Description
An elderly bull orca prowls dark, moonlit waters as a storm approaches from over the mountains...Oh, looky! It's not an orca in profile nor is it a recycled drawing from the Dark Ages.
Over twenty layers were involved, and I learned how to do lightning in this one. A quick improvement from the shapeless mass I drew earlier, which is hiding in the scraps folder.
And I *still* hate drawing water.

I am sure drawing water is a challenge for many. But this art has three characters that I simply are fascinated by. Moon Orca and my love of lightning storms. well done detail work on orca skin and even the blowhole. One things that puzzles me about this situation in aquariums like sea world. water and electricity don't mix well. yet during a lightning storm, how are the orcas protected from the lightning?
