Behind this image;;
This image is dedicated to those really amazing artists that I have had the privaledge of getting to know since I have been here, the ones that have come to be some of the bestest friends I have ever had. Also dedicated to my watchers and those who have ever favved a piece of my work. Their faithfulness to my artwork has allowed me to grow from strength to strength. And though I would love to thank you all individually, now thanks to DeviantART's spam control I cannot get around the many people in the amount of time that I have. I'm sorry.

So this was the piece that you were supposed to be guessing what it would become... shocked? Did anyone guess Orcas? Haha... funnily enough even after I said that it wasn't horses or wolves, some of you still guessed horses...! Gahh... comon' I'm not that obsessed with them! jkjk. <3
I cannot claim full originality for this piece as Disney's Fantasia 2000 did something similar but with blue whales; though the overall outcome was intensly different with them actually jumping out of water not clouds and water! But still I created a signature for Alyssa on Surreal Studios a longggg while back that was orca's surrounded by stardust jumping from clouds in the moonlight; and always thought that I would make it larger scale eventually.
The water is purely experimental/slightly fantasy looking; it isn't supposed to look particularly smooth or anything fanastical; just different from the norm I guess.
All the same; thank you again, and I hope you enjoy, if you like it and want to see more orca art please say; I actually really enjoyed making it! ^^

With Peace



(I hope that I don't have to regret not watermarking this big and bright across the horse! If you have any sense at all, or know how hard I fight for my art, then you'll know that taking this would be a VERY bad idea, I trust you're not brain-dead enough to do it anyway!?)

This is not a freebie!
-- Steal this and I will make ginger bread cookies of your body like the killer did in Black Christmas!

cantabile-reaper [2009-05-28 15:33:31 +0000 UTC]

The movement in this piece is wonderful. I know you submitted this a while ago and probably don't have time to read through all your comments, but I just want to let you know how awe-inspiring this is. It seems like the piece is always changing -- as if you could look away and look back and there would be another orca emerging from the clouds. You captured the light reflections perfectly, and the water is dreamlike. I love the way you blended the clouds. It almost looks like the thick foam waves across the surface of the ocean, and the orca leaping straight up next to the moon is ... wow. The water wisps on its fin is almost ghostlike and wonderful. Colors are great, very smooth, and the text accents the piece but doesn't overwhelm. I don't know what else to say without rambling further --- great job. Why doesn't this have a DD?

Maybe this sounds weird, but it almost seems like they are trying to clean the sky. Maybe because the effects you have coming off of them looks like spiderwebs as well ^.^ I dunno, nice that you trued something different. I haven't quite gotten to that point yet...

Oh my
This is so gorgeous. Definitely not something you would expect but you did awesome anyway. I've always loved orcas, although horses are my fav animal. They're just so beautiful, well I love whales and dolphins in general.
The water effects add such a nive effect to this.
It's just so... magical!
