Been thinking about moving to thinner lines, finally figured I'd see how it looks. Been looking at drawings on deviant art and liking the thinner outline look.

I considered for a time having Felix spray ink upon seeing the sarnothi members, but changed my mind about throwing that bit into the story flow. Which is a shame, because Selkie's wearing such a ruinable dress...
Here’s a couple fun octopus escape videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvvjcQIJnLg Octopus attacking a crab. (Thanks, Jade!)
Little bit of artistic license on this one: out of water Felix would probably not be holding his head upright due to lack of buoyancy and bones.
Looked up a lot of strange and interesting trivia while reading up on octopi for this arc. Here's one: apparently octopis don't survive mating. Males die shortly afterward and females die shortly after the eggs hatch.
Telling off people who passed her up for adoption is kind of an ongoing revenge fantasy for Amanda.
I wrote the security guard in then out then in then out then in again. I'd like to avoid clutter and drag in the arc vis-a-vis extra character interactions, but I just can't see security NOT responding to a shouting kid.
Pohl strikes me as the type whose smartphone is filled with small casual games that he's played once or twice then forgotten about.
Fwoosh. Also, just feel like sharing the music I inked this strip to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMl8CraRBk0
Scripted sound effects for Panel 6, but I think it's more effective without.
I don't think I drew Selkie bouncing gleefully enough in Panel 5.
Linkbacks: Gregori and Hamud staring. Dr. Bunny-Me. Also, yesterday was the comic’s 5th birthday! Selkie (the story) is now FIVE! As is annual tradition, here’s a birthday sketch:
I make no claims towards the scientific or taxonomic accuracy of these fish. ;)
