and here it is.

my 24 hour comic

took 22 hours. and then a little longer for some edits but. I’ve still got another hour till my 24 is officially up, and I’m definitely gonna be snoozing.

For having no planning except a selkie design and a rough concept of the girl, I think I did alright. I definitely pushed my self to try new things and, I’m happy about that. there are some things I’d like to tweak but… NOPE! IM DONE!

I also learned how much I can get done when I don’t distract myself so much. have to figure out how to rein that in haha.

also, if you’re curious about the title! fun fact time thanks to wikipedia (so it may or may not be true)

Selkies (also known as silkies or selchies) are mythological creatures found in Faroese, Icelandic,^[1] Irish,^[2] and Scottish folklore. The word derives from earlier Scots selich, (from Old English seolh meaning seal)

okay. sleep time. 

goodnightttt!!

OH YES SO GOOD

the reason the selkie girl was so scared when her coat was missing is because, in the folklore, men would entrap selkies and make them into brides by hiding their seal skin (the coat). the selkie has to stay with the person who hid their skin and can’t leave until they find it. usually men would find the skin while selkies became ladies for the day and left their skins hiding in cliff sides or rocks until they were ready to turn back into seals.
