Description
~~~Realistic shaded commission upgraded from a sketch commission for MysticOrca of FA featuring his whalesona, Mystic! (Whalesona - see what I did there?
I was given the opportunity to draw Mystic sporting a new set of wings! They're jet-black on the dorsal side and have some white on the ventral, similar to an orca's tail. I think a a whale with wings is a really cool concept. Especially being an orca, he reminds me somewhat of a totem animal like in the artwork done by the Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest. ^^
I'm also really happy with those wings, especially his right one there. The overall anatomy and shape pleases me.
Fun fact - when I was a kid and first started drawing, I drew whales all the time. Whales, sharks, and dinosaurs.
Thanks again, Mystic! Hope you like!
~~~

Absolutely beautiful. Love the look of those huge wings and the amount of detail put into every individual feather. I've never seen a bird/ orca hybrid before. How long those wings take to draw?

Thanks! This piece is several years old, so I don't recall how long it took.

As stated in my description, this was a commissioned piece, therefore meaning that I do not own this character. You will have to contact the commissioner regarding any design details.

Nice idea and very good realised I like the wings, too, and the pose itself with the tail and everything. Well done!
Thumbs up for the amazing (and fitting) background
When I started drawing, I only tried to draw snakes cause they were the only things/animals/whatever to think of drawing successfully (by me). That's why drawing tails and snake like thingys are no problem for me these days now

This drawing is excellent, and I've seen many different kinds of 'sonas that are amazing, but this one.... ._. whale+humanform+bird is where I draw a line. xD
