A) This is rad.

B) Are you joking with the 60x60"? What resolution are you working at? The idea of an 18000x18000px piece is kind of exploding my brain right now

A) Thanks dude!

B) Yeah. I almost cried when photoshop crashed the first time I almost finished this.
Though its only 200 dpi, so is actually only 12000x12000 pixels.

Buh.

Man, are you planning on printing it? Because five square feet of the DOGSQUID CHRONICLES (the HARPOONENING) would be pretty rad.

Is this customary for you? How big have the other pieces you've been posting here been?

I only ask because it's like an order of magnitude larger than I work ^_^ I think if I tried to use some of my chunky texture brushes at that size, Photoshop would explode, even on the new computer.

5 Feet of Squid would be pretty Epic. But you know me an my need to work fucking HUGE. I thought I might as well try to pull that into some of the digital paintings. This was practice for the next piece Im working on for that show in June.

I've just been exploring format as I go along, so nothing standard yet. Generally somewhere in the 3000 - 5000px range. But yeah, it did start to get a little grindy
towards the end there with photoshop progress bar explosions.

Here's a white humpback whale - http://www.migaloowhale.org/
and an albino blue whale - http://liquidpixphotography.smugmug.....93810742_wA2dt

awesome suction cups
and also that guy better watch out for the clacky beak

Holy! I hadn't realized they had beaks. They are horrible looking

Thanks for the white-whale reference. That will be put to good use.
