It was brought to my attention that I forgot my own anniversary on Friday! As is tradition, here is a sketch of a 4 year old Selkie: Thanks for four years of Selkie, everyone!
Jessie should also probably say something about climbing on the library tables...
Got a fanart from Saokara yesterday of Selkie’s Happy Face: Thanks for the nightmares, Saokara!
This library scene went through two versions before I arrived at this final sequence of events. Version 1 was more physically aggressive. Truck tried to jump Selkie, she ran away. She climbed the bookshelves and taunted him by running from shelftop to shelftop, using misdirection and trickery to confuse and bewilder him as to her location. I think it would have made for a fun sequence, but it would have gotten Selkie in a hell of a lot of trouble to be jumping across bookshelves like Batman. Version 2, Truck wanted to sit and talk with her instead of wanting to pick a fight with her. Conversation entailed Truck demanding Selkie apologize for kicking him, with threats to keep hurting her friends if she didn't. The whole thing was just a bit more sinister and methodical than I felt was fitting for Tommy and it didn't really fit with any of his pre-established behaviors. Plus the whole concept of "assaulter demanding his target apologize for defending herself" was just a bit too creepy to go through with and not really something that feels right for the character's age range to be doing.

Took my time to try and get the Big Friendly Smile juuuuust right. XD
Had a great time at Anime Central last Saturday! Thanks a bunch to those who managed to find me, sorry I had to do it in such an awkward way. Next year I hope to get on the ball early[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
One of my favorite character traits of Selkie is how she can be both a little sweetheart and a vindictive cuss.
Never make your threats openly. Day trip to ACEN tomorrow! Looking forward to it. 😀 Sorry to be mentioning it so frequently, but since I am squatting in a common area instead of the Artists Alley I just wanna be[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
“Selkie, want some peanut chicken?” “Lets me tells you whats I likes ands whats I HATES abouts that ideas…”
Thought this layout would be more interesting than my original draft of layering Selkie's first few lines of dialogue over two or three panels of Truck climbing stairs.
Quick reminder to everyone that I am going to make a daytrip to this year’s Anime Central where I will make myself available for anyone who wants to meet-and-greet and say hello. I don’t have a table of any sort,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Almost gave Jessie cartoony flailing anime arms in panel 4. Not quite sure she's THAT big of a spaz though. XD
It’s not Selkie related but I gotta share this. Little Shop of Horrors is one of my favorite movies, but I only just yesterday learned that apparently the movie was intended to have a darker ending. Check this gorgeousness that[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The time for Do-Overs has passed. – – – – – As you all know I love sharing fan-representations of Selkie. So I had a good chuckle when a cameo appearance in Everyday Heroes was brought to my attention. Thanks,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
