Description
Athena2004 - 2009
Something I started ever since I heard that Athena had passed away. I had it sketched up, then couldn't find the motivation to finish it.
Then I saw *Chaotica-I 's dedication to her and got inspired. And *Chaotica-I also mentioned that she would like to see my picture of her, and I know how much Athena meant to her, so I decided to finish it.
So really, it was started for my own reasons, but finished for
Hope you like it, Aelia

Wow, this is beautiful. So sad she passed away, but when did she, and how?

Thank you
It's not certain when she died or the cause of death. She passed away in the 2008/2009 off season of the park, probably around Spring 2009.
Kiska unfortunately hasn't had a good run with her calves. She's had 5, including Athena, and her longest living calf was Hudson, being 6 at his death. There was a calf that only lived 2 months, and the rest passed at 4years of age.

Thanks you wanted to tell me this, tough it is such a sad thing.
Really unfortunate that she is having a hard time with the calves, it should also be vey sad for her to lose all of her babies. I hope one day she'll get a good and healthy calf that will grow old with her. Unfortunately the best die youngest

Oh, this is such a beautiful tribute to her. It's so realistic, and the detail is amazing. Her eye in the bottom one is so expressive, it really looks just like her. <3

Wow... I don't even know what to say besides that... simply wow.
Ok... so I found some words
This so so wonderfully done, I can't get over the eye in the bottom one! You've done an amazing job capturing her here, it is so vibrant and alive, just like she was.
I completely and utterly adore this, thank you so much for finishing it Skye!
Not gonna lie, you totally made me cry, first when I saw it, and again when I read it... thank you

I'm glad you like it! I tried so hard getting her marks and body perfect, so I'm happy you approve
"Not gonna lie, you totally made me cry, first when I saw it, and again when I read it... thank you "
D'awww! I knew I had to finish it for you after I seen your tribute. Heck, I would be devastated if little Bella the dolphin passed away, and I only seen her once! (I did grow very attached to her that one time though XD She was the first cetacean to ever interact with me)... But you've been watching and interacting with Athena since she was born, so yes, I knew she was very special to you, and I knew I just had to finish it.

Beautiful painting. The details are so crisp, yet blend in so nicely.
She was such a beautiful young lady. I wish I could have seen here with my own eyes before she passed.
