Sky Whale Conceptby *Simkaye

Traditional Art / Paintings / Fantasy

This is an early concept for my sky whale design.
It seems inappropriate to call this a sketch, but I put little time or effort into it. I really just needed an excuse to play with my expensive new acrylics for the first time.

_{8.5" x 11" Blue, white, and brown acrylic paint on smooth Bristol paper.
No references.}

*Simkaye Nov 23, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Thank you!
They're definitely among my favourites too

I want to see more of these. They're sooooo cool!

(If I ever find the time, I want to draw your lovely whale species

)

*Simkaye Jan 4, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Thank you!! I'm really glad you like them. They're still MAJOR works in progress, so I don't have many guidelines for their design yet. Except that each breed is loosely based off of a real whale species (this one was derived from humpbacks), they all have rounded sea cow tails, multiple fins, multiple eyes, and bio luminescent dots trailing down their bellies. And they're much larger than their sea whale counterparts.

~Nivvy26 Jan 4, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Oooh, I really like the bio luminescent attribute a lot

~Splashie Nov 6, 2011

Very cool! I like the texture and design! I don't know if you watch Doctor Who or not, but I feel like this creature could appropriately make an appearance on that show

Thank you! I do catch it on BBC America every now & then, but I struggle following the plot, I'm totally lost most of the time. hahah
