Description Taking a breather from SVTFOE fanart, I refreshed an old character design.
Meet Bradaigh, my Selkie boy. Naive, excitable, loyal and cheerful, just 21.

Here's the old version: sta.sh/021szj2z85k8

There's another boy in the story,

A great character with a very pleasant appearance and personality! I do love him so!
I didn't know about Selkies (which I looked up, and discovered to be rather interesting), but thanks to you, now I'm quite a fan!

Love me a selkie

I like that his appearance changes when he's wearing his coat (or rather, when he isn't?)

Very nice.  What sort of story is it?

I love selkie too, they're like merfolk but cuter <3

He got a haircut when he came to land, the thing that truly changes are the eyes

I can barely call it a story, it's more like a pile of ideas
I have an introduction and a set of 10 rules for selkie
but the basic is either "Boy meets Selkie, shenanigans (and maybe love) ensues"

Hehe, sounds promising.
If you have a setting and characters but no plot, then a helpful thing to find one is to ask 'what do my characters want and what is stopping them from getting it?' and also 'why?'
I.e.: why did the selkie come to land?
(Sorry if that's patronising, it's just I've been there)

Tomm Moore's a great director!! Huge props to all those animators

Out of all his movies, I think the Secret of Kells was my favourite
