Description
I was pleasantly surprised that, besides my usual watchers (<3 for you all), there seem to be avid TFP fans who also approve of orca!Knock Out, and my whole concept of TF orcas in general. So here's some more of him.
Took all of four hours to outline and color. A speedpaint, by my standards.I referenced a ShamuCam snapshot of Ulises for this pose, taken today. Don't think I could've done so without a photo to work against.

I might have to keep and eye on the shamu cam! (Not that I could draw the poses this wonderfully)

Good luck. Sometimes the pose refs off that thing are well worth the two or three hours of waiting. And some days, you get lucky within five minutes. It's like the lottery.

It's still amazing! did you take that picture yourself from the Shamu cam?

Thank you.
Yes. I use SC grabs for reference, or simply to archive interesting shots.
Most of my best SC shots can be found here: [link]

Thank you.
I'm still waiting for that one raving nut to jump out of the woodwork and berate me, though.

He's gorgeous, however, he looks a little too mellow to be a 'con. That's me though. The pose is great.

Thanks.
To be mellow and go-with-the-flow is actually canon to his personality on TFP. Besides being vain and self-absorbed.
I look forward to it.

Ah, see, I don't watch TFP. They slaughtered Bee. I'm for for the crazy, kinda mean ones. Blitzwing is my favorite..

I dunno which kind of Bee I like better - mute or unmute. But I read somewhere from a fan saying that, their theory was the powers-to-be made Bee's character so gosh-darn annoying in TFA, they had to 'mute' him for TFP.
Blitzwing's my fave in TFA, for what screen time he got.

I loved Blitzwing in G1. His ultiple personalities is was got me in TFA. Funny little German plane/tank thing
Yes, Bee was REALLY annoying in TFA. I hated that one too. Personally, the best Bee was in G1. That's me though. ^^

The pose and angle are really what make this. Very well done! I wish I could think of interesting poses like this. Screencap reference or not.

Thank you.
It's part of why I watch the ShamuCam, for grabbing pose reference. Ulises was doing a lot more than swimming in circles today. Kept chasing after Kalia and Shouka, so this was actually taken from him making one such turn to try and keep up with them.
Here's the in-progress stage I saved while working on it: [link]

Lucky! Whenever I watch they're either swimming in circles, logging, or doing various activities too far away from the cam to get a decent reference shot.

Sometimes I leave a note in the CS chatbox if I happen to be watching and seeing a lot of activity happening. That'd be one thing to look for.
