This whale looks great, but i like the glowing effect of the water most 
Ps: Did you modelled the entire whale or only the under side
WOW… Spectacular!
Amazing. What Blender can do in the right hands.
Excellent outcome! really like your lighting in the scene.
Some how the scale of the ripples seem a bit off, not sure though
Looks so natural and realistic, nice job with the water surface!
yes, i modelled/sculpted and texture-painted the entire whale.
what are the boxes at the tail?
H eprobably used it for particles system for the bubbles around the tail, making the effect of the splashing tail
This looks awesome, one of the best i’ve seen.
I wouldnt think of CG when i look at it.
Have you plans to animate it ??, i’d love to see him swim
Yes that would be awesome! something like this animation
yes! that was the intension, but they are very minor and barely to see, but it is an detail.
hmm, to animate it would be an nice resumption, ill give it a try, when i have the time.
btw, thank you all for your great reply!
