Remember my illustrations for the Marine Animal Response Society from a while back? Earlier this yea

Remember my illustrations for the Marine Animal Response Society from a while back? Earlier this year I was asked to paint some additional illustrations for them, and I happily complied. I had a lot of fun with the original (big!) commission, so painting some more for them was a pleasure. MARS is the leading responder to stranded whales and other marine life in distress in the Maritime Provinces. Check out their site, they do great work! And the wonderful species profiles features my work ♥

The fin whale was featured previously, but because of their strongly asymmetrical illustration MARS wanted to show their left side too. The Pygmy sperm whale illos already existed, but based on work on the Dwarf sperm whale I wanted to retouch it a bit. I’m glad to have finally painted narwhals (even though they’re a pain lol) and the bowhead was super interesting too, because it has been a while since I last painted one and they’re unusually proportioned to say the least. Fun to see the progression. The Mola mola was a fun challenge! Never painted fish much. I had lots of fun with this and I hope you’ll enjoy too!
