Just finished this one today! Yes, I'm still doing my "Antlered Kings" series, but this was just a break in between that and my duck stamp pieces. I've been playing Endless Ocean for the Wii recently and have been inspired by that as well as ~namu-the-orca and her lovely cetacean drawings. In fact, I'm even thinking that after my aforementioned series comes to completion and I finish my duck stamp entries, I may start a dolphin and whale series of sorts. I've never painted them all that much, but have always loved them--orcas and common dolphins are my personal favorites.

These are a small pod of atlantic spotted dolphins (which I've also always loved). I tried to get the image as close to the real life drawing, but the real drawing is a bit more of a sky-ish blue, not quite the cerulean blue that this is (it's still just as rich, though).

Watercolor pencils (without the water) on 9" X 12" sketchbook paper. No refs, so I understand if the anatomy/markings are a bit off.
