A selkie Trott! My family and I watched a movie called 'Song of the Sea' which dealt with the myth of the Selkie in a unique way- from story plot to animation and art style! I defiantly would recommend the movie. It gave me inspiration to draw some of the Selkie Trott. {🐚If you Don't know!🌊} Selkie's are from Celtic folklore, described as very good looking humans that had the skins of seals with them. These skins would allow them to transform into sleek elegant seals- gentle creatures as well. A male selkie was very attractive, able to seduce mortal women easily. They would shed their seal skins and head off to seduce 'unsatisfied' women. If a woman went missing from the shore, it was presumed her Selkie lover had taken her to his watery domain. Selkie women on the other hand, would often have their seal skins taken and hidden away by mortal men- stopping the women from returning to sea. These tales often end tragically, when the skin is returned often times by the Selkies unknowing child! Please respect artists! I put hard work and personal time into my work- reblog, don't repost, give proper credit if reposting somewhere else, and report anyone you see posting this without credit please!
