Description
Wooow that was a LOTTA water to paint. Now I just have to go finish painting an octopus and I can get started on something new. :>Photoshop CS3 and Painter X. Couple of photo refs, mostly for the water.
Don't forget about my kiriban thinger, BTW!

Rambios is SO right.
Stunning use of lighting, and I've never seen anything with such motion and force. This is by far my favorite of all the pictures you've ever done - that's saying a lot since I love EVERYTHING you upload.
