A Distant Dream

So I've stayed up, until 6:30am, drawing this all night. I've gone mad :p I'm really pleased with this, even if it did give me a lot of trouble. I was bored out of my mind, with little motivation to do anything, so I started to speedpaint this. But it turned into a full on detailed painting, I just couldn't stop as I wanted it to be perfect. I almost gave up at the start as I wasn't really in the mood to draw. But I kept at it and I'm glad I did. Even if the reflections and dodgy parts underwater gave me absolute hell. I swear most of the time drawing this was spent on those darn reflections on its back! They just weren't going right at all but I think I managed to get there in the end.

It's a very distant dream of mine (hence the title) to meet an Orca. I highly doubt it will ever happen though. Another dream is to go see the Believe show at Seaworld Orlando. Again, doubt it will happen, but when I'm older and if I have the money, I'll be off, no doubt about it. Orcas highly fascinate me and I need to see one, it's one of my life goals. :aww:

I got to meet an orca once when I was very young.
