I love how the kelpie's true form is reflected in the water. Also, I don't know why, but I love that the kelpie murdered and probably ate the camera man. It just gives it a pretty classic horror feel to it all.
@glowworm26 жыл бұрын
But the way it looks at its own reflection makes me wonder if the creature itself has felt guilty over what it does.

It's hard to say. Truth be told, most kelpies were known for luring people through their horse form and drowning them in the waters to eat them later. They could also shapeshift into handsome young men mainly seeking women for companionship--but somehow or other, they were usually recognized for what they truly were and the romance would fail.

Pebble Pellets True, there is a breed of dog called a kelpie, but in the case of this video and mythological folklore, a kelpie is a violent shape-shifting water spirit who usually takes the form of a horse in order to lure people to ride on his back (generally kelpies are male) so he can drown and eat his victims. Kelpies could also shapeshift into handsome young man in order to seek the companionship of young women.

I don't know why, but this animation just feels so natural. To me, it doesn't paint the kelpie out as a horrible monster, but rather just a creature living it's natural life in it's natural habitat. Kelpie are such amazing mythical creatures. A lot of old mythical creatures seem to have lost their place in mythology, and just become plastic interpretations of childish creatures dancing on rainbows (or have been forgotten completely, like the piasa,) but the Kelpie remains the same haunting, terrifying, yet still beautiful beast it always was.

So for anyone who doesn't understand, I wanted to give some outlines of the kelpie. The kelpie is a mystical creature that lives underwater and feeds on fresh human flesh. The kelpie always kills it's victims itself to ensure the freshest meat. The kelpie often lives in lakes or swamps, where the water is deep and murky. The kelpie has two forms, one of them being the classic kelpie, and the other a beautiful white horse. The kelpie lures it's victims by standing by it's body of water while waiting for a human. The kelpie will lure it's victims on it's back and quickly run under the water, where it drowns and eats the corpses.

Kelpies are basically water horses of death. They basically look all beautiful and cute and innocent then convince their victim to get on their back, then they are stuck on the kelpie’s back and the kelpie drowns them and eats them. Also, as far as I know they don’t change appearance, mostly just the look of their eyes is kinder when they are tricking people.

Fun fact: You can eat Kelpie, its meat tastes like a combination of beef and tuna, which tastes better when it's grilled. Its mane is actually aquatic plants, and preparing is similar seaweed which gives it a nice crunch. The best part of this creature is its oily fat, which you can make into high-quality soap and shampoo. All thanks to this series ~ *Delicious in Dungeon* by Ryoko Kui

The Kelpie is my absolute favorite thing/creature/mythical creature in the world. I can always be found talking about it or drawing it in different ways (fish tail, four legs, horse skull, normal head with sharp teeth, gills, no gills, etc). For a science presentation I made an educational presentation all about the facts of the kelpie and how to "keep safe" from one (how to tell by the wet mane and never climb atop a strange horse by some water). I've gone so far as to draw plans for an imaginary fish tank with bullet proof glass that could keep a Kelpie from escaping and not eating people but still have one as a pet.(Most girls want a unicorn but my dream is to own a equine that turns into a creature of nightmares) obviously that is just fun. But my sketch books and short stories are filled with kelpies. Thank you SO much for making this. It's one more link about kelpies I can spam my best friend with.

And I taimed you." And I said "so I'm a Kelpy?" And she like "what's that?" "A magical horse who's a normal horse on land but changes in the water and walks along the beach getting people to ride on its back." "Okay then yeah! You're a kelpy." "Except when people get on its back they cant get off. it only gets people on it's back so it can drown them and eat them!!" I say as I jump into the water with her on my back giving her only just enough time to hold her breath.

A Kelpie is a water fairy best known for taking the form of a beautiful horse to lure riders onto its back and then it takes off with them on its back and drags them back to the water and drowns them to eat. By the time most people realize something is wrong, they've become stuck to the Kelpie's back, because it's skin becomes like glue and you can not break free. They appear a lot in Irish & Scottish mythology.

