Description
It's an alien space whale! Modeled somewhat after humpback whales. Croik mentioned something about space whales, and the thought that instantly came into my mind was "...I want to draw one." So here's my version of a space whale. A whale that swims through outer space.I've been dissatisfied with my array of coloring techniques, so I tried something new here. I tried to imitate the way I color with paint or colored pencils, by building up from scratch and frequently changing the color of the brush. (Normally I lay a flat base color first.) And I did a bit more with the effects than I normally do, especially with the scratches on the whale's skin.

Probably the space whale's fins are made up of the same material as the wings of Xeelee nightfighters to allow for it to swim through spacetime.

Hmm, the more I look at this creature, the more I think of black holes. Just think for second: something like this behemoth could easily prey upon planets and perhaps even stars, leaving nothing behind with nothing able to escape it.
Brr, scary.

A very elegant and nicely colored design. I like the bioluminescence and fin detail.

Beautiful. As much as I wish this was a true discovery, life in space itself (Not planets but the space between them X3) would be impossible because of it's powerful vacuum force. You'd be sucked from the inside out. Still one can dream, and you do a wonderful job sharing it with Deviant Art. Excellent Piece.

Oh that's totally awesome! I love the colors and the textures, and the little glowing dots down itβs body.
What program do you use?

I use an old version of Paint Shop Pro. I don't recommend it, though... there's programs out there like Photoshop that can do the same things, but way more.
