| 17 Mar 2004 | Zwit | That's some nice convergent evolution you're demonstrating there, Grantham. Pretty clearly not of Earth-cetacean stock, but also pretty clearly filling the exact same niche. | |
| 29 Mar 2004 | The Squealer | I hope I don't find this thing without a giant orca killing projectile. Anyway, beautiful piece of work!!!! I really love how you did the transition between white and black on the "whales'" skin. Oh, and is it a whale or are those gill shaped lines gills? Don't hurt me.   Katherine J. Grantham replies: "Nope, not a whale, just a mean parallel-evolution sea-nasty. It does have gills, but can also breath air through those nostrils up front, but don't ask me to explain how that's an evolutionary advantage -- it's just how I drew the darned thing!" | |
| 30 Mar 2004 | Jadestone | looks very mean, however (I know all artists hate that word): I think it's eye looks a little odd for such a mean creature... or maybe it's just me... I think it looks... a little scared, or confused, or angry, rather than jsut plain mean for meanness' sake... You have a lot more patience than me. Do you use a special ink? All the pens I use end up smearing purple whenever I erase the pencil from underneath. Cool Pic! >^-^<  Katherine J. Grantham replies: "Yeah, the eyes look a little wierd because they have a horizontal slit pupil, rather like a goat's eye. The inks I use are a combo -- some Micron Pigma pens for fine work, and various markers or brush and ink for large black areas. " | |

I hope to never meet one. Scary beastie.... | |
| 4 Dec 2004 | Anonymous | There's nothing wimpy about orca whales. They're the top predators in the ocean, they have no natural enemies aside from man; not even great white sharks can best them. Comparison of them considering they are real animals to fantasy created other worldly animals is by no means fair either. It is a good drawing though. | |
| 1 Nov 2005 | Steve the Younger | Beautiful work, Katherine! I wish I were an artist. Every day. And your work is one of the reasons why. | |

| 29 Dec 2006 | Lessa25 | Dont worry.
Nobody could possibly mistake this auful-looking thing for the beauty and majesty of an earth orca. | |
| 29 Nov 2007 | Savannah Michelle Hughes | The detail is amazing! I love the pose! AHHH! AMAZING! | |
