Heh. Bears are awesome.

so what is her next meal gonna be

I have a couple of stories planned and one of them is half done that features our lady friend here. In one she eats a fellow polar bear and in the other a killer whale (that story idea inspired this drawing).

Nice! Would be cool to see a version where a polar bear is eaten by a orca!

Originally I had the orca's eye sharply showing through her flesh. There's still a faint impression of it below the orca's fin tip, if that's what you saw. 83

I thought that might be dirt or moisture on the fur at first, given its a prey from a water environment! I do like the look of the stretched fur -- makes sense, and its an effect I don't think I've ever tried properly.

It's really hard to pull off. I did it better with traditional media the one time. I should work on the technique, if I can make my ancient copy of ghetto Photoshop cooperate. 83

Goodness! What a meal! :3

Nice, Strega! Great to see the Great Mother Bear again. I'm impressed at how well you handle such a large roster of characters.

Speaking of being impressed, your recent works have been very nicely done. The cheek bulges for the Mother Bear here and Ripper in your latest pic with him are fantastic and the drool is a very nice touch. Likewise you did the stretched pelt well too, although I agree for the amount of effort it's an effect only your fans knowledgeable about polar bears will appreciate. Still it's great to see you take things like that into account - I'm always surprised at how much thought you put into your characters and your work!

One neat thing about this is all the different textures. The Great Mother Bear's fur contrasts nicely with the slick orca skin. The imprint in the snow is a good effect and I really like how you did the water in the background. The light reflecting is done well and the ice chunk causing a ripple is cool too.

And it was great to see the rest of I-MILF too! Your skill at writing really comes across well in your dialog. Not to mention it's very respectable of you to go back and complete the comic like that.

Can't wait to see the story this was based on! It's funny that in one of the previous Great Mother Bear pics you mentioned  MeanyBeany because she does seem like she'd be right at home in his work with her ever-larger meals. I'm looking forward to seeing how far you take this!

Thanks again for sharing your work, Strega! It's good to see you keep getting new fans. Good luck with everything! :3

As I was sketching this at Anthrocon I was thinking "This is right up Meanybeany's alley", heh. No one does huge fat predators like ol' Meany.

Hopefully I will get some work done on the Great Mother Bear stories soon. I have a family get together to attend and since I can't draw there, sometimes I get some writing done on my phone.

i must commission you!!! XD

That...is one fantastically-huge bear. It was neat to see you sketching this out at the con; I wouldn't mind, possibly, seeing a slightly 'before' pic, to better compare the sizes!

The only good bear is the bear struggling inside the powerful walls of my rottweilers digestive track...........

That being said, pretty cool drawing my friend. Nice position, the concept is radically arousing :P

great job again, can not wait to see this new story!

orca! I think that was a seal

OMG... that's a really huge bear...o-o

good work =)

Ah wow, i recall the mother bear and the seal from ages ago love that story, loving this one just as much defo would love to read the story

I like this one.

Yes...very yes. I remeber reading those stories a veeeeery long time ago. XD

Next in line, the humpback whale.

Oh wow, how did this slip under the radar... very nice, can't wait to see what happens next. ^^

When I was drawing this I thought "This looks like something Meany would draw", heh.

Heheh. Well, the next thing I would draw would be her eating a whale...

If you were drawing her she'd eventually he slurping up galaxies. 83

Maybe. Things have a way of getting out of hand...

that's a lot of protein for that polar bear she probably will not have to eat for months
