Artist's Comments
I just love this character. Orca-SS (Starscream) reminds me a lot of Loki from Avengers (even though I haven't actually ever seen the movie haha), just one of those evil characters who completely fails all the time, but is incredibly cute in the process. I don't think I conveyed his personality much here but that isn't my strong point
^^;

This gave me such trouble at the start. By screwing up the layers I had to start his shading again from scratch. It also took me ages to get his fluke correct right from the lineart stage too. I also think his belly marking is a bit too far back according to his ref sheet but oh well. It would have been a pain to change so I decided to leave it. This was a hell of perspective and light source challenge! Thankfully though I think I managed to turn it around.

Brownie points for spotting Nemo, Marlin and Dory =p
