This reminds me of The Secret of R...i don't know how to spell the rest, i think it was Roan Inish?
The fisherman fell for a beautiful woman, and hid her selkie skin from her.
They had a family, and one day she found her skin and in spite of everything she had found as a human, she longed to go back, and returned to the sea.

You're very talented, beautiful work!

A man without arm hair is like a cake without icing...... It's still nice but it's just not the same.

Wow I love this picture story you have going, but this one has to be my favorite. I love how you reflected the light from the lamp on the surfaces, it really makes it pop. I like that you use shadows in all of the pictures, it gives them all an eerie feeling!

It's been some time since I've seen such excellent non-digital inks and colors.
Just brilliant work.
I feel the urge to bury my Wacom and start working my old brushes again. LoL.
Thank you for sharing and stay cool.

Lovely work, she's so pretty and he's so big and handsome! I really really like the greenish cast of the lighting and the shadows. It gives the feeling that the ocean and a storm are just outside.
