In Irish lore, a Selkie (male or female) would shed their fairie seal form when they came upon the land. Often finding a human member of the opposite sex to engage in sex during the night and returning to the sea in the morning. Changing back into their Selkie seal form... More than a few fair human maidens gave birth to Selkie babies in the lore, it was these Selkie children that would be taken to live with their own kind, so the stories go (as told to me by my Irish mother)...
I love your curves and art... Wonderful 😺

Excellent design on the Selkie, . It's nice to see diversity in the body types humanoid monster designs.
I really like how calm and at peace she is. It really feels like she's in her element in this picture.

It's nice to see a shapely, dark selkie for a change. Excellent job!

So this is amazing. Wow.
She looks striking and powerful and I love that you gave her weight, so perfect (skinny Selkies make no sense to me, seals aren't shaped like that) and her hands, too. My goodness.
I really hope you do more work with them because clearly there's something wonderful going on here.

Thank you very much hun, as a girl who carries more than a little weight I really wanted to draw something expressing the feel of weight rather than bouncy bouncy curves (which I do still love drawing) and a selkie seamed the perfect choice.
Yeah how would thin selkies keep warm!
