalki are shown to be naked, but I figured since that Hinata would be modest even in this state. So here is Hinata luring Sasuke to his death via drowning, not a happy ending I know but most of the childhood stories I grew up with rarely ever did.
Anyway enjoy, I'm done rambling now
P.S. and rusalki are not, in most cases, depicted with fish tails and instead have legs and super long hair.
