wanted a glowing, magical effect, so loads of bubbles and glimmer, illuminated spray and waves, where the warmer tones of the Selkies hair meets the ocean and shifts to the cold underwater vibes

it was hard to pick a story for the cover- they were all gorgeous! But I loved @marisca.bsky.social's story of a connection between two women of the sea. Check it out!

Selkie details. She's based on a combination of old photos of women from the Orkney Isles, where selkies are common folklore. I wanted her to seem warmer and less lonely than the mermaid, so i gave her warmer tones & sea foam colours rather than deep sea iridescents. click prev post for more!
