Tag As FavoriteComment		No they arent manatees!!!!!!!!!!! Theyre alien whales!!!! They are also a very cool study in water-marks: the light patterns underwater. Ive never tried it before so I figured Id give it a go and I think it turned out well. And they look cool, flying through the water and all...

Yes they do look cool. Did you draw all the little dots too? Must have taken some time.

:-) Elizabeth Lortie replies: "I am a stipling freak. Its my specialty (I say specialty because apparently its really hard for people to put dots on paper in a meaningful pattern)."

I love the forms and the shadows caste by the sea's surface, you must have a lot of patience for this amount of work?

:-) Elizabeth Lortie replies: "As mentioned before, its my specialty. I find it surprisingly calming really, its kinda like hypnosis. You forget everything else and focus on the dots."

Breathtakingly beautiful when I think of all the work you did. 2 I love water marks. A whole page of water shadows would look pretty, but i also love whales, so this piece is fantastic squared. When they find life on other planets, I hope it looks like these creatures. Then humans won't kill them off. Hopefully.

:-) Elizabeth Lortie replies: "If humans were that smart the whales would never have neared extinction. Im sure you could find water prints or, if nothing else, aquarium backgrounds with watershadows. Would be nice to think that alien life forms looked like the ones Ive thought up."

PS. i printed this out and out in my spanish binder. By spanish compan~ero saw it and said that it would make a really good stuffed animal. I think she's right!! You should take up sewing! Or perhaps Lisa & Tiff could help you, if they still have sewing as a hobby.

:-) Elizabeth Lortie replies: "People seem to like art for their binders. Those who dont have art usually fill their binder covers with stupid pictures of them and their friends or w/e. Im glad people do it though, its great advertising. I do like the idea of making monster plushies though =)"
