Description Subtitled "Ring around the Grump"
Christmas present for !!!

There is a bit of a story behind this one... it is based on Hudson (in the front) and Kandu (in the back). One day I watched Hudson swim circles around Kandu, Kandu was doing what he did best - nothing! lol... it took a good 15 minutes for Kandu to get pissed enough to chase Hudson away. The pair of them were so cute together... miss them both...

Started last night, and finished this afternoon... overall I'm pretty happy with it

Merry Christmas Aimee!!! Hope you like it!

O' Aelia!!!! I absolutely LOVE this! A very calming and peaceful piece of perfection! I am sorry I did not see it sooner, I noticed it was put up almost a week ago...

I am devoting tonight to go through submitted deviations instead of responding to others. I am beyond flattered, this is just simply wonderful!!!

Amazing It's a shame the watermark goes over his eye in the full view, but evenso I can tell the eye looks beautiful. You always draw beautiful eyes The only thing I can pick at is Hudsons right pec seems to be tapered too much at the end. But once again, lovely work. And I loved reading your description. XD
" Kandu was doing what he did best - nothing!"
Haha, that cracked me up LOL

Thank you so much!
Sorry about the watermark, I trust you, but not the world lol... that website with all the stolen artwork just provided me with more reason to keep watermarking my work... although every time I post something I tell myself that my next project must be a better watermark!
You're right, that one pec does seem a little bit pointy... ah well, I know myself well enough to know I'll never fix it
Thanks again!
Thank you for ing as well!

Awww Hudson and Kandu!
I love the playful look on Hudson's face, he looks like he's getting into trouble!

This is beautiful!

I love the expression of the Orca and the blue tones of the water. You have the amazing ability to get colours to blend into one another naturally, it makes your shading look floorless! 8D

Awesome job!
