For Whom the Man Drowns


A character I adopted from an egg on DeviantART--a selkie! I think I'm going to use him for a comic in which he becomes entangled with a young teenage girl who steals his pelt and he learns some damn humility.

This selkie doesn't have a name pronounceable in our tongues, so the girl gives him the nickname of Marmaduke (pending). He is a Californian harbor seal who is a complete narcissist only in love with himself. He enjoys drowning women and has a reputation in the area for doing so. He can often be found staring at himself in some reflective surface, which was the inspiration for this picture other than a character model. I imagine he's staring at himself in a mirror or glass.

I tried to practice making him look the same from all angles. The first picture was an experiment with drawing him on the computer from a concept sketch I did in my sketchbook, so it doesn't quite fit in with the others. Uhhh... Well, they all kind of don't look like they fit in with each other!
