Description
My worst title yet.I spent my whole Sunday and some today on this. Sadly I had to look at pictures of dead, beached cuties in order to try and copy that shiny effect as best as I could.
Also, water surfaces are still so very very hard.
But I'm still quite happy with it.

I love how reflective the water surface is!!! the technique you used makes it look very soft, which I adore. (porpoise is also cute!!)

Hoooolee moly what is it with everyone suddenly posting incredible pieces of cetacean art at the same time??
This is very very pretty, I love how shiny everything looks, from the surface of the ocean to the porpoise themselves. Oh and shucks about your 'wonky anatomy' - this is highly recognisable as a Harbour porp and they're looking great 
Very nice!

Thanks! Yeah, I once grabbed a brush pack that contained those splashes. I'd have to look up which one since I've really hoarded brushes during the years (and end up not using 99% of them), but I'm fairly sure I just googled splash brush and it came up. I do play with opacity, rotating the brush and erasing to try and make it look more natural. I wish I could do it myself completely, and it does appear kinda artificial, but at the moment this still looks better than what I can do by hand.
When I work with traditional paint I simply whack with the paintbrush towards my canvas to get splashes and it actually doesn't look half bad. Takes a bit of aiming, luck and lots of cleaning, though.

Yeah, it's a harbour porpoise. That is, that's what it's supposed to be. My anatomy skills are still quite wonky here and there. I just tell myself it's my "art style".
I might try a vaquita one day.
