Ozias
 Art Fight is officially halfway over, so... probably time to start doing some revenge. This one is for the first attack I received this year, by https://bsky.app/profile/eyeliner1k.bsky.social! She did an amazing drawing of Selena which you can see here! https://artfight.net/attack/12963715.selena Gotta say, I wasn't expecting my first attack just a few hours after Art Fight started, and such a nice one at that.
Anyway, here's Ozias! I don't have much experience with muscular males, and I've never drawn an orca before, but this turned out to be quite a fun challenge! Also, really cool character design.

New #research aims to bring underwater noise’s true impact on killer whales into focus.
Extended periods of time at sea are necessary to collect the data that will bring us closer to understanding – and protecting – killer whales.

Our #cetacean #scientists are preparing for an ambitious 2026 field season aboard Raincoast’s Sailing Vessel Achiever. #RaincoastConservationFoundation has joined forces with #EarthSpeciesProject , a #nonprofit research lab using machine learning to advance our understanding of #AnimalCommunication. At the heart of this project is a deceptively simple idea: to watch and listen at the same time. The team aims to uncover how killer whales use sound to coordinate movements, share prey, and maintain social bonds – to ultimately understand and mitigate how noise pollution interferes with these processes.

"The bulk of the scientific literature on the species amounts to "ooh, we saw one!" followed by some locality where they hadn't been seen before."

I'm enjoying learning about deep ocean dolphins on the latest #Synapsida post by @JKRevell. That quotation is referring to "pygmy killer whales", which are dolphins that are not whales and not closely related to orcas. This open ocean dolphin is "one of the least likely dolphin species to be seen" and "we know essentially nothing about their mating habits and reproduction".

It's a vast blue world out there.

There were two of us to watch a moment in the lives of various animals brought together by an unspecified series of incidents, and a part of their journey in a familiar, strange world.

Sound design, animal behavior, and details are phenomenal; cat sounds, capybara chill, lemur upright.
