Artist's Comments

Baby beluga calf nursing!
This is something which I have seen more times than I could ever possibly count... but it never stops being beautiful.

Started this last night and finished it in about three hours, which for me, is a speed painting! lol...
Based on Gemini and Sasha, although you can't really tell.
I love the way that Gem's fluke came out, and her belly... played some more with the water-webbing... at first I didn't plan on putting any kind of lighting in, but changed my mind, let me know what you think!

And I KNOW that the watermark ruins it... but get over it... I've recently had a problem with art theft... it's been solved, but not taking chances.

Random (and-kinda-strange) Beluga Fact
Calves don't actually suckle, the mother squirts milk into the baby's mouth... I've seen it for myself - strange but true ;P

Beautiful ! Very sweet !

I know you don't like water-webbing (I like it as texture in photos)

but ... you're so darn good at it :)

Great work :clap:

I don't blame you for adding a watermark to this :D

I'm so happy you like it!!! Belugas make for great subjects, they have such vibrant expressions... although I still hate painting white. At least when they are under water, they are actually light blue :lmao:
Thank you so much for your kind words, and for :+fav:ing!

"No don't you dare put a mature warning on this! XD"
I'm glad you agree ;P

Thank you!
I don't always dislike water webbing... but sometimes (with belugas in particular, because they are largely white) it can wash a photo out... had it happen to me many times. I'm really glad you like the way I paint it though! :D
Thanks for :+fav:ing as well!
