Gosh, I'm such a procrastinator. Today I could finally start working on giftart I promised about a year ago... Lack of time, creativity and motivation were probably the causes of this delay.

Anyway, here's :icongordorca:'s giftart. A mother killer whale and her young calf investigating an underwater cave.
I really like the composition in this one, but I'm not really fond of the seabed... I had some trouble making it look believable and painting rocks is really not my specialty... But is was a nice exercise :)

Hope you like! And again sorry for the huuuuuuuuuuge delay...

One done, two more to go :painter:

Beautifully made! The pose of the left orca is great. I also like how you drew the surface. What filters did you use for it?

Thanks! :hug:

I first painted it with a variety of brushes and then I used the plastic wrap filter. Played around with it until I had the desired surface effect.
It's actually quite easy :)

This picture is an amazingly cute piece of work! I love how you used the colour, yet without making it overly glaring. It's a wonderful mixture! Very beautiful!

Beautiful! I really adore the background. I've wanted to do some coral/seabed stuff, but I have yet to rise to the challenge :).
