Artist's Note

a humpback whale and it's cub.

Reference was a shot from a magazine, not online.

For a more easy themable blue decrease the saturation, I did want to stay with the current tone of blue because it's more "underwater".

And before you ask: has this guy nothing to do, is he weird? let me answer you: I'm currently sick at home, for about 2 weeks... so I got plenty of time to spend on many different things... not only making walls =)

Comments and ratings are as usual very welcome!

Hermik, you are a god. Get better soon. Or don't, if it means more desktops for us.

Recolour some BBX mercury icons, pick a good winamp skin, and this wall is an EASY winner. The whole whale thing isn't my thing, but from an objective standpoint, it's a beautiful piece.

Hermik: I want to thank you for putting so much work into all of these walls. They are gifts, which we use for free, basically. We are definitely proifitng from your work. So, thank you for taking the time and trouble to do all this.

would you marry me? =)... seriously hermik, you are amazing. This piece is great, the blues are perfect, and the subtle shine of the whale is beautiful. You should start thinking on sale this walls as posters, or make yourself some publicity on designiskinky and other websites.

great vector work, i see no flaws. not giving it 100 cause i wouldn't use it as a wp cause i don't like the art style, but i definitely repsect this for what it is.

... I, however, love the art style. It is the most outstanding wall i have seen on here to date. I have been updating my desk the past couple of weeks with just your walls, not knowing you were the one creating these. They are all great. Good perspective. Good proportion. Great colors.
