Description
My new art featuring one of my favorite wild orcas - southern resident Ruffles J1. He has been missing since November 2010.

The icon of all southern resident community also was the oldest SR male at the moment. Maybe he died because of his age. No one knows.

Some about artwork:
I started to work on it in February and I was so scared, because I didn't do something "big" and complex like this earlier: I had to learn how to draw water, splashes, waves, reflections and many other things. The main problem was water: I found not so many tutorials and they didn't help me. I had to learn by myself. I don't think it looks good, but for me it is already a big step in my development.

Total:
Time – ~15 hours maybe (excluding time for training)
Tools – Paint Tool SAI x Photoshop CS6 + Bamboo Pen&Touch Tablet

Process
