Selkie in a Watercolor Library of Light

An ethereal watercolor illustration of a selkie in a magical library. A graceful figure with long, dark, damp-looking hair sits at an ornate wooden desk among towering shelves filled with ancient tomes. Her upper body is human, while a shimmering cloak of sea water drapes from her shoulders and her seal tail curls beneath the chair. Soft washes bleed into each other, creating cool blues, aquamarine, lavender, and silver with warm golden glow from hanging lamps. Floating lanterns hover between shelves and runes glow softly on the book spines. Dust motes drift in shafts of light; the scene is quiet, dreamy, and full of underwater-tide magic rendered in textured watercolor on rough paper.
