The Ghost In You

"Your captive heart, the belief you share
With a kiss eternal, the spirits of the square

Hold the whirlwind, don’t let it blow
Hope remains with the ghost in you
Hold the whirlwind, don’t let it blow
I seemed to know the ghost in you”

I was painting the initial blue coat I do on most of my orca paintings and I decided to leave it, I liked the tone it set. Done with Watercolours and acrylic. The black border (which is thicker irl, the scan cut it off!) was done in acrylic but Tilikum was done in watercolours.

You know, I've already written about AND drawn Tilikum for English class this semester...I knew I had an obsession, but now it's even flooding into school...

Very nice picture, he looks amazing with dem blue hues.

haha well as long as it doesn't compromise the quality of your work. There are far worse things to right about. 
Thanks, it was fun to try out something different with this one!
