@_Archesuchus_ i like to leave it up to interpretation BUT my idea when painting it was that the whale had killed the seal. the seal’s response could either be interpreted as agreement (the whale is inherently evil) or disagreement (the whale was simply doing what it was born to do)

@FabrizioART i’m like 99% sure the orca in the image is either a female (so between 18-22 feet on average) or a juvenile male (around the same size-ish), so as far as whale sharks go, a bit small!