The motions of the horse have been captivated brilliantly. They flow and transition such as you would see on the real thing and the several camera angles you chose were executed to an extraordinary degree. Everything fell together with artistic beauty, right down to the subtle sound effects that carry through with the music. They do not over lap one another, but rather flow in an angelic manner. This truly was 1:13 not spent with disappointment.

The music really added to creepy vib. The transition from kelpie to horse was so smooth. Great video
This was beautifully creepy. Such lovely animation as well.
Thank you so much!
So for anyone who doesn't understand, I wanted to give some outlines of the kelpie. The kelpie is a mystical creature that lives underwater and feeds on fresh human flesh. The kelpie always kills it's victims itself to ensure the freshest meat. The kelpie often lives in lakes or swamps, where the water is deep and murky. The kelpie has two forms, one of them being the classic kelpie, and the other a beautiful white horse. The kelpie lures it's victims by standing by it's body of water while waiting for a human. The kelpie will lure it's victims on it's back and quickly run under the water, where it drowns and eats the corpses.
@luna slash Thanks for the detail! I surprisingly didn't know that!
I wish big cartoon companies would put the kind of care, detail, beauty, fluid realism and effort back into their animation like you do
lovely Kellie story wish it was longer though...
good
Same.
Kelpies are basically water horses of death. They basically look all beautiful and cute and innocent then convince their victim to get on their back, then they are stuck on the kelpie’s back and the kelpie drowns them and eats them. Also, as far as I know they don’t change appearance, mostly just the look of their eyes is kinder when they are tricking people.
So like the more animal version of sirens and some mermaids?
@@Death_Gremlin basically
When it looked at its reflection it almost seemed like it felt guilty...
Ye, & then it felt so guilty it went & killed & ATE sum dude smh lmao
i loved this so much, the song is so fitting to the mood, but i can't seem to find the song for the life of me!
Thank you! Here's the music :) www.sonofind.com/search/maciek%5C's%20son/%7B%22settings%22%3A%7B%22sopt_descr%22%3A1%2C%22sopt_title%22%3A1%7D%2C%22advanced%22%3A%7B%22type%22%3A%22category%22%2C%22data%22%3A%7B%7D%7D%2C%22filters%22%3A%7B%22version%22%3A%221%22%7D%7D
thank you so much!
Natamazing kelpie fan
Amazing!
Fun fact: You can eat Kelpie, its meat tastes like a combination of beef and tuna, which tastes better when it's grilled. Its mane is actually aquatic plants, and preparing is similar seaweed which gives it a nice crunch. The best part of this creature is its oily fat, which you can make into high-quality soap and shampoo. All thanks to this series ~ *Delicious in Dungeon* by Ryoko Kui
вкуснотища XD
AAAAA THE KELPIE IS THE COOLEST LEGEND OF ALL TIME!!!!
Wait till you find out about black dogs/hellhounds ;)
I love this version of a kelpie, it's cute. :D
i'm kinda irked by how impractial the kelpie's true form is for swimming xD like, grow a fin or sth gorgeous animation though, great job! :3
The Kelpie is my absolute favorite thing/creature/mythical creature in the world. I can always be found talking about it or drawing it in different ways (fish tail, four legs, horse skull, normal head with sharp teeth, gills, no gills, etc). For a science presentation I made an educational presentation all about the facts of the kelpie and how to "keep safe" from one (how to tell by the wet mane and never climb atop a strange horse by some water). I've gone so far as to draw plans for an imaginary fish tank with bullet proof glass that could keep a Kelpie from escaping and not eating people but still have one as a pet.(Most girls want a unicorn but my dream is to own a equine that turns into a creature of nightmares) obviously that is just fun. But my sketch books and short stories are filled with kelpies. Thank you SO much for making this. It's one more link about kelpies I can spam my best friend with.
okay. I love kelpies but this one its terrifying but the way *donkey noise* it swims *wheeze* is so so cute its like nyeh nyeh water hard to swim in
This is really cool, I love the unsettling kind of river setting at the beginning, and then the really foggy swamp forest area.
