A moment of silence for those markers. This was a mighty task.

many markers died for this art

Their sacrifice was not in vain!

(Herman) Melville's Whale.
Love it.
And Our Host should be proud. The water and spray in this pic looks great.

Wow, that's a visceral sense of power there, like a 40 ton bullet shot from a gun. I don't normally think of whales in terms of fear, but this is definitely one for nightmares!

Yeah, that particular prehistoric horror is pretty much a whaler's nightmare. That thing almost certainly would have been a man-eater - or at least capable of it - were we alive when it was.

Though it also, if you'll excuse the fan geekery, reminds me of a prehistoric version of the Leviathans of the Star Trek universe - the titanic superwhales that built the Probe that the fourth movie's plot was centered around.

Gorgeous! *(and so is the art!)

wow. The waves, the water, the creatures - just marvellous!

This is amazing, and I love it.

Wow! That whole image is incredible, quite apart from the marker casualties involved. ;)

The waves have something of a Japanese art feel to them, on first glance. Did you reference them, by chance?

They were not directly copied. I needed a particular composition of the waves, so I pretty much had to draw them from scratch. I used a few photos to get what the surface ripples looked like and some colors, but that was about it.
