The Sky Whale (W.I.P.)

I saw this pic on the 'net some time ago of this scuba guy hi-fiving a humpback whale.

Something about that photo just caught me and well...a while later I had this idea to draw it. But in my twisted way of course. I've been drawing monsters lately and it's been quite some time since I've drawn anything grotesque. And I want to do BIG drawings now. Like huge! :D

So I bought the largest Art block I can find, size is A2 and woohoo I was getting high off all that expanse of blank paper! :P So here's the result (still in progress):

The weapon of choice are Sharpie markers. Oh the fumes...

It is sort of set in a post-apocalyptic world (oh I love those) and the 'whale' is part machine. Cyborg Sky Whale.

And this is how far I've got as of now. I originally intended the guy to be holding on to the top of a leaning building but I'm gonna change that now to maybe him being on a jetpack or something.

The whale with its many eyessss...

Detail of that swirly brain.

It's not finished yet, not by a long shot. Gonna unroll it and work on it some more soon. :)