I can't get over that stubby little tail and how it swims. Way too cute.
kelpie looks. So cute
Utterly stupendous! I can tell that a lot of love and dedication went into this project (the cameraman possibly becoming Kelpie Chow was genius), so I have placed it in my British Ghost Stories and Dark Faery Lore playlist.
When I watched this the first time Me at first: Awwwww! It just wants to be a normal- Me at end: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!
Not gonna lie, the Kelpie was actually really cute throughout most of the video. Just a water horse, swimmin bout the bottom of the murky- OH oh yeah. Kelpies aren't nice. Oh well!
They are so beautiful 💗
For one moment I read "Kelpie Shore" and I imagine everything... not a horse.
the horse anatomy in this is incredible. horses make no damn sense with their build but you captured it so so perfectly
I love the transition when it came out of the water that was cool✌️😎
Aaaaaa The way it emerges from the water, and The unnatural bend as it looks down at the water Poetry in motion
That was amazing, I love it. It's beautiful I love horses
You wouldn’t love it if when you tried to ride it you stick to it’s back and it drowned and ate you.
being someone who has come from a scottish family, i’ve always been told to know before going, meaning to never approach anything that may be beautiful, but it could be lethal. just like a kelpie.
Steamy Sulixx yep
So funny story: last summer I took my niece and little sister (both 10 years old) swimming and my niece hops on my back and says "pretend I'm a princess and you're a magical horse I found that's a normal horse on land but a mer horse in the water, okay? And I taimed you." And I said "so I'm a Kelpy?" And she like "what's that?" "A magical horse who's a normal horse on land but changes in the water and walks along the beach getting people to ride on its back." "Okay then yeah! You're a kelpy." "Except when people get on its back they cant get off. it only gets people on it's back so it can drown them and eat them!!" I say as I jump into the water with her on my back giving her only just enough time to hold her breath.
She contradicted me by turning herself into the princess of sirens and then we ran around trying to drown my sister and all the other friends and family
This is the kind of people I need in my life.
That animation was so beautifully done.
Beautiful music, animation of the horse's movements was very realistic and pleasant to look at. Also when it looked at its reflection and saw the scary version of itself i felt kinda sad for it
This was amazing but I didn’t expect it to be this short
I don't know why but I come back to this animation like once a year and I still love it
The head of your Kelpie, is the Head of the wizard Elias in Ancient Magus Bride... But I think this short story looks amazing, I hope there comes something more :)
Eh, not really. Elias has horns. I can see where you'd see that though. 😁
The way he swims is so cute. This is a really pleasant little video, I could watch it over and over.
this is so amazing!!!! where are your subs!!?? you are really talented and I can't wait to see more! ^-^
that was incredibly short...but incredibly AMAZING
What beautiful animation! I love the transition from the Kelpie's true form to its horse form as it leaves the water. My favorite part is when the Kelpie looks at its reflection. I hope you got top marks for this project!
All the good horse animators are coming out of the woodwork into my Recommendation feed.
As a fellow art school graduate I know exactly how much work went into this, I applaud you girl!
Wow, this was amazing! Why am I just now seeing this?!?
this needs more views kelpies are scary but beautiful
this was super cool, i know it took alot of work but i couldent help but giggle when the Kelpie ran mid-water XD
the horse was drawn beautifully! but what’s a kelpie? i’m interested in this horse demon creature
A Kelpie is a water fairy best known for taking the form of a beautiful horse to lure riders onto its back and then it takes off with them on its back and drags them back to the water and drowns them to eat. By the time most people realize something is wrong, they've become stuck to the Kelpie's back, because it's skin becomes like glue and you can not break free. They appear a lot in Irish & Scottish mythology.
