Here's a painting I started a while ago but only got to finish it today:



Orca - 2013
See it on DeviantART / Visit Luminescent

Some months ago, I dreamed of a beautiful orca in the ocean, close to a shore where I stood. It left me with a very strong feeling and impression, and since then I've felt a connection to the marine mammal. For the series Luminescent, I decided to illustrate two orcas.

The orca whale, also known as killer whale, is a carnivorous marine mammal found in all oceans and most seas. They are known to live in matriarchal societies and each pod has its own unique dialect. Orcas are extremely intelligent and playful. They are also present in Native American tradition, often regarded as the ruler or guardian of the sea.

Holy s*** you're good
