Link to my carrd (cara, artfight, etc.)
character up top is named willow (hes a cowboy/pirate in another universe but a selkie in this one)
i have like no proper sketches of this bc it’s difficult to draw but ive been figuring out selkies in my fantasy world. So far ive decided that they turn their skin into a cocoon within which they transform between human/seal. And going with the classic wearing their skin as a coat or clothing item bc its fun and fresh.
Solitary species, women notably larger than men (based on leopard seals). Each individual has their own unique pattern (like a fingerprint) that stays on their fur when they change into a human form. Their size as a seal is also the exact same weight and whatnot as when in human form, so it transfers over evenly.
Also some cultural shit where selkies are considered good luck and fisherman/sailors avoid messing with selkies to avoid bad luck + getting killed, but others who aren’t familiar with them occasionally try and steal their furs (very strong and protective material that also happens to be pretty).
They mingle among humans in order to steal fish from fishermen usually. Fishermen let it slide bc selkies are useful and can find fish schools easily + avoid bad weather.
Some environment sketches, birds, giving some more thought to Screamers design, and Faerr
a bg study i did bc i was reminded that i need painting/background/nature/landscape practice. all of them.,.,.. badly. i was struggling for most of it but i like how it turned out so

Star guy is named baetyl (pronounced beetle). other guy is named frey but hes not relevant here. anyways sometimes you stumble into a temple of night and theres a very fucked up angel inside.
