Selkie in the Submerged City — Concept Art

Concept art of a selkie in a flooded city at twilight. A female figure with flowing wet hair, hints of a seal’s tail glimmering beneath water, and a torn sealskin cloak draped over her shoulders. She stands on a submerged street, water like glass reflecting neon signs and ruined skyscrapers that rise as islands. The scene focuses on painterly, cinematic lighting, soft brushwork, and a moody palette of blues, teals, and warm copper reflections from streetlights. Nearby wrecked cars, toppled statues, and submerged stairwells poke through the water as bubbles rise. The mood blends melancholy and hope, with a dramatic perspective and sense of scale that suggests a world where humans and sea-kin coexist in the flooded metropolis.
