Just a random new OC that I came up with...that's pretty much it. Whether or not I'll be using Sapphire for anything else in the future will depend on motivation and popularity.
Selkies do interest me though, they're pretty much the werewolves of the sea, I tried to make Sapphire's true form look like a cross between a seal and a sea-lion with a human-hair like mane as well as more 'elfish' ears so that it's obvious she's not a normal sea creature...but didn't want to do the stereotypical mermaid look that a lot of people do, since Selkies DO NOT look like mermaids at all according to the real mythology on this mythical being.
I actually made this before christmas but lost motivation to complete it until now; because I am currently under house-arrest due to Flu...and not just any Flu, that new Australian Flu that is currently plaguing the UK (yep, apparently even a bloody common virus like a cold can potentially kill you from Australia!) So I'm bored senseless right now and can't even lift a pencil to paper due to the constant sneezing, coughing, and of course the heavy-headed feeling we all get when struck with cold or flu.
With a bit of luck I'll be back on track with my projects and people's commissions next week if not sooner. ^^;

Cute Selkie!! She’d look cool with webbed fingers and toes in her more human form on the left, too!!
Maybe, but I prefer to stick to the real mythology on most of the stuff I draw such as this one.
