This is so astonishing and amazing! And this canvas is really big.

Joecreates (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 1/28/2015 14:32

Oh man, it's beautiful!

I know this is an old post, but man do I love this! Is this an homage to Fantasia 2000? Because if so, that would make this even better!

skaytr (Level 1 Rookie) @ 6/12/2013 09:09

Dat whale, Reminds me of the episode on Doctor Who with the Star Whale...

Sapei (Level 1 Rookie) @ 2/17/2013 23:17

mmmMMMMUUUUUHHH ! !!

beevance (Level 1 Rookie) @ 7/7/2012 23:49

Original idea!

slym (Level 8 Rear Admiral) @ 6/20/2012 23:14

This is what insprired the Free Wilzx episode of South Park. Just sayin.

Flazex (Level 1 Rookie) @ 4/8/2012 15:38

Whale, whale, whale. What do we have here? Good job! (Kudo's to you if you got the joke :3)

8BitBeard (Level 4 Shichikyu) @ 1/25/2012 15:26

Amazing. I'll probably dream about this one tonight.

_Connor (Level 5 Assistant Manager) @ 12/31/2011 07:04

I just realised it's another whale, not a shadow, hence the name "floating whales"

my bad.

_Connor (Level 5 Assistant Manager) @ 12/31/2011 01:43

lol this is great, but how is that shadow even visible on the moon's surface? Or is this a collosal whale?

philippejugnet (Level 6 Hitman) @ 12/30/2011 09:20

shadows looks screwed and the colors of the moon look strange

bobowitzbob (Level 4 Team Leader) @ 5/16/2011 18:59

Awesome and awesome moon. And awesome placement of sig.

LordAndrew (Level 2 Petty Officer) @ 2/5/2011 08:53

Is that you, Bismarck?

HummingBird (Level 1 Thug) @ 1/22/2011 05:27

Just like in South Park. Sent a whale in to the moon.

Mochimandias (Level 2 Quiet One) @ 1/18/2011 06:29

Great design and idea... not talking about the colours, which were perfectly chose

Love it!

yellowbouncyball (Level 2 Corporal) @ 11/17/2010 12:42

I love this one- the texture of the whale is fantastic- one of my favorite pixel pieces ive seen-

MMM103 (Level 1 Thug) @ 7/22/2010 15:18

o.0

I'd end my comment right there if not for the 15 character minimum.

gripfire123 (Level 1 Rookie) @ 6/11/2010 21:50

very nice whales on the moon i like it it looks really cool.

raeli (Level 1 Intern) @ 6/7/2010 01:12

psh. screw what everyone is saying about the moon.

look at that whale?! I'd half-ass a background worse than that if I took the time to get that detailed with the main focal point. :P

Dino502Run (Level 6 Serial Killer) @ 5/4/2010 18:29

I love this SO freaking much

RA/pdx (Level 1 Rookie) @ 12/4/2009 06:58

Whale is great, background is a bit boring.

Brod (Level 1 Jukyu) @ 4/11/2009 14:06

Willzyx is finally home

lap1994 (Level 2 Hired Gun) @ 2/8/2009 16:10

Wow! AWesome texturing *.* The moon is kinda bad =/ shade mistakes and alias.

IanPhillips (Level 1 Rookie) @ 2/1/2009 20:41

OMG ONE WORD! "SOUTHPARK" HAHAHAHHAA

CrazyCurtis94 (Level 1 Private) @ 4/18/2007 13:11

Omg, this is awesome :D The detail is very impressive :)

rajkosk8 (Level 5 Detective) @ 4/18/2007 03:44

beautiful but that shadow should be dark color not black

Vann (Level 1 Rookie) @ 3/30/2007 17:27

Hehe, that is very awesome man! I also love Gojira! Great art.

ceddo (Level 6 Yonkyu) @ 12/1/2006 11:43

zomfg bbq pwnage ftw.

silent sniper (Level 1 Depressed) @ 12/1/2006 08:36

oooooooOOOOOoooo. just plain awesome. that whale seems to just pop out, FAV FOH SHA!

Sohashu (Level 7 Sheriff) @ 10/5/2006 08:56

Wow. This is just about the most exciting natural develpoment ever :D

That whale is awesome man. Great job on the texturing. Despite the fact that it should be a silhouette, im gonna let you slide.

Skull (Level 11 CEO) @ 10/5/2006 08:49

Fabulos work, it's a novel idea and comes across really well.

exocet (Level 6 Major) @ 9/22/2006 04:43

Nice one, I like the idea. I would have used one more colour for the moon though, in order to get a more subtle shading considering it's quite a big part of the picture.

lordcrazy22 (Level 1 Hired Gun) @ 6/19/2006 22:42

wow thats cool. i like whale and you did a great job on this one. 5/5 from me.

buloght (Level 6 Hitman) @ 6/6/2006 13:39

Het this looks great! Interesting shading! fav

Elk (Level 5 Assistant Manager) @ 3/7/2006 08:59

Reminds me a bit of the Windfish in Zeldas Awakening :)

Good work though

6/8

0xDB (Level 5 Detective) @ 11/30/2005 12:36

Wonderful.

Parasight (Level 1 Jukyu) @ 11/2/2005 05:19

Beautiful. I like wales and the moon too ;)

kaileighblue (Level 1 Depressed) @ 10/13/2005 11:42

Wow. That's Nifty. The texture on the whale is great.

Faktablad (Level 6 SWAT) @ 8/30/2005 06:36

Hmm. Somehow it still doesn't seem right, even considering the angle, but a pretty damn good job anyway.

Shay A. (Level 1 Thug) @ 8/22/2005 22:24

Incredible textures! Both the whale & the moon.

truth (Level 1 Rookie) @ 8/3/2005 14:53

I personally think angles are fun, they certainly beat the old RPG games that lack diagnol movements. Anyhow, that is amazing detail, looks like it took a long time. What was your motivation?

Razman811 (Level 1 Jukyu) @ 7/30/2005 06:03

WOW THE DETAIL IS AMAZING HOLY CRAP
