Description My half of an art trade with the way-more-awesome-than-me ~dmillustration , finally FINALLY done super late. I hope she likes it! She asked for something involving a dolphin skull, and I…sorta got carried away.

These were originally just sort of generic ocean dolphin ghosts, but then someone told me about the recently-extinct baiji (Yangtze river dolphins), and I was like LITERAL GHOST DOLPHINS YESSS and changed them.

(I am POSITIVE I have messed up the anatomy and probably blended multiple skull types, please forgive me cool kids who know dolphin anatomy! It’s super hard to find decent skeletal references for these guys!)

Graphite on gessoed paper (which is amaaaazing to draw on, try it), A4.

I agree with HareTrinity!  Eerily graceful.  Beautifully done!    But now I'm sad.  I didn't know about the baiji becoming extinct.  I'm always sad to hear about humanity losing another bit of wonder from our world.   T_T
