Im Stuck In Waterloo World Purgatory

had an extremely cruel idea and unfortunately it was what got me to draw again

had a fascinating english class that resulted in the notes header “the forcefeminization of victor frankenstein”

"Give me back my skin."

I always hear myths about sailors stealing a selkie's skin, and the selkie marrying him even though he stole it. I know that it's because they had nowhere else to go, and he usually hid the skin, but I wonder what would happen if a selkie fought back?

This was made for art class, and my teacher wanted us to redraw a scene from a fairytale. I couldn't find any selkie myths where the selkie was aggressive, but I really liked the idea of a selkie fighting back and forcefully taking back what was stolen, so I kinda just bent the rules a bit, but it's still good. I still might get at least a B on it.

It was also my first time doing a color study. It's interesting seeing how much different the concept looks vs the final piece.

Color Study vs Final

(Plz reblog I spent 9 and a half hours on this and ik that the coloring is pretty choppy but it's also not AI so I still like it and I'd like more people to see it 🙏🙏🙏)

if you’re having a bad day, here’s a cute little marching band
