  11. You’d know her house by the drawn blinds –
    by the cormorants pitched on the boundary wall,
    the black crosses of their wings hung out to dry…

  16. "Captain of the Black Bones", my entry for the 20th challenge of @digitalpaintingschool "Sails of Black Bones"! :)
    I portraited a character with seal / sea leopard traits, which's coat is made from the stolen Selkies's pelts. He drives them to capsize the boats as their self-proclaimed king!

  21. And here we are: more Selkies!

    In Celtic, Norse, Faroese and Icelandic mythology, selkies (also spelled silkies, sylkies, selchies) or
    selkie folk, meaning ‘seal folk’ can change from seal to human form by shedding their skin. The legends tell of seal fairies or elves who choose to come ashore in human form, and sometimes have human families. 🧵
