Behind this image;;
:bulletblack::bulletblack::bulletred::bulletwhite: 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! :P 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 :heart:



(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!?)

How fabulous is this! I love the entire idea and the way you presented it... totally unique!
:iconlaynisample:
wow... i absolutely adore that. Its gorgeous. The way that you did the clouds and all the different views of the whales is amazing, and i am once again awestruck by your talent at the graphic arts.

Oh wow, that came out great. Totally not what I thought you had planned for this, though I was thinking something similar just not with an Orca, lol. You really did quite an awesome job on this one.

Oh, is that a new signature/watermark? You really placed it well in the picture.

Amazing, definitely wouldn't have guessed Orcas! Reminds me of that Sea World ad with the whales going all over the cities...

Hmmm.... something profound, will work on that

No, really, you should go see that new Harry Potter movie.
:iconspirit-of-the-fire:
This is great! I love the way you did the water, it really seems to fit the piece. It makes me think of wisps of cloud, but still looks like water. And the depth is just fantastic, it really looks like everything's going way off into the distance! And for the most part, everything looks very natural together, which is hard to do with a manip like this. Great job!
