Ok So after I saw this (leopard seals are my favorite animals) I really wanted to get a tattoo of it! Could I get permission to do so? I would feel guilty getting it without asking DX

every picture you post that has a scary looking thing with an open mouth, I find myself making a hissing-like sound effect to go with it.
...i really hope i'm not the only one who does that... (-llll-)

Is "Ekkalasq" an ancient meaning for seal, or is it the name of a certain seal monster from a legend or something? Just curious. I love your art. It reminds me of old legends I used to hear about creatures that would eat you if you came to close to the arctic waterès edge. I believe they were called Qallupilluit?

I think this is one of your best leopard-seal works. The language is very intriguing - it seems to me like a cross between Old Norse and Inuktitut.

hast du dir den vers nur ausgedacht? ist es überhaupt eine sprache?

Skia In reply to antipluesch [2012-11-03 20:04:55 +0000 UTC]

Es ist Seeleopardisch. Charakteristisch sind allgemein Zisch-und helle Grolllaute (vielleicht sollte man besser Grelllaute sagen?)Unterscheidet sich erheblich vom weichmäuligem Charakter andere Robbensprachen (wobei es dort enorme Unterschiede gibt, aber das würde jetzt zu weit führen).

Ekkalasq dürfte eigentlich soviel wie "Vogelstimme", "Vogelsprecher" o.ä. bedeuten. Ein legendärer Seeleopard aus langvergangnen Zeiten, der Heerscharen von Skuas und anderen Vögeln befehligte. Der Vers dort oben scheint mir ein kurzer Lobgesang zu sein. Ich forsche noch.

It's Leopard Seal tongue. Don't know exactly what it means, but it seems to be a short hymn of praise for Ekkalasq, an ancient Leopard Seal hero.

I keep listening to the voices.

ComradeK In reply to Skia [2012-11-05 21:55:44 +0000 UTC]

I imagined as much. I wondered if you were inspired by any actual languages. Mainly from the name Ekkalasq, which has something of a slight Inuktitut ring to it.

Der Kopf des Seeleoparden erinnert mich hier ein bisschen an einen Hai. War das Absicht?

Auf jeden Fall sieht's auch für eine grobe Skizze schön düster und lebendig aus!

Skia In reply to Anatoliba [2012-11-04 20:02:15 +0000 UTC]

Danke!

Das mit dem haiähnlichen Aussehen ist hier eher Zufall. Seeleoparden haben ein recht spezielles Aussehen, was bisweilen eher an Reptilien erinnert - habe ich hier sehr überzeichnet dargestellt

Anatoliba In reply to Skia [2012-11-05 14:54:48 +0000 UTC]

Ah, okay. Durch dieses Aussehen wirkt der Seeleopard nämlich besonders unheimlich.
