I really like how you managed to merge these two animals, great job

That changed since last I saw it...about a year ago! lol! Definately an awesome job!

o_O Half polarbear, half orca... Now that's a combination I haven't seen before! it looks very intersting though. I'd like to see that big guy chase after seals and fish under the water... mwahhaha. A scary sight indeed. I like how the background is done all in purple but detail is kept nice and clean.

Wiiiiillld... That's a difficult combination of creatures - you pulled it off quite nicely. From the thumbnail in your journal, I thought that this guy would have fairy wings or something, and then I thought that'd be rather out of character. Lo and behold, it's an orca dorsal fin! So I guess that's almost as unusual.

What I find particularly striking is the face - I like the fact that you made even the face reflect the two separate species. It looks odd, but it's definitely a neat effect. The simplified background works in your favor, too; that was a great call. Bravo! Hooray for art trades, even IF they take a year to complete (*guilty blush* - I do the same danged thing and also have been just catching up... )

A truly unique idea. One that I believe has not been attempted by mere mortals before. There is a geno-game for the pc that uses DNA from various creatures to form new and varied creatures. But even in that game, I don't believe these two species have met. Well done *J*.

Interesting and cool.
