Childlike_Vampire (Feb 15, 2004)

WOW I love the water. Lovely splashes. This looks very realistic, awesome job. ^_^

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Feb 15, 2004)

This is absolutely beautiful. I love the way you did the water. So glad you had it in you to do it again! (Don't know if I have that kind of patience, lol) *Glares back at little thumbnail x where just posted picture* heh UGH. Your whales are just splendid, tho. :)

Gigandas (Feb 15, 2004)

Phew...finally got to this one^^;.I was on the phone first, then working on my final touches on my drawing, then I was eating dinner and changing my icon^^;;.Anyways, I just wanted to say WOW, you are definitely improving your skills rapidly.I was in shock when I saw this.The killer whales are great^^.Umm, just a tip for next time is when you make a splash effect, the splash should have different size water drops flying everywhere or it can tend to look a little unrealistic.But I am truly amazed though...*speechless*

laurael (edited Feb 15, 2004)

Thanks for the tip Gigandas. I really suck at 'any' kind of water droplets, splashes...or the nature thereof. Now to just practice, practice...

Alicia (Feb 17, 2004)

This turned out wonderful , beauty that is worth looking at is worth repeating.Although the hills don't really blend with the rest of the details .

staci (Feb 17, 2004)

oooooooooooooo

Cordelia_Pink (Jul 11, 2004)

WoW *speechless* this is better than all those CGI effects and some other realistic animations attempted for special effects in movies. lol I love the whales and the waters. I think those two things really brought the picture to life, but realisticality (lol is there such a word?) isn't always the best thing, I guess it is how you made the picture looking really appealing.

aznanime93 (Sep 9, 2004)

man that looks real lol

Yuugi-chan (Sep 12, 2004)
