A picture of my selkie character Rune in the mist of either shedding or donning his seal skin. I was shooting for something along the caliber of my 'drowned ones' pictures, but without the quiet tragedy they have about them. I greatly like his expression, but I dislike, a lot, the seal tail. I was working without references on seal physiology, so it's probably got a fair amount of errors anyway. But yeah. Enjoy.

I think this is stunning. Selkies are one of my favorite legends and I enjoyed this.

I'm very happy that you drew the selkie as a man like they were in all the original legends :)

^_^ thank you! The old legends are all way awesome, and are the reason I love Selkie's to begin with, so I had to try and be true. <3
