Hey, thanks for the art share! The one on the right is my Mermay art from last year, and the one on the left is from this year (it's a selkie mum and her pup, and selkies are mermaids right because they're half-seal half-human and live in the sea)

Grey seals or selkies can also turn back into human form. Seal hunters on the Monach Islands heard this singing:
Woe to the land, woe to the land!
Eating people for your food;
See the chief of all our nation
Boiled to death on a blazing fire.

Selkies are among our favourite shapeshifters- beautiful seals in water and beautiful people on land but there are dark, abusive undertones to their sealskins being stolen by fishermen.

Selkies are seal people. They can cast off their skins and take human form. Once a fisherman saw a selkie playing with her sisters and he stole her skin so she couldn’t turn back into a seal. So she stayed and was a good wife to him...

This past year I’ve been re-working a lot of old ideas. This is a Selkie drawing I did based off of a watercolor painting I did in 2012. I’ve always loved Selkies, the seal women of Scottish folklore (and the Kópakonan of Faroe Islands!). I hope you enjoy it!

'Song of the Sea' is a beautiful hand-drawn animated film about selkies. A boy discovers his mute sister Saorsie is actually a selkie and he blames her for their mother's disappearance. She has the task of freeing faerie creatures from the Celtic goddess Macha.

“Selkie’s Grotto”

Admittedly took much longer because I got stuck and redid things several times. RTs would mean a lot to me cause i spent an eternity on this. If you’re unfamiliar, selkies are seal-human shapeshifters from Celtic/Nordic myth.
