The next selkie design for #selkiesummer, the crabeater seal (selkie)!

#art #seal #selkie #ocart #oc #characterdesign

Digital drawing of a selkie designed after a crabeater seal. Her expression is soft and easygoing, with a warm smile and half-lidded eyes. Short grey whiskers grow from her cheeks. There are curved, long faded scars on her left arm and right leg. She has dark greyish brown wavy hair and dark brown eyes. Her seal fur coat grey, the front being a slightly lighter grey color.

Instead of Mermay I've decided it's Selkie Summer time just so I have an excuse to draw a bunch of selkies and also so I have more than a month to do it

I'll be using the tag #selkiesummer for it
