Paul is one heckuva school bus.

You all know how much I love sharing fan art submissions, yes? Get ready for three more! 😀
Firstly, Jepix sent this cute drawing that re-imagines Selkie and Todd as characters from Nichijou (also known as My Ordinary Life):

Blackbird94 sent this drawing of Selkie looking adorable:

And lastly, Anna Rodman sent a family portrait:

Thank you all!
I've had this dream-sequence chapter opening running through my head for MONTHS. I am so glad to finally get to it.
All the fan-arts were excellent! but I think the family portrait sequence was my favorite … the action I guess. LOL
Love Paul. Ahhh … to sleep, perchance to dream …
Ahh… to dream the dreams of a child once more… now all I see is war… oh to dream the dreams of a young child once more… If I were but a child once more… I would dream these dreams of fish and flight… such as Selkie, the child of the unknown… oh to dream the dreams of a beautiful child once more.
A Soldier.
Also… I like how Selkie looks in the last panel of the Family Portrait guest comic. The art style makes her look almost real… like she is a real life person that someone drew from a Polaroid.

this was great i love her Amelia Earhart getup and the swan dive, The fan art is great, i really love the family portrait where she dives at he dad
Fir…
Aw, man.
Then I’ll just say that the artwork is spectacular.
Seriously, that family portrait is easily some of the best webcomic fan art I’ve ever seen, and definitely up there with the better fan art in general that I’ve seen.
Paul also happens to be the best school bus ever. Catbus still retains the title of best bus in general, though.
This page. If someone asks about Selkie, this is probably one of the pages I’ll show. Only this might be tad misleading 😉
Ha ha, I can only imagine what these pages must be doing to a new reader.
Love the page, Selkie dreamland is an interesting place. And I have to say that the family portrait is my favorite fan art yet
Further dreaming we go! And for someone who has done fan art in the past, even I agree that the family portrait is fantastic and shows great skill and understanding of your characters:) Wishing for a superfan for our webcomic, too!
Anna, you are awesome, awesome I say!!!
X3 Wow, Selkie is quite the dreamer.
Todd, somebody, wake her up!! I don’t know how much more of this confusing flying-fish business I can take!
The fanart is quite excellent, the family portrait sequence is definitely my favorite.
I LOVED the family portrait. SOOOOOO ADORABLE!!!
Oi, Dave, almost forgot, I thought about something, what gave you the idea for Selkie? And can you please, for the love of all things holy update the “cast” page, I’m so sick of seeing awesome WebComics NEVER updating them, it’s freaking confusing down the line and for newbies.
Selkie originated from a drawing I did between phone calls while working at a tech support center. Something about the drawing grabbed me, I started doodling variations and dialog and tossing around backstory ideas, and next thing you know I am drawing comic pages.
I have to admit you’ve caught me regarding the cast page. I haven’t updated it since Selkie was still in the orphanage! O_O At the very least, her new extended family needs a spot on there.
Thank you!
😀
anna, whoever you are, thats the cutest thing ever seen! please marry me!
In Dreams, Shoes Don’t Pinch :3
FFFAAAUGHomg
that famly picture comic
so cute
ah
Does anyone else find it remarkable that an aquatic creature like Selkie would dream about flying? You´d think she´d dream about being back in her underwater homeland – something like the “queen of the fishies” dream she told Todd about.
That’s an interesting thought Sir Chaos … but! Us terrestrial humans also dream of flying (a frequent theme in dreams from what I’ve read), perhaps it is the same sort of freedom for Selkie as for the rest of us?
The first and second panel remind me of something out of a Miyazaki film. Something about the expression and the sudden *foomph* movement.
Anyway, I love this comic so much!
awww i love the family portrait fan art!!!
I love the last fan art! It’s awesome! Haha, what a family ^^
And I also love today’s page. Selkie looks so cute and that Paul guy has such a good design ^^ Dave, you’re improving quite a lot 🙂 This has a lot of dynamism 🙂
