Cetacean Comparative Illustration

Illustration of two noodle whales! Top one is Dorudon atrox, an extinct whale from about 34 million years ago, and the bottom one is a modern false killer whale. These two make for a great comparison: they're about the same length, and their body shapes are pretty similar.

I am eternally disappointed with artistic reconstructions of Dorudon, so I tried really hard to make it look like a real animal here and not some shrink-wrapped made-up reptile monster.
