Yay arts.

Maybe 3-4 hours start to finish, including sketch?

Is that supposed to be a scar?

 

[DreamerTheresa]

Yes. There's a couple people I follow on DA. One of them has an orca persona with a big scar on his eyepatch.




....that said, I don't think I've ever attempted rendering scars.

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

Ok, that's what I thought. Very nice picture.

Not to nitpick a whole lot but aren't whale scars usually white?

 

[DreamerTheresa]

To really nitpick - I'm pretty sure orcas don't form scar tissue.

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

They do, But I believe its almost black. Rather just raised skin

This is what I mean.
