A commission for Here is "WhaleBird" [Lugia] done in the style of the traditional North West Coast Pacific.A little interesting note about this image- after "TurtleBear" [found here-> [link] my friends and I went to show our Medicine Men/women, Elders, Family, be it who it may that have more of an "authority" on us. Just to make sure we weren't trespassing on any rules (I can't stress enough that there are so many rules and cultural "no-nos" as well as "yeses" when drawing in this style).Not only were the creatures greeted with big smiles (or in one case, a screaming-for-joy younger sister), our only condition to drawing these was that we had to have a story to honor them- the creatures that made up the beast that we drew, and as to why a creature like this would have existed- but of course it also had to dishevel a moral lesson.And then we would have to tell it to the people and our friends.Lucky for me WhaleBird already had a moral lesson of respecting the balance of nature, and working together!Hope you like Kimbo!
