My Entry for the Whale Tank promo art contest!
The gentle giant lights the way for minnows.
Hello everyone! I'm pleased to finally present you my entry for the contest. This was a huge project that I've been working on for a day and a half. Here is a link to the contest page if you want to learn more.

There you can see entries from other artists using all sorts of mediums. If you are an artist or designer, you should get on it as there is a big reward pool :)
I've been working on this huge digital vector project all day. I managed to save the project at different stages.
Let's take a look at the design process for this massive Whale!
- Pen
He was based on my Steampunk whale illustration I did a few months back. This whale looks a bit more Cyber.
It can be painstaking but really pays off in the end.
- Flat image
Here it is fully colored in. It's not bad at all with basic, flat Vector coloring.
- Final
Here he is with all the visual FX settings Affinity Designer has to offer :) The 3D FX are pretty cool and have their own lighting.
Well, I really hope you liked that beast of a project. I feel totally spent but really happy with the results. I think this one has a good chance!
