After spending the night searching for her pelt, the selkie reconciles with her new life.

Acrylishop. This is getting harder instead of easier. But I'm determined!

<edit> please full-view for full effect; the scaling does weird things with the value. </edit>

Well, did he hide it? So much comes across in his body language--I feel like I could write a book base on this image alone. He looks shy and taken-aback and well-meaning all at once.

I love your style of drawing! Have you got the projet to edit a comics?

I love this so much. This is one of my favorite fairytales, and you depict it beautifully. I especially love the detail you put into the rocks and the water. The selkie is lovely, and the look on her face is perfect for the situation. I actually sympathize with the fisherman in this too- something about the way you drew him, and his stance. Really cool

This is very creative. I love the colors and the mood this portrays.

I was sure I had faved this fantastic illustration before and I was desperate to find it again so here, fixed.
I love it. The gorgeous colors, the way you painted the seaweed/moss on the rocks, the mist, her pose, their expression - I could stare for hours, so thank you.

Wow... amazing!! I love selkies and am so happy to have found this art! The colours are stunning and I love her expression!

Is she happy about this, or no...? <8/

I think I fell in love with those two. OH GOD THE COLORS, the style... everything in your pictures is just perfect.
