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.