Amanda Martin oh!! maybe my favorite mythology yet
Amanda Martin If I could teleport off it I would.
@Amanda Martin I've also heard after they finish eating their prey, they make sure the organs of its prey are on the surface. (I may be wrong, its just what i heard.)
Kelpies are water creatures that take the form of a terrible beast underwater and become a horse when out of the water. They can also take the form off beautiful women luring men to their deaths. They are from Scottish folklore
Wow, I love how smooth it is! I also love the style!! Great job!
This is SO inspirational! I love it!
Thank you! I'm super glad you think so! :D
One of my most favorite short films!
Aw MAN the amount of mystery in this short animation, GENUIS! Leaves you wanting more.
This was absolutely spectacular. The amount of time and effort put into this is obvious. That transformation upon leaving the water at the beginning was magnificent, I had to skip back and watch it for a second time. It was truly mesmerizing. The motions of the horse have been captivated brilliantly. They flow and transition such as you would see on the real thing and the several camera angles you chose were executed to an extraordinary degree. Everything fell together with artistic beauty, right down to the subtle sound effects that carry through with the music. They do not over lap one another, but rather flow in an angelic manner. This truly was 1:13 not spent with disappointment.
I love how when I clicked on this vid, they gave me an advertisement of international horses for sale 😆
Love how the water breaks when the Keplies face pushes through
Amazing! Simply Amazing!
*HUGS* I love your animations they’re sooo awesome ^_^
Short, simple, to the point. Don't need a lot to make a good story. And beautiful animation.
I loved this it was so cute and the sound affects were great when the Kelpie came out of the water!♥️
Wow that’s so smooth! .0. So well done omg!
Movement was awesome, colors give off a perfect vibe for a kelpie and sound effects and music were perfect UwU
Los kelpies son adorables como caballos y bajo el agua son muy queridos
Fun fact Kelpies are my favorite mythical creature!
I love kelpies they are my favorite scottish legend (all legends have a bit of truth to it) Kelpies can be found in lakes shapes like a horse it is told that they will give you a ride to the water and drown you.
It's so beautiful and calm.😇💛💙💜💚❤😋💝😘
this is a beautiful animation
Whoever made this animation is so talented
This is so beautiful! Amazing job!
I love how well you did the expressions on the horse's face!
I know that 10 hours of work equals 10 seconds of good animation so I have mad respect for people like you
You should make this a series !! Make it a story!!
Woah that transformation is gorgeous!
I needed to watch it several times because it is so beautiful
This is soooooo good it’s amazing I want to learn to animate like you this is incredible
The coming out of the water and looking back at it's reflection made me almost cry
*in a good way
Gorgeous work!
0:22 this was really cute to me and idk why..
same. He’s just so smoll
I am drawing the kelpie right now- why am I obsessed with the kelpie-
So beautifully animated... I adore this
kelpies are one of my favorite creepypasta animals
It's not a creepypasta I think it has to do something with folklore
Well done, Anaïs! Nice rendition.
0:20 that’s the most adorable little pony I’ve ever seen in an animation, the body!
YAY . HAVCE ANYONE BEEN TO SCOTLAND AND SEEN THE KEPLIES? They made these huge horse heads
Alanna Mellon I’m Scottish but I don’t live in Scotland anymor
Wonderful work! ^^
Wow, Beautiful. I enjoyed this
BRUHHH- WE NEED MORE ANIMATORS LIKE YOU ON HERE-
This was awesome! Great job
This horse looks so lovely 😍
The movement is so well animated!
Im excited to see it through. I'll tell you in the end. EDIT: I thought the skull horse was a llama. XD
I love this mythological creature❤️
That´s pretty nice that horse animation... I love it!
New twist on an old story, well done!
The kelpie looks like a beautiful white horse out of the water. I would ride it but not drown.
Once you ride the kelpie, you cannot get off its back. You stick fast, tangled in a mane of waterweed.
@@averycheesypotato Oh hell no
I like how well the horse's tail flicks. Nice touch
This is amazing I love it! I have the oldest art/drawing of a kelpie tattooed on me lol
