My university’s magazine is holding a graphic short story contest (short graphic novel? Comic? What would you even call it?) this year and I’ve decided to take a go at it. I’m planning on doing a story based on the Selkie myth.

So here are some really, really basic concept sketches. More of a getting a feel for the characters.
I’m probably going to end up really simplifying the designs, though. The woman’s design, especially. I want it to have sort of a folk-tale feeling to it, and my normal style really don’t convey that. I’m liking the basic idea of the man, though. I think I might stick with that.
