An immersive artistic illustration, perfectly blending the detailed colored pencil sketching and rich watercolor wash style of the reference seal image with the dynamic pose of a breaching humpback whale. The whale is captured in mid-air, angled powerfully upwards, its body and flippers spread wide to show its massive scale, just like the reference whale. The scene is set in a frigid northern winter environment: chunks of floating ice and dark, wet rocks are scattered in the surrounding icy, deep-indigo water. A massive, circular, churning wave surrounds the whale, creating a strong sense of immersion and depth, rendered with expressive watercolor splashes, white gouache, and fine ink-line details. In the background, majestic, snow-capped arctic mountains rise into a soft, misty winter sky. The whale's skin, barnacles, and textures are meticulously defined with fine pencil cross-hatching, contrasting with the soft, flowing watercolor gradients of the water. High-quality fine art illustration, visible paper texture, soft cinematic arctic light, magical and epic mood.
