Wanted to try again at a fursona (love my other one, la Creatura, but they're a bit complicated!) Tried to keep it simple and soft, and boiled it down to two creatures I love: seals and donkeys! behold. my new fursona! a Sonkey! name wip??? I am amazed at how attached I am to them already! they are also very inspired by my favourite cuddly toy, Sweep! I love them a lot!!! uses any and all pronouns but defaults to they/them :3

3 seal species I see commonly mistaken for each other, and how to tell them apart!
starting off with
Harbour seals/common seals
Harbour seals have a wide variety in coat colours, some having a more sandy coat whereas others have more spotty or dark coats. I find the easiest way to tell them apart is in their face shape!
Pups are spotty with short baby fur, they tend not to be too fat as compared to species that live in colder climates.
Spotted seals
Spotted seals are well... spotted! they have a light underbelly and a darker grey top side, their whole bodies are covered in spots.
Spotted seal pups are fluffy and fat, they have a white coat. Not to be mistaken for harp seal pups as they lack the darker snout that harp seals have.
Ringed seals
Ringed seals are smaller than harbour and spotted seals, they have ring like markings along their backs and have shorter snouts. They live in cold climates so are very blubbery and round. Male ringed seals get dark wrinkly faces as they reach maturity.
Ringed seal pups are very small and white, with short snouts and little eyebrow dots.
hope this helps!

Those other marine mammals
For the UK bycatch project, I also had to illustrate some other species than the cetaceans I am so familiar with. Animals with legs and fur and nails... foreign concepts for sure. Jokes aside, it's always a challenge to illustrate a species you don't really know. I always wonder whether a seal or otter scientist would also approve of these, or if mistakes would immediately jump out to them (like they do for me with cetacean illustrations).
I don't really like how the harbour seal turned out, it looks too much like a stuffed animal to me. And the grey seal was a challenge because frankly, those males in real life look like weird muppets. So when drawing you're constantly torn between "does it look weird because I'm messing up or because I'm doing well?" haha. In the end I'm happy with it though! And the otter I'm very fond of. Such keen eyed creatures, I hope to see one in the wild some day.

Info about seals!
There are a lot of species I put - hence the read more. If I've missed any that you want me to add lmk /gen
This post used to have wayyy more links, and had the Baikal seal and the Antarctic Fur seal, but tumblr wouldn't let me post it without deleting stuff T-T
I hope you find this useful and if you do end up reading through some of these links let me know your favourite fact! /nf
