Description Finally another one! I made a clay sculpture of another one of my favorite wild orcas, J22 aka Oreo from the SRKW community. I also have her adopted which will expire in December :'D
I hope you will agree with me that I made this look pretty accurate to the real individual!
But I realized later that I should have made the area right before the tail fluke thinner....and maybe the dorsal fin smaller? and ah, I'm really bad at keeping the paint job clean >_< 
Critiques are welcome...I learn something new every time I make these.

This is about 9.5 inches (24.13 cm) long. 
Here are extra photos and angles: sta.sh/21wz02kh5hnp

Materials used: Aluminum foil for base, Aluminum wires, Original Sculpey polymer clay, Acrylic paint, and Polyurethane water based sealer.

It actually does look very accurate. The shape and posture of the body is so lifelike I am very impressed. The card is in the way so I can't really tell, but it does look like it could be thinner around the tail; however, the dorsal fin looks just fine.

Thank you so much!! I'm glad you think the dorsal looks fine, I will try to change how I make the tail look next time!

This is lovely! I love the mussel shell for the base, and the little salmon.
