DANG it's been a while since I've uploaded to dA!
A few weeks back, I went to watch Finding Dory with one of my pals, and I distinctly remember marvelling at the scene where the rays are migrating. Dory & Nemo are just there, watching overhead as this swarming flock (fever) of rays swim by. It was something about that scene that was just magical. I remember seeing the concept art behind that scene too, and I'm pretty sure that it's that very scene which inspired this piece. An overwhelming beauty of repetition, I suppose.
I can't put to words how excited I was to finally watch the film though. I LOVED Finding Dory, and that was yeaars back. So to finally go back to the cinemas and basically relive my childhood, it was so exciting and nostalgic at best. I've always absolute adored Finding Nemo not just because of the storyline, but mainly because of the art. Being able to see the ocean come to life on screen like how Disney/Pixar does it, it's just magical!

Oh wow this is gorgeous, especially with those rays! I love how neat the edges on all of them are. And the girls pinkish lips set off the blue. I really love how she fades into the background, as do some of the rays. The feel of this whole piece is so serene, with underlying energy it seems. This may be my new favorite, especially since I love rays! c:

WOOHOO! Thanks a tonne pal
I never realised how powerful rays were in terms of shape and silhouetting, and the way that they can even be used and laid out to create such soothing patterns.

I'm sure that scene must have been wonderful and you appear to have done a wonderful job yourself. The scene is reminiscent of the flying whales in Fantasia II. Great work as usual.
Thanks for submitting to . Have a great day.
