RE: Crypto Collectibles presents Thessaly for #Inktober2018 Day 4 #Spell
Nice sketch! Is this Thessaly from Gaiman's Sandman? I think I remember a witch with that name in the comic, hunted by the Corinthian? By the way, Thessaly (Θεσσαλία) is a region in central Greece, while Corinthos (Κόρινθος) is a city in southern Greece.
Indeed Thessaly from Sandman!
That is a very cool connection with the names sharing with the lands in those areas of Greece. I wouldn't put it past someone like Gaiman doing all that on purpose and it having a meaning.
Well, not everything comes from Gaiman, some concepts are older... ;)
