Description
More freehand practice, using Aves in the same, at-surface idea as "Fogged In" did. No outline or fancy title required.Related content

Thank you. ^_^
My pleasure. I'm only sorry I'm don't have a better handle on a more realistic, natural style of marine art, so that I might have more work like this to share.

It is really nice that we have this one.
Thanx so much again.

Thank you. It's by no means my best, but that's what happens when I paint with a mouse and no outline.

Thank you.

Thank you. Just had to channel all my memories of the opening sequence of "Free Willy", and this is what I got. Hopefully one day I can work up to a at-surface portrait of his whole pod.

That would be a huge project! His pod has a lot of members, right?

Yeah. Anywhere between 9 and 12, depending on what part of their collective story one is referring to.

Definitely a big project!
Off topic, but I keep forgetting to ask - does your gray orca have a name other than "Gray Orca"? I've seen her referred to as "Orkid", is that her actual name, or...? o=

We'll see if and when it happens.
No, I never picked one out. If she's been referred to as Orkid anywhere, it's a mistake.

I think it was on a stamp, but I could be wrong. o= I'll remember that!

It was probably this stamp you're thinking of. It does feature my alt-self, but she is, as I said, nameless, or can be referred to as "grayorca".

AHA, yup, that's the one!
Gotcha

Thank you. It's surprising how even the simplest of ideas can take their fair share of time to accomplish.

Thanks. I was very happy with how that came out.
