ADOPT Antarctic Killer Whale Coloration Variation

Description

What are Antarctic "Orcas" Killer Whales?
Antarctic Orcas are a simple species of Killer Whale I invented after being bit by what I call the "orca bug".
Upon receiving a detailed poster of various orca species, and with my friends enjoying killer whale art, I decided to create my own species.
I've been drawing cetaceans since I could pick up a pencil, and I felt it was time to have some fun with these amazing animals.

Note that these are only of the FEMALE, the males can be seen here.

Why do they live in Antarctica?
I feel the oceans of the world are vast and mysterious, but none quite so much as the Antarctic waters. I've secretly always wanted to go there while at the same time telling myself I'm completely insane. I hate snow where I live, but I live for a good mystery.
The Type D Orcas that do live in the southern waters fascinate me with their interesting shaped heads, facial markings, and body size.

They're rare, and my creations are rare, too.
Only because humanity hasn't ventured much in the southern waters.

Can I Adopt my own?
Absolutely!
This comes to my point for points.
Nothing in life is free, and neither are these guys.

You can look to the list below depending on whether you'd like to purchase one with :points: or money.

I am also accepting money through paypal.
I would like to adopt one of the orcas from this service:
www.whalemuseum.org/programs/o…

more specifically here:
www.whalemuseum.org/programs/o…

An individual adoption is $35.00 and I'd love to participate.
If you're interested in helping me with this, feel free to PM me.

I promise not to make them too expensive. : )

What if you don't raise enough from the adoptions?
Just so you all know that I'm not a cop out --out for money, whatever I don't raise, I'll try to make up the difference and post it in my journal.

I really want to do this, and I'd love a group effort. :heart:

Are they expensive?
Go by the picture to determine which one you'd like the most.
Obviously rarer orcas are going to cost more - I felt that was logical.

I also want people to enjoy them and afford them at the same time.

Prices by points
Normal variation - 5 points
Caramel Orcas - 15 points
Shadow Killers - 50 points
Ghost Killers - 50 points
Specter Killers 80 points

Prices by Dollar (Orca Adoption Program)
Normal variation - 1 dollar
Caramel Orcas - 3 dollars
Shadow Killers - 5 dollars
Ghost Killers - 5 dollars
Specter Killers -10 dollars

What can I change about them?
Keep them fairly similar to the original example.
Feel free to add spots, scratches, rake marks, or give them a little unique markings.

What about personality wise?
It's up to you.

What about gender, name, location, and their social security numbers?
I don't feel you have to tell me what you're going to do with them (as long as they're not for your own financial gain).
Feel free to name, birth date, gender, and personalize them.
Feel free to create you're own drawings and other personal use items.
Feel free to breed them and cross breed them. ;)

What color are the eyes, YOU DIDN'T PUT IN THE EYES! YOU'RE CRAZY!
I am only crazy once in a while. In this case, I would like for the eye colors to be cool colors.
Greens, Blues, Greys and variations thereof are allowed.

I hope many of you take part in enjoying this awesome species. I really adore them. : )

Thank you!
