Artist's Comments

Ladies and gentlemen, we have liftoff.

So I realized that my sketchbook needs waaay more...non-humans in it. Thus! Oliver's successful launch. The only one who ever believed in him was the hobo whale, Norm.

(It's a marine dork joke. Norm is a right whale, a species known for their crusty growths and being hosts to lice and other parasites.)

Other than that, a happy-to-tears squid, a gruff ex-military octopus, frat boy crabs, an operatic narwhal, his grumpy two-horned buddy, and a female narwhal are the only witnesses as Oliver gets his wings and takes his place among the stars...

This is awesome! I love your non-human characters.. they're all so great and well imagined~

It's an interesting feeling...
:icongrungebunnay:
This is beyond fantastic. I love all their unique expressions and characters! Though I must admit, the crabs reminded me of our Harry Potter characters with crab hats randomly shouting "Heresy!" at any given moment.

ANYWAY I'm rambling. +fav

Give me rampant intellectualism as a coping mechanism. :ohnoes:
