A revamped version of this sketch.

I'm actually supprised that I haven't seen these around on chicken smoothie. Selkies are mythological creatures found in Faroese, Icelandic, Irish, and Scottish folklore, and they're stunning to me. Selkies are said to live as seals in the sea but shed their skin to become human on land.
Of course Selkies are suppose to be human or seal not both according to the mythology, though I really think they're adorable this way <3

I was inspired by this artists gallery and their lovely drawings of Selkies ;w; I'll make the male sketch sometime soon!

Oh my cod, what are the odds that I had just found an interest in these creatures?
As soon as I saw it, I knew you were inspired by StressedJenny (name correct? I haven't visited her gallery in so long...). Her drawings of Selkies were downright adorable!

Very nice sketch! Very cute! I've got myself in a Kelpie-obsession, but that doesn't mean I don't take interest in the other folklore creatures. c:

Yep!
It's actually by chance I found this artist again. My girlfriend was showing me a bunch of adorable Selkie artwork from them and I was just freaking out I loved them so much.
I'd wanted to make one of these sooooooo so long ago - like, three years or somethin like that - but I'd totally forgotten so I really got inspired to draw them, and as future adoptables no less! >w<
And yes~ I love folklore it's amazing <3

And if you practice you will! Look at tons of references and stuff and you'll do fine I promise >ww<
I also take commissions so if you ever want me to make you something I'd totally do it , and for a good price too ;3 I need to practice my underwater creatures ;u;

Hey, Hey Dave, when did you get so good at humanoids?

Oh my goodness, this is an amazing drawing! <3
I absolutely love Selkies, and man does this take me back to when I first stumbled upon StressedJenny's work!

Shoot I think you are telepathic.
I am absolutely in love with StressedJenny's artwork, but I too had not visited her gallery in a very long time!
(I admit, I used to be slightly obsessed with Mias and Elle x3)
Her gallery actually inspired me to wright a short story about a Selkie and a man who takes her seal skin.
There may also have been a side story about a girl who cries seven tears into the water and is whisked away by a Selkie man, but I'm not sure if that actually ever got written, or was just in my head x3
(Sadly, that was a long time ago, and I have no idea where that notebook went -_-)

Back to this telepathic thing... I too am obsessed with Kelpies :3
I'm actually working on my own Kelpie character, and I have a small hoard of the Kelpie ponies from last Halloween.
asdfghjkl; I love folklore so much <3

Anyways, I just want to thank you profusely Dave Egbert, for creating this amazing piece of art, and letting me take a stroll down memory lane :3
So beautiful <3
