A Selkie is a creature from Irish, Scottish and Faroese folklore. They are said to be seal-like creatures that can transform into humans by shedding their seal skin. Selkies are often portrayed as beautiful and mysterious creatures, and in some stories they are said to be able to control the sea and the weather. In many folktales, Selkies are believed to take human form, often marrying and having children before returning to the sea. They are often depicted as being shy, and if a human finds a selkie’s skin, they can force the selkie to stay in human form, but they will be forever longing to return to the sea. --- This is an original, one of a kind marker/ink coloured illustration.
