Don't full view. XD It looks terrible in full view.. you can see all the little details where I messed up :D Much, much better if you stand back and look at it ;p
I like how this came out. :D The water killed it. :doh: I think I used the scatter tool a bit too much.. :paranoid:
The photo ref I used can be found here (couldn't find where it was on the web again, so I uploaded onto my own server ^^; )
Lol I decided I didn't feel like waiting to submit this XD Sorry.. :paranoid:
I'm actually proud of this pic. :bucktooth: Yay! I think it's my best CGed pic yet :D
Was 5-7 hours of loooong photoshop fun, half of those hours were spent on the water :dead:
[Edit] Fixed up the "floating dorsal fin" XD

pic is (c) me ~poliwag30
(If someone steals a pic of mine, I'll chase after them with a knife; if they steal this one, I'll chase after them with a cannon, a knife, and my brother's smelly socks. :D)

I think the water is really good! I will admit though in 1 or 2 places it looks a little weird but its still very good. It looks like you've been doing realism things for a loong time! The orca looks especially amazing. Its hard to tell if its real or not!! Must :+fav: this.

P.S. The orca looks soo cute and happy!

Lurve it! Looks better then the real one! ^.^

ONE baby thing you could fix: The spot where the water covers the dorsal fin, it looks like it got sliced off!

But otherwise, this is an AMAZING PICCY!

Don't ask questions if you don't want to know the answers.
