No Idea for a Title

Description

Right, to clear things up...

I don't usually mix my characters with real life creatures because I feel it's not normal. It messes with the fictional feelings and also seems odd for the real orcas.
This originally started as a want to draw Keeki and a young Okura, but I ended up replacing Okura with Kalina, for a number of personal reasons.
Kalina was one of my main favourite orcas and I was literally shattered to hear of her death. It shocked me badly and I am still hurting over it.

The reason why I put her in a picture with Keeki is kinda simple in that, Keeki in my orca universe is effectively Kalina to me.
Keeki had the calm, gentle and caring nature as Kalina, she had freckles similar to Kalina and generally, I had her seem like a version of Kalina in my universe. I guess I just never truly took heed or noticed it until Kalina was gone...

I know the art isn't up to my usual standards, and I probably may have even messed up a few of Kalina's markings. I haven't drawn seriously for months and it shows. But I wanted and needed to do something, anything because of this. I had to share something.

I don't even have a decent idea what to call this picture.

RIP Kalina. You will be always loved and missed by me.
