Whale Rider — Description
This one was much harder than I thought it would be and to tell you the truth, as much as I like it I feel it was not my best work. With all that being said, it was fun to work on and it may get a re-edit but until then I must give credit where credit is due...

provided the background for this, I made only minor changes but to see it in its original view go here

provided the Killer Whale which is magnificient in my opinion, having seen them in real life in their real habitat. If you want to see their capture of it you can visit it here

provided the Whale Rider and really furnished the title to this piece as well. To see how she looked before I put her on the Killer Whale go here . I did my best to make her look a little more wet, but I kind of missed the mark on that. However, my skill grows with each piece so when I am sure I am able I will re-edit this with a better wet look.

I have to gush a little, you see the Whale Rider was made just for me to use in a manipulation and I cannot tell you how honored and humbled I feel for this gift. The couple of samples I was provided to choose from made me feel as if I were there for the shoot and that too was so very special, thanks for sharing it with me. I only wish there were more that I could do to show my deeply felt appreciation for the models and poses provided to not only me but all of dA as well.

is the Whale Rider model so I wanted to include a link to her page as well. I am so full of thanks I think I will bust!

has permission to use this image in their galleries.

UPDATE - has created a nice dedication based on this. If you want to see it, go to the link located here . Be forewarned, it not like this, though this picture is framed in it.

Here is a new artist who has done something like this one, which I think is rather stunning, maybe it is time for me to revisit this and use my honed skills in updating it.
