Description
I swear I grew an extra pair of ovaries as I was drawing this. This is starting to look like My Little Pony cuteness territory here, and I'm not liking it XDThough it was fun drawing different Selkie ages ^__^
Also *InvaderDawn Should spot her Edlyn in here too.
Urgh, this makes me want to heave a little...

I imagine it like th mother is combing the oldest daughters hair, Edlyn is playing with the her younger sisters hair and the younger sister (who makes me think of a younger Oula) is plaiting her little sisters hair.

I just love their designs! It's funny how I found your art. I'm actually working on an idea where the main character is herself a Selkie, and I wanted to see some interpretations in history, but instead, found one of your characters in a search and your style immediately caught my eyes and I had to see more of your art. Great work!

But it's so cute! I really like it. And it is a good way to showcase the different ages and sizes.

Actually selkies are an already established part of mythology. There just aren't many (modern) depictions of them. They aren't as popular as dragons and unicorns, I reckon. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selkie

Oh, sorry. I misunderstood. I hope I wasn't too condescending.
True, there isn't much art of them and SJenny's ones are a lovely combo of sealness and mermaidness. :3

no you're fine. I didn't think you were being condescending, just informative.

Aw that'd adorable, I love how you gave them all the same... whisker eyebrows, thats a cool idea without making them cat-like.

PFFTITSALLCUTEANDSTUFF I like your take on selkies. It's pretty cool. I also like how you can draw nudity so subtly, where it's just a part of the picture and not all up in your face.

I love that that when they are pups they look more seal like, and gradually look more human up top as they age! Also, I love their whiskery eyebrows! Wonderful! <3

I like the way you draw selkies. It's a lot more interesting than just a human or seal form.

You're welcome, I like it when multiple characters from different people are put in one thing together and the one that looks and/or acts different is most of the time my favorite because different is good

I really like the interpretation of them as menfolk rather than shapeshifter.
Also I keep imagining them taking in scottish accents.
