Art Challenge: dutchorca

Here’s what I did on the first day of my uni mid-semester break! Finally got around to cleaning up and finishing my part of the art trade with dutchorca for the ‘Draw Eachother’s Art’ Challenge.

I chose their Keiko bookmark because I like big pecs and I can not lie the angle, lighting and just about the everything make Keiko look utterly angelic! I had a world of fun with it, the background, the pose - thank you for letting me draw it, Dutch! 

Please check out Dutch’s awesome art on their art-blog here: dutchorca-art . They are a hands-down magician with copics and ink!

EDIT: For the love of all that is orca-related and those huge pecs, please full view! The resizing has absolutely butchered this VvV

dutchorca You might find this interesting:

NPR, National Public Radio (here in the United States) did a segment today over lunch on their Fresh Air program where they interviewed a former whale trainer from Sea World (and I found that fascinating in and of itself, his recount of a particularly harrowing experience of whale aggression was enough to make me uneasy) and also two executives from Sea World.  I don’t remember one of them but the other was the Vice President of Veterinary Affairs.  I only really paid attention to the very beginning and the very end, I was driving to the store over my lunch hour today and only listened to it while it was in the car.

I don’t know how much you’ll take away from it but I thought you might be interested.  There’s a podcast you can subscribe to but the actual interview should be up on their website by this time tomorrow. :3  I’ll reblog here if you want with the link when it’s available!
