Prehistoric Sky Whalesby *Simkaye

Traditional Art / Paintings / Fantasy

Or as they are called by the Caeli people: dragonfish.

Inspired by orcas, based loosely off of the Basilosaurus.
I'm not even going to finish detailing and polishing this up, I'm just so ready to stop working on it. I really dragged myself through the last half of it.

Prehistoric sky whales are one of those animals that just sort of always has it's fucking mouth open

_{11" x 8.5" acrylics on smooth bristol paper.

More work of planet Asera:}

Sky whales...fun idea. Whales need literally tons of food to survive and when you add flight to their energy requirements, well that's a lot of birds!

Anyhoo, you already know everything that's good about this painting - and once again, props for working with traditional materials - so let's get on to the other stuff.

You could do more with atmospheric perspective. When I saw the thumbnail, all three whales looked like they were in the foreground. The sky looks flat too. Some sort of color shift will probably help, along with changes in the size and texture of the clouds.

That's it. Keep 'em flying!
