I think plummeting helplessly must be one of the oldest things in dream… lore? Dream icons? Dream things? *shrug* New Fan Art update today, inspired by the dream sequence, by Jade Griffin: Thanks Jade! I have also updated the cast[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Tried to make the shadows and texturing on this one a little darker than the previous "desert landscape" backgrounds. I also think it's kind of funny how panel three could be interpreted as Selkie running away from an action movie explosion.
Two items. First, I want to say to those of my readers that live in the UK, I hope that you and those you care about are safe and unharmed while these riots have been breaking out. I was reading[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
For a brief time I considered having the centaurinas call their dance the Paul Pena, but that would imply Selkie knows about him, and it doesn't fit to me that an eight year old would know who Paul Pena is. I may be overthinking this a bit. ._. For those that don't get the reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioT_1zxsYME http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dnGj5YF8F0
Oh man, I had a busy busy weekend. My cousin got married this weekend! Congrats, Korie and Adam! I’d also like to name drop something, if I may. My aunt is working on a start-up business designing and selling non-piercing[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Before I settled on the concept of ballerina centaurs Amanda Keisha and Heather were, at one point, going to be magical wizard-knights dressed like Sailor Moon villains.
Happy Independence Day to my fellow Americans, and happy Selkie Update Day to everyone else. 😀 If you missed it, I had a holiday-themed sketch posted over the weekend. It involves dangerous acts of derring-do! I also have a huge[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I had to figure out a few basics of the orphanage floor plan for these backgrounds. It's four stories tall and shaped a bit like a lowercase g.
I am now back in town from my trip to Florida. We visited my brother’s future in-laws (they’re very nice people who treated us like family the entire time, stuffed us to the gills with food, and gave us mangos[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Thought I'd try a two-part shading style on the background this time around. See how it works.
I am happy to announce the return of the No-Longer-Quite-So-Secret Director Commentary! I think the Transcript widget will work better for allowing the extra comments without creating some of the frustrations the mouseovers were giving people. Just click anywhere in[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I tried to pay attention to lighting and shading direction in this one, with two light sources (a hallway light and the window). I'm so used to shading everything on the "Audience Left" for some reason. XD The policeman is named Officer Martin. I decided to name him after a background/cameo character from Rent. XD I'll talk more about the little boy on the next update.
Based on their source inspirations, I have decided that Heather’s new mom and dad are named Barbara and Kenneth. Feel free to groan. XD I have a few news items, but first (so it doesn’t get pushed to the very[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Today's edition of the Secret Commentary is empty, because Dave failed to come up with something for it.
She’s a bit self conscious. There is an alternate version of panel 5 that I edited because I thought it looked too silly and broke the mood. So, today comes with a deleted scene.

🙁 -EDIT- So, the website went down for a huge chunk of the day. Everything is all back up and running, sorry for anyone who had to postpone their bi-weekly Selkie fix. 😀 I also noticed that a few of[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

So, if the last panel of today’s strip feels like it’s coming a bit out of nowhere, you’re not incorrect. The last panel was originally very similar to the first one, but then I had a thought. “Wouldn’t an orphanage[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
